Product Spotlight: Rude Giraffe Hat

This rude giraffe hat definately makes me smile. This animal has attitude but that's okay. My daughter loves animals and we are always reading books about different animals. It's funny when she doesn't know the sound an animal makes because she says in a cute, high pitched voice the animals name twice, ex "giraffe, giraffe".

I cropped this photograph and added a decorative oval border.

If you enjoy this giraffe photograph as much as I do it is available for purchase on giraffe shirts, mugs, framed prints, giraffe hats, magnets and more!

Happy Shopping!

Remember: Smile, shoot, print and you will be happier for it.

Photography t shirts and photographic gifts are available for purchase at Spencer Photos: our online store.

Product Spotlight: Flower Heart T-Shirt

Izzy has a gift coming in the mail. This is one of my favorite designs that I offer at Spencer Photos. It's available in four different colors but I really prefer it in pink. Pink is such a friendly color and it makes me smile. The funny thing is I really didn't care much for pink before I became pregnant with Izzy.

I really enjoyed making this heart t shirt. The design started as a pink rose photograph. I opened it in Microsoft Digital Image Suite and decided to mess around with it. I distorted the image by applying a Kaleidoscope distortion. The effect was this interesting pattern.

After I had the pattern the way that I liked it I then gave it a heart shaped border framed with a pale pink color.

This Heart shaped explosion Infant/Toddler T-Shirt can be purchased at our online store: Spencer Photos. It's also available on t shirts for women and kids as well as a lovely mug.

Cool Coffee Mugs

This mug's design is called Miscolored Flowers. I'll tell you a little bit about how I made this. I took 9 of my very favorite flower photographs and cut them out of their picture using Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006's magic wand tool and the edge finder. Once I had only the flower head left I put them all together in this arrangement.

I converted all the flowers to black and white. You can see what the black and white flowers look like with my field of flowers mug. I then took each flower and adjusted the color balance using different levels of cyan-red, magenta-green, and yellow-blue until I had a color that tickled me. I love having a purple daisy, a blue zinnia and daffodil and just off the wall colors for the flowers. I was really happy with how the zinnias, roses, daffodils and other flowers turned out.

The final thing that I did before applying this floral design to the 3 different mugs was add a quote. Gardeners and nature lovers are sure to appreciate this quote. "Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine to the soul." - Luther Burbank. I love this quote because just thinking about flowers makes me happier, better and more helpful.

Miscolored Flowers Large Mug can be purchased along with several other designs on our mugs. Cool Coffee Mugs is a newer section in my online store: Spencer Photos. I really enjoyed making these mugs. All of the designs in this section was made especially for mugs. We offer three different sizes. The featured image is our large mug. It's a beast of a mug at 15 oz. We also offer a regular sized mug and a stein.

Happy Shopping!
