Client Q&A with Denise
Archive Post
This post is part of the Marmalade Photography archive. We sincerely apologize - some images from our pre-2011 content were lost during a site migration and we have been unable to recover them. The writing and memories remain, and we are grateful you found your way here.
One of my passions is…paper! (who knew?) Our recent session with Denises’ little girl, K uncovered some interesting information about Denise…she’s a paperholic as well! Who better to explore the world of stationary than a fellow paperphile…(however to be honest, I think Denise beats me hands down! You should see the stationary that her toddler possesses! It’s truly enviable!)
Without further adieu…welcome to our Q&A with Denise (and some images from the session with K). Thanks Denise!
………
Is paper a passion or just a hobby for you? Do you remember the moment in which the realization of “wow, I love this paper stuff” came into being for you?
Wow, hard question… More than a hobby and less than an obsession. Does that answer it?? (And) at the risk of looking like a total geek, I was 16. Yes, should have been into boys and clothing…. I was working in a department store Notions department [did I just date myself??] and they transferred me to Stationary. I was hooked immediately. Started with just holiday cards and then went from there… in fact I stopped working there in college and just used up my last purchase recently.
Do you have a favorite paper type? Paper source?
Nope (paper type)… Many (paper sources). Will list below.
Do you scrapbook?
DLP: I wish I had the time. Have explored digital scrapbooking and think I may be able to do that. Archivers has some lovely paper though… �
Your daughter, Miss K had the most adorable stationary that you mailed me a thank you note on (btw THANK YOU for the thank you!!), Do you mind sharing WHERE you bought such great girly girl stationary?
DLP: Aw thanks. One of my 1st purchases after she was born was stationary. That one came from Merrimade – also love Neiman Marcus, Exposures [great frames and albums there too] and OF COURSE Crane. Papyrus in Oakbrook and Woodfield is a wonderful source of good stuff too.
You ordered a large canvas of your gorgeous daughter; are you happy with the image quality and reproduction on such a large piece?
DLP: We LOVE it. It is being framed now and I can’t wait to get it on the wall. The level of detail is amazing – right down to a bug – which the framer thought was REAL. Why did you order that image large vs. any others from your session? DLP: We were looking for a image to go into a space on our walls that has been open for 3 years. It needed something BIG and special. This is perfect for it. In this age of digital, I can ‘do’ smaller images myself sometimes – we looked to your eye to capture something that would warrant BIG.
Do you feel that there was an appropriate capture of Miss K at this time in her life by Marmalade Photography?
DLP: Yes. Even though I know she was a very challenging subject…. I think her spirit is visible in all the images. If I won the lottery, I’d have bought them all.
On a related side note, I think Denise spends a great deal of time trying to figure out WHAT sort of Holiday Card she’ll be sending to friends & family each year. This year, Denise is opting to send a 4×6 print of this from K’s session. It’s lovely, printed with a small white border around is the absolute perfect add on for Holiday Cards this year…not sure if we mentioned it but K was a (very) busy girl, reminding me oh so much of my first child 😉 I honestly think Denise was thinking: “got a good shot, let’s roll with it!” this year. Goodness knows the Holiday Card battle for THE shot hasn’t even happened here, I’m a bit envious that Denise is done with that already!!
Thanks for stopping by and hanging out for a bit. ‘Til we meet again!
