Tiny Baby, Big Announcement!

Whether you are anticipating your baby's arrival or are wrapped up in the marvel of your newborn miracle, sharing your good news with friends and family remains high on the priority list.  Be sure to take plenty of pictures from day one!  Your little baby will change so fast, her wrinkles will soften into rolls, and before long you'll be celebrating a first birthday.  Baby announcements with a photo are sure to be treasured, framed by grandma, scrapbooked by your friend, and kept for baby's posterity to enjoy in years to come.  Capture your infants photo shoot with natural sunlight if possible--move your baby close to a window for some heavenly rays.  Dress your baby in a simple outfit if at all . . . and throw a solid-colored sheet or blanket on the couch or floor for a backdrop.  Experiment with close-up shots and different angles.  Take plenty of photos!  You will never regret having too many baby pictures!  (Thank goodness for digital cameras!)

The hard part is done--your baby has arrived and you've taken some great photos.  The next step should be simple, affordable and fast.  Custom announcement designers can be found on ebay- look through the sample designs and you will be able to see the different levels of expertise just by looking at their sample images.  You should expect to have any photo retouching, tinting for free, as well as an e-proof before your final products are printed.  A great designer should be able to take any amateur high resolution photo and create a stellar announcement for you.  Keep in mind that once you have selected a talented designer, your wish for a personalized product that expresses your thoughts and feelings of this joyous occasion is almost granted!

My standard for an exceptional quality, personalized product did not result from my background as a professional graphic designer and artist . . . it was determined by my own feelings of joy & happiness when I announced the births of my two children!  Each time I design an announcement for someone else I have a chance to reflect on that great joy.
