This has been something I have been planning in my head for such a long time. Before I launch my shop, I want to show y'all every item I'll be selling (as of right now). I have been doing research for months on the best products, the best prints, the best of everything. I've ordered everything myself, tested it all out, and made sure that it was something I wanted to have associated with my own brand. I'm so excited to show you!
The Onyx Glass Box- $75
I have been taking and developing pictures since I can remember, and you know where most of them are? In shoe boxes underneath my bed. I have been searching for the perfect display box that has a feminine, but masculine touch... both chic but also industrial-like. Something you can put on a shelf, on your coffee table, or even use as a shadow box to hang on your wall. I won't lie to you, though- this one was my second favorite as my first choice is made in Norway or somewhere like that and the cost was just unattainable. BUT I LOVE this one. It's made of brass and glass with an onyx finish, and due to the handmade nature, no two will be exactly alike. The best part is it's a small business just like mine, made in the US. This box will fit up to 110 standard 5x7 prints, or roughly 50 thicker prints. Which brings us to my next product:
Extra Thick Matte Prints- $35-$85
Personally, I'm a sucker for those cheap prints- mainly because they all go in those shoe boxes I was talking about. But I have been searching for some higher quality products that I can use to frame or display, and I found them. Printed on 120lb Mohawk superfine eggshell textured paper, which is also 100% post-consumer material for those who care about recycling and protecting the earth like me! Normally, I wouldn't spend this kind of money on prints, but for those special occasions, or the photos I want to display- I absolutely will.
The Crystal USB Drive- $55
I've lost so many photos in my lifetime because I didn't back them up. I have a whole 2 year period where I didn't realize my phone wasn't syncing to my cloud, and then my phone drowned and everything on my phone was lost forever. Things like USB drives and external hard drives have been life savers. When it comes to my clients, I don't keep your photos forever. If you've been a client of mine, you know that's in the contract ;) This is a GREAT way to make sure you back up your photos from our session, and if you order it within the time frame that I still have your photos, I'll make sure to put the photos on there myself. The crystal glass USB (16GB) is held securely with a precisely fitted slot in a finely-threaded cream linen fabric box.
Digital Art- $35
Some of you know that I do art as well, but I haven't been able to focus too much on that the last six months or so. These digital family portraits have been some of my favorite ones to do. The great thing about these is it can be ANY photo of your choice, whether I took it or not. The printable digital file will be sent via email. Printing places I recommend are iprintfromhome.com, Office Depot, Printkeg, and Artifact Uprising (if you want to splurge because they're $$$).
Tshirts- $30
This is something I've been wanting to do for so long now! This is the first design and color of many (hopefully!!) and I'm so excited for the response I've already gotten from all of you lovely people so far! The design on the front of the shirt represents me because I pretty much am always taking pictures and always have some sort of hat on...I've just always been obsessed with hats! But the thing I love about it is that it can represent so many others who see themselves as "the girl behind the camera". I can't wait to release these! Please tag me on social media @a.lynnephotos and use the hashtag #thegirlbehindthecamera !!! Thanks to Kasi Calvin at Create: Pensacola for the amazing print job- top quality!
Hats- $25
This hat will be a preorder! You'll have a choice between unstructured (as shown in the image) and structured (typical baseball hat). For now the only color is black with white embroidery of my logo (Thanks again to Kasi Calvin at Create: Pensacola).
I can't wait to launch these items! Keep an eye out... it's coming soon!!
