Custom Card: Shoe Heaven

June 21, 2012

Filed Under : Cards - Paper Projects

I get all giddy when my customers order custom cards — for themselves. I secretly blush over on this end. It’s not every day someone orders a card just to have one of my creations sitting on their desk. This was one of those cards. The gal has a passion for shoes and has one too many, so therefore, a shoe heaven had to be created for her.

Shoot #5-A: Just Styled

Shoot 5 of 5, Part One: The fifth and final shoot took place in my hometown, at a little public park filled with tree stumps and picnic tables. I was on my own this time with just the photographer. Intimidating, but I had a blast being able to style things however I wanted. We had no models either this time around. The cards and stationery were all on their own. Part Two of this shoot will be posted next Thursday.

Shoot #4: Forest

Shoot 4 of 5: I envisioned this shoot to be straight out of a fairytale: a huntsman with his lady. When I saw my models arrive decked out in their costumes, I was thrilled! My model stylist read my mind exactly: the guy had his rugged, textured look; and the gal had on her pixie skirt and loose blouse. Perfect. But the pressure was on, because I actually got to scene style this shoot myself — which turned out to be buckets of fun. Here’s the inspiration board I came up with:

My photographer took us to a pretty park that had a woodsy feel to it, but let more light filter in than your average forest. Unfortunately, it started to rain that day, and it got so bad at one point that we had to call it quits. Rain and stationery do not mix too well. Bummer. At least while the rain held up, we got some pretty pictures in…
