Moo Cards, Bookmarks, and Photo Rope!

February 25, 2009 // Information

So here they are folks! New business cards and fancy bookmarks. I have wanted to get these moo cards for quite a while. I think they are the cat's meow! They are not quite 3 inches long and only 1 inch wide, so I guess they are about half the size of a typical business card. The only drawback is that you can't put your logo on the back. Even still I think they stand out a bit which is good! You can even have a different image for every card if you like. How cool is that? The bookmarks are just a little something to keep your beautiful books from getting dog ears. The front of the bookmark reads "Librarians hate dog ears," flip it over and it reads "but kids love them!" I just delivered some up to the Temecula Public Library, so next time you're in the children's library grab one! The bottom photo was taken from the patio overlooking the sports park. Decent view. ;) I want to give a big shout out to Tami Foto for the sweet bookmark idea. And last but not least the Photojojo Photo Rope. I talked a little about these in the past, but wanted to mention them again. Every time someone comes over to my home they love this display. It's easy to install, to change out photos, and it really looks unique. So there ya are! I hope everyone has a great weekend. :)

Love the bookmark idea! I'm going to have to steal that idea from you. And the photojojo rope rocks (I'll have to steal that idea from you, too)! Talk about organization, Zak! You impress me!

Valerie Schooling:

Oh how fun! Aren't shipments like this like Christmas? We get all excited at our studio and my office manager yells at us for making messes opening boxes (b/c we're that excited, haha!!!)

Freida:

The bookmarks... very clever marketing idea... super adorable!

(03.01.09 @ 05:18 AM)

Jaime H.:

Ooooh, groovy! We're on a moo card! lol I was wondering about that photo rope you use (I may have to grab some)!! Great ideas Zak -- you are one creative dude!

(03.01.09 @ 08:39 PM)

greta, smitten:

the bookmark idea is awesome!!!!! and i want to steal your office and/or photo ropes. that is all.

(03.02.09 @ 10:50 AM)

Lynn:

Everything looks great! We just found a place that prints regular business cards on a paper with a similar feel to the moos. The moos are awesome but they get pricey after awhile. Let me know if you want a link!

(03.05.09 @ 07:43 PM)

Rachael Earl:

Your workspace is so....clean! Holy smokes! I wish mine looked like that!!!!!

(03.10.09 @ 10:18 AM)

Lisette Price:

The bookmark is so cute!!! And I love, love, love your workspace!

Roz Mitchell:

Aren't Moo Cards cool? We've been using those as our cards for a while now, I really love them :) I'm checking out the photorope thing...

A Cowboy In Old Town Temecula

February 22, 2009 // Portraits

A couple weeks ago I met up with Jason for some acting headshots. Jason is a talented theater actor, so I jumped at the chance to hang with him. Our day of the shoot was dreary and rainy, but we made it work, at times ducking under covered walkways to dodge the rain. Kinda makes me want a weather sealed camera body. Speaking of rain...what has happened to our sweet little sunny so cal? As I type it's gloomy and cold. Ummm Mother Nature, can I have my sunny so cal back please? Seattle called and they need you. Okay rant over. I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend. :)

Dreary day, but productive

February 16, 2009 // Information

The last few days have been cold and dry, but today the sky opened and literally dumped massive amounts of water on our quaint little town. I've actually needed some computer time and today provides me with that opportunity. I've been trying to finish my interview for The Bokeh Pot, so maybe I'll get that done today. Have you ever written about yourself? The one thing I've noticed is writing about yourself is harder than I thought. :) So work on the interview, edit a little, email, work on new marketing materials, and check facebook. Check! Speaking of facebook...do you? If you do, I would love for you to be my friend. I started facebooking earlier this year and I can say that it is way fun to connect with old friends, clients, and peers. If you don't have an account no worries, just sign up...it's free. And free in this economy is good!
Click here to be my friend.

Although today is cold and dreary this photo just warmed my heart. I took this Friday at my daughter's school assembly. Jack sure loves his mom.

I'm trying to get it done, but every time I write something I try to make it wittier...is that a word? I hope to finish it this week. Keep your fingers crossed. :)
