Hi friends!  Life is crazy, our family just got over covid, and work is keeping me busy busy busy!  At the same time, I am excited to show you 2 new products that are now available!!!!

First, I have a BACKDROP COLLECTION with my own designs over at Intuition (https://www.intuitionbackgrounds.com/collections/caralee-case-collection).  There are only a few backdrops right now, but all my older ones will be added soon, and I have some new ones on the way as well!!!!!!

I did a blog post on release day showing the polka dot backdrops in use here:  http://caraleecasephotography.com/blog/cake-smash/idaho-falls-id-newborn-infant-child-photographer-perfectly-polka-dot-backdrops/  Since the original release of these new backdrops I have added RED and GREY to the collection!!!!!  I know that I WILL DEFINITELY be using the red and gray for some of my December newborn sessions!!!!!  https://www.intuitionbackgrounds.com/collections/caralee-case-collection

Second, I have a new line of DIGITAL BACKDROPS!!!!  I’ve done all the work creating the images with colors, layers and details I love, and all you have to do…is place your baby in!  Here are a few examples:

Here is a little look at some of the other digital backgrounds in my collection.  Check the website for all my designs! AND it’s BOGO through Black Friday using code:  BOGOBF

Hi friends!  I’ve been designing some *NEW mini album templates and I’m so excited to share them with you!  In my head I envisioned paint strokes, with imperfect edges, no photo mats, no straight lines, just raw brush strokes paired with stars and star trails in my first 2 album designs.

First, here is the *NEW* {Kiara} mini album.  This album is SO CUTE and has some sparkle to it!  You KNOW I love anything that sparkles!  In the photo above you can see how I chose gold glitter for all the stars and star trails.  But guess what?????  You don’t have to use the glitter!!!  As you can see in the example below you can choose ANY color you’d like for the stars and star trails, and even mix glitter with solid colors.  The possibilities are endless!

Another one of the *NEW* mini album designs {Blaine} also features photo clipping masks that are like brush strokes.  And for the boys…a bit fewer stars and star trails in the background.  You can customize the background colors, the star colors, and the star trail colors to compliment YOUR images!  When I look at this album all I can think about is sweet dreams!

This is {Ella}, filled with soft colors and delicate patterns (ALL customizable of course), and lots of room to show off those beautiful babies! The design you see below has 13 images, but if you add one more to the back cover you can fit 14 or more photos into this design!!!  You can also insert text that is specific to your client; a family saying, birth information, a quote they love, anything at all.  Make it special and unique for your client! 

The {Cache} template is bold and beautiful, with masculine colors and shapes.  I have this little album printed as part of my studio product samples, and it is an eye-catcher!!!! And so is {Blaine}! One template is a little softer and dreamier, and this one is bold with geometric patterns and crisp white photo mats.

And last but not least, the {Abigail} mini accordion template.  This album is full of fun photo layers in various whimsical shapes, that make this album elegant, maybe even regal.  Just right for YOUR client’s newborn princess.  You know what’s coming…..as always, the colors, shapes, patterns, and more are ALL customizable!  It is so easy, just double click on a color layer you want to change, and your sampling/eyedropper tool will pop up.  You can just pick a color you like from the graph, OR you can use the eyedropper tool, click on one of your images and that will give you the exact same color as your photo, to use as a background color, or a text color.  It’s magic!  Thanks for taking the time to view some of my new products.  I hope you enjoy them.  And for anyone who made it to the end of my long winded store update blog post, please enjoy 30% off your order using code:  mayflowers    Code expires Sunday, May 17th at midnight.

Sending you all my love, joy, support AND color happiness! ~ Caralee Case

 

Hi friends,

Today I’m testing my newsletter software! I’m working on getting my pictures BACK into my newsletter. The newsletter has been sending out my blog posts, but with text only. For a photographer, that’s NO good! I have got to find a fix for it! Above is a picture from Carter’s newborn session……

And now…. I want to introduce you to one of my NEW template designs {Carter}! This template in particular has SO many details, shapes, patterns, and more that you can customize. And get this…..I created the pages with the blue and brown plaid COMPLETELY customizable!!!!!!!! Even down to the tiny little lines on the plaid design. You can change ANYTHING about the plaid, and make it any combination of colors that fits your photos. You do NOT want to know how long that took me, but it was worth the work!!!!!!

I zoomed in on some of the pages inside the book to you can see the detail, especially in the plaid design:

Thank you so much for helping me test my newsletter software, and for reading about my newest template. Even if my newsletter test doesn’t work. As a thank you please enjoy 40% off any purchase in the template shop!!!! The discount code is valid now until Sunday 5/10/20 at midnight. CODE: HELPFOR40 P.S. I have NEVER offered 40% off in my template shop!!!! EVER!!! Take advantage and get all your favorites!!! Sending my love, color, happiness, kindness, and support to each and every one of you. Thank you again ~ Caralee Case

Hi friends, I have been adding new templates to the shop all year. One at a time so you may not have even noticed! But I have several that will be in the template shop by the weekend. Yay for new cute options!!!! Here is a look at 2 templates that I added today! The {Jane} 5×7 birth announcement, and the {Jane} 3×3 accordion mini album.

I designed {Jane} very simply to really showcase your favorite image on the entire front side! And stayed rather simple in the accordion design to match. Many pages are open, just for photos! And there is also 2 pages dedicated for one large photo. Let’s highlight those gorgeous images of yours!   Visit the store HERE!!!!

I have been teaching photography workshops since 2012, and it has been amazing!!  Watching ‘my’ students grow, hone their craft, and reach the level of quality and success they desire makes me SO happy.  I say ‘my’ students, because I love and care about EACH ONE of my students!  Even long after our workshop has taken place, I’m there to continue the learning and support of the students;  to be their cheerleader, advisor, friend, brainstorm helper, an ear to vent their troubles too, whatever they need.   I LOVE teaching!!!  It is in my heart, it is in my blood, I am passionate about it, and I strive to always give 150%!

 

A few days ago I received this message from a July 2019 workshop student, and wanted to share it with you!

 

As a teacher, there is nothing better than to hear than this^!!!!!  MY HEART IS FULL!!!!!!!!!!!  Thank you for your sweet words Megan!

Hi friends, I have been on a ROLL designing new mini albums for my client’s! I am wondering if I should make them available in the store? On this first one, every color of the strawberries is changeable.  Strawberry body, stem, seeds, and there is an outline around them if you want.   You can make any color strawberries you want!

I absolutely LOVE that you can change the colors of the plaid in this one:

You all know that I am obsessed with flowers, so it was fun to incorporate some flowers into this design to compliment Vanessa’s newborn pictures.

Again, you can easily change the plaid colors and all other elements in this masculine design!

This one is sweet and simple, to highlight the pictures!

I LOVE this design for boys and can’t wait to use it for a newborn session too!

And this one is full of details.  It would look amazing in so many different colors!

Let me know if you want me to add any of these designs to the store!  ~ Caralee Case
