"CLIENT GIFTS" // 2014

I was recently asked about what I did for client gifts last year. Although this isn't expected or anything [even more so since I am still practicing/don't have a business and thus these aren't "true" "client" gifts], I wanted to try this idea out and (hopefully) bless the people that I had done sessions with in a fun way. :) Some photographers give these as Christmas gifts, but I decided to wait until my 2014 sessions were done so I could order the right amount of the main supplies. Plus, it was kinda fun to surprise them at a separate time. :) These are somewhat simple, but here's some behind-the-scenes phone pics + notes in case it is helpful to someone:

These matte finish magnets are from Nations Photo Lab during one of their flash sales.  I was looking for something somewhat simple since there were so many families, but still special. I was a little concerned about magnets since some people don't have magnetic fridges, but I've been amazed at HOW many families still have these on their fridges or cabinets. Makes my day. :)

The thank you cards were designed on Shutterfly. The finish is fantastic to write on, the size is 3x5" (nice and small), and I added Philippians 1:3 to the inside. Thanks to Amanda, Hannah, and Heather for the behind-the-scenes pictures!

Wrote a handwritten note on each one + sealed the envelope with a piece of gold washi tape.

The magnets were more of the "keepsake" practical gift, but I threw in a small package of homemade cinnamon twistee treats. :)

A peek into one of the finished packages.

Lined up and ready to be filled & delivered!
