New Children & Family Portrait Site

Oh, I am so excited!! Our brand new kids photography website launched today, and you can check it out at Mill Cottage Kids.com, and I know I promised a contest... as you watch the slideshow on the home page, the last slide before it re-starts doesn't have an image on it, just a graphic and some words. The first 5 people to tell me what 1970's pop culture reference that slide is inspired by will get a complimentary family session!!! (some restrictions apply - see fine print below) Use the contact form on the website, or email me directly at kim@millcottagephoto.com to submit your guess! You must include your contact information (name, email, address, phone number) with your guess so we can notify you if you are among the winners. Other random prizes will be awarded to runners up with the correct answer, so don't hesitate to enter, even if you think we have already chosen our 5 Grand Prize Winners!!!

Please forward the link to all your friends and family that might know some people who are looking for excellent quality lifestyle photography of their families or children. Mill Cottage Kids and Mill Cottage Photography are always committed to providing beautiful imagery that shows not just how we look but who we are!! We aim to have fun, and offer studio and location portrait photography, corporate headshots, wedding photography, commercial photography and more!
Get Happy!! and welcome to the family!

Time Saving Photography Workflow Tools - Mike D

Ok, y'all... let me share with you a real timesaver for me in my workflow... I was on the early beta team for Mike D's Proofmaker Script, and it has saved me literally months of time in the past few years. He has just come out with Version 3, and it's better than ever!!! You can find all the information on his website: http://www.photoshoptools.ca/, and this will be one of the tools you never knew how you lived without... want to re-size, border and brand your images for your blog? done! Create custom sized web images to upload to your website galleries in record time? done! Create bordered proof prints for your clients with the image number and your copyright information on it? done! Seriously, I can't say enough!

Be sure to check out his other products too - sloppy borders and Autoloader (which is another script that has saved me hours of time while processing a group of images in Photoshop!)

Let Mike know you saw it here!

What will you do with all the time you are going to save?
