Adding Butterfly Overlays to your Photographs

The Butterfly Chase

What a wonderful journey it has been creating the series "The Butterfly Chase"

With nearly 12 complete images all composites to depict wild animals and butterflies. It was truly a remarkable series to work on.  I may have to continue this series in the future.

 I really encourage every single one of you to find something that makes you happy and work on it. Don't give up.  There were several times during this series that  I wanted to quit but I did not. 

Here are 3 of my favorites from the series.   The others I will be keeping a secret until this winter when I release all 12 at the same time to the public. 

I had such an amazing time creating this series and so many wonderful people asked me about my process and how I created the pieces that I created a video tutorial on the Butterfly Chase: Bear in the woods.     It is shortened down compared to the original creation but it still shows you nearly every single step I took to create it. 

Below is a Speed Edit to show you what you will learn from the video, or for those who just really love watching speed editing. I know I do.

and that's a Wrap - Photography Resources

I get asked nearly the same question every day.

Where do you get your packaging?
Where do you get your photo boxes?
Where do you get your Usb's?

So I have finally taken the time to blog about those resources.

Please keep in mind that sometimes you may have to order from several companies to complete your overall look in packaging.

In the future I will link some additional blogs about creative packaging but for now I am going to stick to the basics.


My first resource when I started out was really simple. I used Nashville Wraps for almost all of my packaging, they had these great envelope sleeves and I would just slide all my portraits 8x10 and smaller into the 11x14 size bag.  I had smaller bags as well for wallets and would just fold the bag onto itself and seal it with a custom sticker I had made.
 Plus they are Eco Friendly.


My Next resource I stumbled onto as I grew my business (and this one is a biggy because I know very few people are familiar with this company as they start out.)
But
MarathonPress.   This company really changed the way I went about marketing, branding, creating mini session mailers, and they also offer some packaging like Boxes and such. (there are other companies that I order boxes through now though.)  But the 4x6 Post Card Mailers came in SO handy when I was putting customers orders together and would just add a few upcoming mini marathon post cards in there as well.

Now the remaining resources are in no particular order.
I do not prefer or favor one over the other so check each one out and find out which one you prefer the most.
