Custom Photo Cards

I knew after I had the shoot with adorable Mia that her Mom was going to have a tough time choosing the final images. So we did a very special project that I wanted to share: custom photo cards! She got four sets of 16 different poses of watercolor printed art cards to give as gifts to her family. I really loved how they turned out, and Mia's mom did too! Here's a quick snapshot:

Printed on watercolor paper then hand-torn for the deckle edge look. The notecards pictured are a metallic gold, and come with matching envelopes. A great gift!

Monica McGivern - One Life Photos

Here's a link to a photo competition I entered. Why not try? It's only ten dollars for a one in a million chance to win $25,000. And if I don't win the money at least I got created a few new images in preparation for it! Click the link to see one of my latest self-portaits, shot for this competition:

For the Designers/Photogs in My Life...

Does anyone else envision the world in PSD? I remember going outside after breaking from a long editing session one day and thinking the sky's midtones needed to be punched up a bit. Here's a cute video for those of you whose glasses are shades of Photoshop:
