A storyboard for a greeting card.
Our family sends out Easter cards instead of Christmas cards. Here is our card from last year - I also have this printed as a large storyboard for my wall. I love combining images into one print!

In an effort to post a few more storyboards, and to be a better blogger - I want to tell you about a wonderful local find for kids. I discovered4Cats Arts Studio while looking for a Vincent Van Gogh art class for my kids. This art studio focusses on hands-on art education for little ones ages 2-15.



The five day class was enjoyed by each of my children (they were 5, 7 and 9). The studio was in a great location, and was attractive, orderly and interesting. The participants heard stories about Van Gogh, examined his work, and studied about his style by creating their own art using Van Gogh's techniques. They produced a silk-screened tote bag, a charming watercolour self-portrait (using the basics of portraiture), a canvas painting (based on Van Gogh's Sunflowers), and a textured acrylic painting a la Van Gogh's Starry Night.
The teachers were engaging and patient, and my kids were eager to go back every day. The kids were very interested in 4Cats' other offerings, including the stop animation Star Wars class.

4Cats has just released their Holiday/Winter schedule. Go go go check it out!

Bad blogger! Bad blogger!

A client asked me ever so nicely about storyboards - so I've been looking around my archives for examples. Here is a favorite one from this summer - this is a 10x20" storyboard featuring snippets from 7 images.


The images were taken on Dunbar Street in Vancouver - the kids and I had a busy week swirling around this area during our lovely summer. I can't wait to write about it!

Have you seen our storyboards?

One thing that I love about my work is that I have the opportunity to create art for your home.

When I photograph young children, I take many images in sequence because little ones can have so many different facial expressions within a few seconds. Sometimes a grouping of a series of images tells a story of that moment in a more powerful way than with only one.

A product we offer, called storyboards, allows you to choose a grouping or series of images and put them together one one print.

Here is a 10X25 storyboard of a little one playing dolls:


Other times, my client and I make a great connection and there are dozens of great images to choose from.

A storyboard allows you to have a group of your favorite in a fun presentation.This is the sweet sixteen - a group of fifteen images plus a word or phrase that describes the subject. I usually print it as a 20x20, but it can also be printed 12x12.


Here is a 3 on 3 - six images stacked together, also available as a 12x12 or 20x20.


All our storyboards are mounted, ready to be balanced on a shelf, hung with ribbon, or framed.
