New Logo for Angie

I created this new look for Angie over at Simplicity Photography. The scroll frame was inspired by a new victorian-esque pendent I recently bought. Just goes to show you there is inspiration in the everyday!

Coming soon | Toppings

I am working on a few sets of "toppings" to add to the Asuka Vanilla templates (or any other projects you want to dress up like storyboards, cards, or blends). Simple color washes, understated dots and petite stripes make up this collection to add just that simple something to any project. Just drag and drop the patterned backgrounds onto your canvas and go! Below is a sneak peek of one collection used on an Asuka Vanilla template. And depending on how adventurous I get, there might be simple phrase brushes or pngs included as well :)

Stay tuned for more info :)

New store in the works

I'm working on installing an online shop for all my products so that you can pay online and download your products right then and there. Its been in the works for awhile now, just haven't had the time to sit down and customize it. It is on my (very long) to do list though! Won't that be cool?

Presenting Mod Baby!

I just couldn't wait another day, I'm so excited to announce the mod baby collection!

My creative streak went into overdrive and I actually produced more templates than I had originally anticipated! So I've split up the line into two collections, the "classic edition" which features traditional baby colors like blues and pinks, and the "funky edition" which is all about bright, beautiful colors. Of course, if you NEED both you can get the combo edition :)

The Classic Edition includes 14 templates in 6 designs (one "boy" and one "girl" version is included of each design plus two extras for multiples). Editable text fonts are not included (fonts used were American Typewriter, Futura, Futura Condensed, Garamond & Times New Roman).




The Funky Edition includes 14 templates in 7 designs (one "boy" and one "girl" version is included of each design). Editable text fonts are not included (fonts used were American Typewriter, Futura, Futura Bold Condensed, Futura Condensed, Garamond, Pharmacy & Times New Roman).



Files are layered PSD a bit larger than 5x7 at 300dpi and made using WHCC's press printed specifications; use them to make photo cards, postcards, and folded greeting cards. Please note that in the Classic Edition one template is made to 5x5 specifications. These templates give you free control to edit text, change colors and even turn off elements that don't work for your project.

Upon payment, please allow 48 hours to receive your templates. To purchase the classic edition or the funky edition for $50 USD please use the corresponding "Buy Now" button to the right. A combo edition is available for $90 USD, savings of $10 USD.

NOTE: You must be able to open and edit .psd files (simple instructions are included for use). Due to the digital nature of this product, there are absolutely no refunds.

A download link will be sent to the email address the payment comes from unless otherwise specified.


Group Buy Info:

I am offering a group buy on ProPhotogs.com Sunday, March 11th through Thursday, March 15th for a group of 10 or more. Group buy price will be for the combo collection, regular price $90, Group Buy price $75. Please make a Pay Pal payment to Taslim AT bringtolightphotography DOT com with "ProPs Baby Group Buy" in the subject line. Once the first ten payments have been accepted, I will send out the templates. After 10 has been reached, I will send templates upon receipt of payment.

Please direct any questions to TaslimSidi AT gmail DOT com

Special thanks to Leilani Smith and Paula Swift for their twins photos that were used in some of the samples. And to Christie Yonce for some kissable parts.

Thanks and have a great day! :)

Currently accepting new clients

Hello all- I'm back ready for 2007 projects!

I have been working through my list and if you have previously emailed me about a project and didn't hear back- please email me again! I seem to be having an overzealous SPAM filter!

I'm providing a link to my updated rates for 2007- please download the current rates as there are changes.

Something fun- I am now offering to place an image rotating script on any splash page I create for you- this means a new photo can load on your splash everytime it is refreshed! What a great easy way to keep your content looking fresh and updated. Please contact me for details :)
