Expressions Photo & I Love Photo Gifts

I am in love! A chair is just a chair, until you make it YOURS of course! While surfing the web for something completely not related to this subject, I came across these chairs and thought WOW!!! So, my first thing is how the heck did Goggle get me to these when I typed in something about “reviews”, hmm, so unclear on that! But anyway, how awesome are these:

OK, many of you may think I am nuts for liking these, excuse me LOVING these, but the quality looks amazing and the pictures are just yummy! Now can you imagine Fido or Sparkles the cat on one of these babies? Unfortunately, they are only offered in France, and until I can learn to speak French, I cannot even read their website, but you know if I can get them they will be in the store ASAP!

Did I say how much I love these?!?!

I have had such a crazy but exciting week! I have been so behind on getting new products up in the store that I have been sitting, this week I managed to get 2 of our newest artists up on the site as well as a new Photo Purse manufacturer……and I am so excited!

Here is a peak at two of the newest products:

Above are our newest jewelry artisan who does a fabulous vintage collection of heirloom jewelry! I will definitely be ordering a piece for myself. We have finished adding a few of those items to our store, but we have a lot more from this artist to add so stay tuned!

The other is a Custom Accordian Album with an image and elegant fabric all pulled together to create a unique gift idea that will thrill anyone!

If you have not checked out the site, you may want to take a peak at the New Products category, there is a lot from this week and we are no where near done yet! We still have another line of new Custom Photo Purse, more jewelry and other fun products!

We are also thrilled to announce that we were chosen as a business to be profiled in an article for Entrepreneur recently! This was a big deal for us and the article was also picked up on Yahoo News as well as thestreet.com!

It has been a really exciting week for us and I have some other really big things coming up that I hope to be able to share soon!

I just found this adorable company called TogetherBook.com, they will take your printed images and bind them into an adorable little book. They have gorgeous cover options and seem like a great product! I have not tried them out, but I plan on it! This is a great motivation to have everyone get those pictures OFF the computer or even worse, your camera card!

Listen to the music…on the radio….

So, we are having some fun and kicking things up a notch with a cyber-party being hosted by a great BLOG 5-Minutes for Mom.

We hope if you visit our site today that you will take a few minutes to stop by their BLOG and check out the great party and maybe meet a few new friends! Oh, and there are some really great prizes going on over there too!

If you are coming from 5-minutes for mom…then let me introduce myself! I am Jill, owner of Expressions Photo! I started my business back in 2002 and have been working hard at building it up! I am passionate about pictures and memories and work hard to keep my customers (and blog readers!) up on the latest trends in keeping their images safe, cool new things that they can do with them and how to display them. As a photographer I also give lots of tips and tricks and taking great pictures at home. I found my passion in life…..and plan on doing this until I cannot do it no more!

I am looking forward to meeting some of you this week and seeing all the great blogs out there!

Oh…and by the way….although we are already giving away a prize on the party blog…why not put another prize out there!

Leave a comment on our BLOG and be entered to win a Molly West Sleeve Binder album! Who knows…maybe I will give away a few prizes this week, but I guess there is only one way to find out right?!?!?

Looking forward to meeting everyone — and PARTY ON!

We saw these at a recent show we attended and thought they were pretty neat! Create a cool table top display or wall mount them for a cool collage, mix and match abend and stretch…these neat Pikture Klips take photo display to a whole new level. Perfect for those with contemporary homes!

I found this adorable shop online called Tiny Tales! Cute little kits that can be kept nearby to mark off those adorable milestones during your pregnancy, baby’s first year or during those fun filled toddler years.

If you are looking for a creative and functional way to remember those moments, then check out Tiny Tales.

Since we are always on the lookout for the latest and greatest in the photo world, we ventured into NY last weekend for the Gift Show. We are very excited to have found some great new products that we will be adding to our store in the coming weeks. But, we also found some really awesome things that we just want to share!

For those that love their pets and want something different, then you have to check out this line of pet products! Super modern, but oh so comfortable! Check out Hepper LLC online to see more of their great products.
