haute packets
We’re excited to have another photographer packaging feature / guest post here at Paperie Boutique!
Please welcome Sarah of Parisi Images – don’t forget to visit her blog for additional images and vendor resources for the products shown below!
Since starting my photography business in 2007, I have worked hard at honing my brand into one that is both timeless and versatile. It has always been important to me that my branding allow my images to speak for themselves, giving the photographs center attention and not the design. Similarly, it’s been important that the branding emphasize the story-telling approach I take when photographing weddings.When designing my identity system (I am a professional designer as well as photographer), I took cues from the design and layout of old newspapers, magazines (namely Life) and advertisements. This meant that I kept my color palette to the simple combination of black, white and kraft. Over time, as I added more pieces – namely the 8×8 brochure booklet – I included additional colors pulled directly from my images—colors like navy, burnt orange, magenta and deep kelly green.
Perhaps the two most important pieces in my branding so far are the kraft folders and the 8×8 12-page informational brochure booklet. The kraft folders (folders from Paper Presentation and letterpress logo printed by Cranky Pressman) offer me a great way to provide prospective and current clients with packets of information as well as giving me an easy-to-ship way to package fine art prints. The informational brochure/booklet is meant to be a stand-out piece that I mail to any bride who inquires about my services.
Other items in my identity system pieces include a square 2×2 business card on kraft paper, an A2 flat card I use to write handwritten notes of all sorts (I intentionally decided to make a generic card so that I could use them for all occasions), custom post-it notes and, of course, logo stickers and shipping labels.

pretty in pink
Just in case you’ve missed the announcements on Paperie’s Facebook and Twitter accounts… I recently turned in my last (June 2013) column at Professional Photographer Magazine! Starting with the July 2013 issue, I will no longer be appearing there as a Contributing Editor / freelance writer.
If you normally write me at my ppa.com e-mail address, please change your address books to “robyn AT paperieboutique DOT com” – after this Friday, April 19th, my ppa.com account will no longer be active!
I started writing at Professional Photographer in June 2010, and writing for their Web Exclusives as well in June 2011. It’s been an amazing run! I cannot thank my former Director, Cameron Bishopp Davis (now Editor in Chief for CLICK Magazine by our sponsor Clickin Moms), enough for giving me my start in June 2010, and for all of the amazing opportunities that have followed. The June 2013 issue will mark three years in every issue from 6/10 to 6/13 – and that’s an accomplishment I am very proud of!
But now … it’s time to start on my new future at 40, and I can’t wait! – Robyn
We’ve put together some of our favorite pink packaging examples from Pinterest. Below this collage (which you can click on to view larger) are links to view each image’s original source online.

I’ve taken three of my most popular magazine columns – “client gift ideas for photographers” – and put them all together on one Pinterest board!
I also have a new pinboard with my “stylish camera bag reviews“, and another board full of all “my product reviews” and photography posted on the ppa.com pinboards.
And of course there’s also Paperie’s “packaging, presentation, and organization” pinboard! We’d love to have you follow us there!
Last but not least…we have some prizes to give away! Artsy Couture is giving two Paperie readers $100 gift certificates! The winners are Stefanie Tolbert and Kisha Buis Photography!
Congrats to both winners! We’ll be in touch by the end of the week with information on how to collect your prize. And thank you SO MUCH to our sponsor Artsy Couture for the amazing prizes!

Fine. Art.
Recently Artsy Couture launched their new Artsy Pro Prints line. We were so excited to be able to make test prints and do a review, and now offer our Paperie readers two $100 gift certificates for Artsy Pro Prints!

Bamboo mounting options are on the way. Bordered options (black and white) are also available.
Turn-around time (not including shipping) is 1-2 business days. All orders over $75.00 include free ground shipping (excluding drop-shipping). Artsy offers unbranded drop-shipping straight to your customers for $4.95.

We were extremely pleased with the quality and color / clarity / sharpness of our prints. We did no color-calibration in advance of our order, and everything printed perfectly and color-true. It was extremely easy to add (optional) borders in ROES.
Our order arrived with the packaged prints inside plastic sleeves, all secured safely to the shipping box with tape and cardboard.
