We’re excited to have Sarah of Parisi Images back for another guest post here at Paperie! This time she’s sharing her in-home gallery space with our readers.

And make sure you read ’til the end because we have new birthday party info!

Parisi Images logo

The actual space is a small (barely over 100 square feet) four-season porch attached to the back of the house. It offers just enough room to do what I love—invite a bride a groom over to share in some wine or coffee and spend the evening sharing our stories. If you meet with me, you’ll soon learn that the reason I photograph weddings is because I love stories…and I want you to see and to know that your story is beautiful, just the way it is. The design of the space is driven by the the idea of generous hospitality—the table—an old farmstand table painted white—holds center stage. Just like so many kitchen tables, it’s at the table where we get to know one another, where the sharing, the giving, the receiving all take place when you come for a visit.

For other photographers out there interested in what went into creating this space, you shouldn’t be surprised to learn that it all stems directly from my brand and packaging materials. One way to know if your branding is working for you is to see how well it translates into a variety of uses, purposes and spaces.

I initially planned to create a “living room” scene with a sofa and large-screen display. After a great deal of trial-and-error, I came to realize the space was just too small to provide ample room for a couch.

“Plan B” evolved into pairing down the furniture to absolute essentials—a table and seating. Using a bench on one side of the table offered enough seating for clients without filling the room with excess chairs and keeps the visual appeal of the space tight and tidy.

The room divider filled with images creates a small entryway, accented by a stool showcasing the circle emblem of my logo. (I personally love this touch!) Most of all, I intentionally filled the space with gallery wraps, large prints and sample albums, giving clients the ability to really envision ways they can make use of their own images.

I decided to jump head first into a complete overhaul and re-brand of my business which was unveiled in April. (You can read all about the process here.) It was a four month journey from start to finish that included a new logo, rebuilding a new website and blog, new products, a business video, new processes (from a business side), new opportunities for my clients, new marketing and NEW packaging.

It was a TON of hard work and many late nights of decision making. In the end, I am so happy with the final outcome and a “look” that truly reflects who I am and what my business is all about.

One of the most fun parts of the re-brand was designing my new marketing and packaging. When I began to envision my custom packaging I knew that I wanted everything to have a very personal touch. With so many things manufactured these days, there is something about holding something someone MADE and personalized in your hands that always feels, I dunno, warm and inviting.

I wanted packaging that looked like me and spoke to the heart of the details that I care so much about. I also wanted everything to coordinate, feel organic and have a purpose. I found ways to implement my signature metallic gold, black, white, kraft and my fun chevron print as the bones of my design. I then worked to create something that was beautiful, meaningful and practical for my clients.

    Here is the vendor information for the photos and products shown above:

Lindsay Alexander Photography

1. Business cards were designed by me and ordered from VistaPrint
    on their new high-quality thick stock. I love them! I hand-painted
    the edges myself. LOVE how they turned out!

2. My postcards were designed by me and ordered from VistaPrint -
    their standard postcards. Practical and perfect for their purpose.
    They are lots of fun to send!

3. My small treat bags for my little clients along with my larger
    muslin bags are from Celestial Gifts.

4. My stamps were designed by me and ordered through
    RubberStamps.net.

5. My vertical hang-tags are basically vertical business cards with
    my image on the front and basic info on the back. They are a linen
    texture from VistaPrint.

6. My kraft DVD sleeves are from ReBinder. I have used them all
    four years of my business and just love them. They look great,
    work great and are RECYCLED materials. The best part!

7. My gold and white twine is from The Twinery.

8. Both trifolds were designed by me and were printed through
    WHCC on their watercolor paper. I LOVE the quality and feel
    of these. They are really beautiful.

9. Kraft bags and tissue are from Hobby Lobby and when they
    go on sale (which they always do), I stock up! Inside are
    usually prints that are inserted into bags with backing board
    from ClearBags.com.

10. My wedding boxes are from Paper Source. I have also used
     them for my boxes for four years. The quality is GREAT and I
     love that these have a nubby, recycled paper quality to them.

button slip into something comfortable

We’re excited to have ChrysQ’s Luxe Slipcovers here for a guest / vendor post! Read ’til the end because they have a special offer for Paperie readers! There’s also a special offer from Click Magazine.

But first, a quick apology that things have been silent around here for the last week or so. We think this graphic will help explain it best.

Ferris Bueller Game Board

It’s pretty tough coming up with new illnesses…I’m probably going to have to barf up a lung, so I better make this one count.

Our family has been slammed with yet another cold / flu / mystery illness, and one-by-one we all toppled like dominoes. Hopefully the worst is behind us now though, so on with the show!

(See more about the awesome “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Board Game” shown here.)

We’re excited to have another photographer packaging feature / guest post here at Paperie Boutique!

Please welcome Sarah of Parisi Images – don’t forget to visit her blog for additional images and vendor resources for the products shown below!


div line

Parisi Images logo

Since starting my photography business in 2007, I have worked hard at honing my brand into one that is both timeless and versatile. It has always been important to me that my branding allow my images to speak for themselves, giving the photographs center attention and not the design. Similarly, it’s been important that the branding emphasize the story-telling approach I take when photographing weddings.

When designing my identity system (I am a professional designer as well as photographer), I took cues from the design and layout of old newspapers, magazines (namely Life) and advertisements. This meant that I kept my color palette to the simple combination of black, white and kraft. Over time, as I added more pieces – namely the 8×8 brochure booklet – I included additional colors pulled directly from my images—colors like navy, burnt orange, magenta and deep kelly green.

Perhaps the two most important pieces in my branding so far are the kraft folders and the 8×8 12-page informational brochure booklet. The kraft folders (folders from Paper Presentation and letterpress logo printed by Cranky Pressman) offer me a great way to provide prospective and current clients with packets of information as well as giving me an easy-to-ship way to package fine art prints. The informational brochure/booklet is meant to be a stand-out piece that I mail to any bride who inquires about my services.

Other items in my identity system pieces include a square 2×2 business card on kraft paper, an A2 flat card I use to write handwritten notes of all sorts (I intentionally decided to make a generic card so that I could use them for all occasions), custom post-it notes and, of course, logo stickers and shipping labels.

Erica Clark Photography

click each Wrap Battle entry photo for a larger pop-up version

“All boxes purchased at H-B Photo.

The brown paper bags shown in the first image were purchased at my local dollar store where they are 2 for a $1.

I bought the tiny brown paper sacks from a vendor on Etsy. I tuck a business card inside and clip it with a miniature clothespin I found for $2.00 a box on clearance at Walmart.

The baker’s twine is from Etsy.

I bought the twine from our local farm store when they were marked down and out in a clearance bin.

All ribbon/lace was purchased at our local Hobby Lobby.

The burlap, which is cut into strips, was also purchased at Hobby Lobby.

The tissue paper was purchased at Target. The little back chalkboard ‘thank you’ tag is actually just black card stock with a hole punched in it.

My business cards and some of the stickers and mini cards are from Moo.

The stickers I use to seal the tissue paper are from WHCC. The 5×5 press printed square is also from WHCC and I use the other side to hand write a thank you note.

The petal enclosure is what I use for discs of digital files and the 5×5 card fits right on top of it. I buy those from The Paper Source. I seal the enclosure with one of the Moo stickers.

The 3×3 accordions are from WHCC and are sometimes one of the little gifts I give my clients.

The following is what goes into my bridal packets: Some of the press printed products are purchased from WHCC others are from ProDPI.

The templates were purchased from Design Aglow.” -Erica, Erica Clark Photography

button I wanna publish ‘zines

We’re excited to have GO{4}PRO Photos back for another fantastic GIVEAWAY and guest / vendor post! They’re here to debut their new Product Guide Look Book – Paperie readers get a $50 discount, and one lucky Paperie viewer will walk away with a Product Guide Look Book of their very own!

Product Guide Look Book

The Pricing Product Guide
THE PRICING PRODUCT GUIDE is designed to solve two problems that photographers face. The first being that we want to inspire our clients to do something amazing with what we’ve created for them. What we don’t want to see, is them framing an 8×10 and calling it “huge”.

The second struggle that I know many photographer’s face is getting consistent good sales. You have bills to pay and your time is valuable. When one sale rings up at $100.00 and the next rings up at $1,000.00, It’s pretty hard to plan a monthly budget.

Your personal Pricing Product Guide can be shared with clients as an online magazine or a PDF. So you can share a digital version with clients through your email correspondence.

In addition to sharing it as e-magazine, it can also be shared as a book! So when you get into that ordering appointment, you actually hand over this beautiful BOOK for your clients to peruse, and it happens to be identical to what they saw in your online version!

Product Guide Look Book
