Off to the printer!

So, I've had a few requests to see the finished product of my session information trifold brochure. I've been working on it for a while and I finally finished. I'm hoping to get it off to the printer in the next couple days.

A little shout out to my wonderful hubby. I couldn't have done any of it without you and your super, fantastic brain and photoshop skills. I love you, handsome!

Basically, the image you see will eventually look like a 5x5 trifold. I posted the front of each page so you could view it better. Tell me what you think, especially before I send it off to print.

OH my gosh! That looks fantastic!! I love the 5x5 tri-fold idea, too. Are you using a local printer?

Love the look!
Love the pics that you selected for this.

my critical 2 cents:

- Odd that you have who you are, your style and prices on one page, then additional prices on another page. Perhaps those 2 pages go together. If they do go together, you should move the "Call me for details" somewhere else.

- "Call me for details" ... for what? you just gave me your pricing?

- I would move the 3 pics on the 'session scheduled for' page to another page. The session schedule should just be that.

- You might want to put some additional pics on the Clothing Choices/What to Expect page to give them an idea of what to wear and what to bring.

- On the Clothing Choices page: I can't tell since the print is really small .. but it looks like the sentence that starts 'families' isn't capitalized.

- What order will someone be reading these? In what order do you want them to read this?

- Don't really understand what a Portrait Package is? Do I only see them online? What does this get me? If this is truly a Package in the old school sense, then I would put this at the top as you should push people getting a package instead of just a picture or 2.

- I'd put the image copyright at the bottom.

Overall ... pretty sweet!!
Jealous!!

I think it looks great! You did a great job! I love everything about it! I hope this helps promote your business. Have you thought about asking local flower shops to hand them out or to let you display them somewhere....Might be a good season for that with Valentine's coming up.

Very nice input Durbins! I probably am saying some of the same stuff as you but this is what i found after Now here's my input Mel:

~ 'call me for details' seems to me it is probably in regards to the baby package so maybe put it on the same line...? 'Baby's 1st Year Package: $250 - Call me for details!' Also I would capitalize Year since you have Package capitalized, and I think it says '1st' not 'first', right? If first is spelled out just make sure that is capitalized as well.

~ I like the 'your session is scheduled for' and then a spot to fill in the date and time. I would maybe just change it a little...'_____________at______' so they make sure they get both the date and time written down. I think it's a great idea how you put that on their so they have their session info with all your info tips for the session. Also maybe add a line in for where the session is at and not just 'at the location of our choosing'. Then you can add in how they can choose where to have it, and your fees for it, somewhere else - prob right below that. ANd then just move the 'show up on time' paragraph down.

~ I would put the studio address on the very back with your web address and phone # because that is like all the contact info. Also they are not necessarily having their session at your house so i wouldn't put it right there where they are writing the info about their session.

~ i would leave the 'what to bring' where it is at and then just add the 'what to expect' on the same page. so just switch the three photos and the 'what to expect'

~ I would have the session fees with the print prices so all of the price info is together. So you would prob have to make emily's and andy's pics smaller to fit all the pricing on one page but if you make them smaller maybe you can fit pey's pic on their too. I really like the one of her in the hat with her serious face on, sitting in the yellow chair! And if you make those pics smaller then you can make the three pics on other page a little bigger (so not all pics are small), also i think the three pics would then have a little more room (if you switched them like i suggest above) to be enlarged a little.

~ and last thing...If you take the session prices off the first page that frees up room for that pic of the adorable baby to be blown up, and i think you need to blow that pic up, he's adorable!!!

Love it though...glad you are getting everything together for your wonderful photography business!!!
