I’ve actually been remembering to take photos of products as I receive them for clients (and sometimes myself! tee hee) so I thought I’d post a few to show!
Message me today if you’d like to learn more about the prints and products and to book a session for YOUR family! melissa@zimsphoto.com
First up: Some products from Miss Taylor’s Grad Session.
Clockwise from top left:
Rep Cards – Fun new product that helps grads stay in touch after school ends!
Packaging – The beautiful packaging your prints and products come in (finished with tissue paper inside)
Cards – Front & Back of a Press Printed Thank You Card, totally custom designed
Book – 5×5, charcoal leather press printed book, open to show the hinged pages (they lay right flat, too!)
Book – Front Cover
Card – Large Image
And this is my new 20×24 Gallery Wrap! I’m in love with it — almost. After seeing it on the wall, I wish I had gotten it nearly twice as big. You just don’t realize how small they look until they’re on the wall! (I know, I know.) But it’s still manufactured beautifully and with a few additions, it now has a special place on our wall.
(Sorry for the crappy photo of the Gallery Wrap)

I’ve just finished up the last of my 2010 graduates and have sent the gallery off to the last fabulous grad and her momma! This grad is such a stunning beauty that I couldn’t contain my awe! I think my husband was starting to get tired of hearing “oh my gosh, she’s so gorgeous!” and “you HAVE to look at this! look at her eyes! her hair! omg!”
I loved Jenna’s session so much that I decided to re-instate the ‘featured’ gallery on the website. It’s something I haven’t had for a while and there were just so many photos of Jenna that I wanted to share, I thought it was time to bring it back. Go check out a mini-gallery of this amazing young lady: www.zimsphoto.com
On a completely different note (with no good way to lead into it); I’ve decided that ‘sneak peeks’ have gotten a wee bit out of control lately and I will be [trying] to go back to just one or two shots from each session! It WILL be difficult for me as I just love showing off my beautiful clients so much!
On THAT note, here’s my favourite shot of Jenna:

I have been blessed with the most gorgeous grads this year! Monday I hung out with Jenna for the afternoon and had a ton of fun trying out new locations! She was such a blast to hang out with, so willing to try whatever I suggested and oh-so-beautiful! (Perhaps I’m a tad biased as a I’m a sucker for a red head but who cares! lol)
The ZP Family is off to Vancouver tomorrow and I’m not packed nor is my house in order. However, I just had to take a look at some of Jenna’s photos and get a sneak peak up. I’m SO glad I did — I’m super happy with the way the entire session turned out!
If you’re looking for a beautiful hair & make up look, check out Janel and her team at Sage Hair Studio & Spa on Facebook! Without further ado:

Yesterday was Part II of Brett’s Graduation Package — the Casual Session. (Check out the Formal Session)
I spent the afternoon hanging out with Brett and his gorgeous girlfriend, Courtney. I know Courtney and her family from years of participation in the performing arts and it was really great to see her again before she goes off to college!
I took these two to a few out-of-the-ordinary locations and they were so awesome about it! Take a look at these two good lookin’ graduates!

Last weekend was Stettler Grad and I had the pleasure of photographing two awesome graduates! In the morning I hung out with Brett and the afternoon was a date with Taylor!
Now, I’ve known Taylor for a very long time as they attend the same church as my family (I even babysat her & her brother once or twice!) but I hadn’t seen Taylor in a few years. I expected the sweet, blonde, 12 year old little girl that I remember to walk into our first location. When this tall, GORGEOUS, dark haired beauty said “Hey Melissa!” I was shocked!
I had so. much. fun with this session and found a new favourite location! I got a ton of great shots and had a hard time choosing between them so this is not a small sneak peek! lol
Thank you so much to both my grads and their families. Special thank you to Taylor’s mom who has been so patient waiting for these sneak peeks!

Graduation, May 29, 2010; SNOW! Not the greatest day for graduation photos! However, with a little creative and some fun, very willing clients, we got some fantastic shots!
My first graduate was a friend of the Zimmermann Photography family, Brett! In my pre-mom, pre-photographer job as a legal assistant, I worked with Brett’s mom and once upon a time ago, Brett’s dad worked with my husband, Kyle! It was fantastic to be a witness to the end of one journey for Brett and the beginning of another!
Here are some sneak peeks of Brett with his family, including his sister Katelyn and her boyfriend (another graduate), Justin!

Yesterday I went location scouting and was blessed to have two wonderful models; sisters Kristi & Teri! If you’ve been an avid blog follower, you’ll recognize both these women from their family session last summer and now you’ll know why little Miss Leighton is such a doll… this is her mom and auntie! Good looks run in the family!

What a great day! Sarah and I headed out to the Q14 Grad and Wedding Show at the Community Hall today and had a fantastic time! We met a lot of beautiful brides, excited grades and fantastic vendors! We hope many of those brides and grades have headed straight home to check out the site and to help them along in their quest to find custom photography, we’ve decided to extend our Show Special:
Book your Grad or Wedding Package
before January 24, 2010
and Receive 25% Off the Package Price!
Don’t forget our current ongoing specials:
AND (yes, there’s more) since we didn’t have a draw at the Grad and Wedding Show, we’ve decided to offer a contest specifically to our readers!
Comment on this blog post letting us know the thing you’re most excited for about your Graduation or Wedding! Then, on January 24 we’ll randomly draw for a FREE Pre-Grad Casual Session or Engagement Session, whichever applies to you!
Tomorrow, I’ll post more about some of the great vendors we met. Until then, here’s a look at our Booth (and the terrible “before” we had to work with).
.the "Before".
.the "After".
