F.A.Q.

What if I have my own photograph that I would like to use? As long as your photograph was taken by you please feel free to email us the images you would like top use. Please note that if your photograph was taken by a professional photographer we would need their written permission.

Can you stamp on the back? 
The stamping on the front leaves an impression on the back so unfortunately it cannot be done.

Can I have a different photograph on the front and back of my pendant from two different sessions?   Of course you can! All that we need to know are the session dates and the image numbers that you would like to use

Can I have words/dates added to my pendant at a later date?
Of course, as long as there’s room on the pendant to include what you wish to add, and the existing words/dates have not been centered on a circle pendant.  Once multiple words/dates are centered on a circle pendant, you can’t add another name without affecting the centering.

Is there any cost to have additional words/dates added at a later date?
Yes! Add another name or date (room pending) for an additional $15.00. If you are thinking of having more children down the road, keep in mind positioning of your names.

Can I choose upper and lower case letters?
All stamping is done in upper case in the font that you see in the photographs. However, there is a smaller size available. Unless you request otherwise, the larger type is used.

 I don’t think you will be able to fit all of the words that I want to include.  Any suggestions?
Consider using initials or an abbreviated name instead.  A shorter nick is also a popular thing to do!

“Willow’s Whispers” by Lana Button, Illustrated by Tania Howells- Book Launch Party

10-word review: Willow knew what she wanted, but had to find her voice

I had the pleasure of meeting Lana when she came in for a headshot. First of all I LOVED her name! Great for what she does! I was so excited to hear about her book that she would be releasing in the near future. “Willow’s Whispers”. I could not wait to celebrate with her at her book launch party. I took my camera to capture the event. Congratulations Lana!

Kiwi Magazine Review: Everyone assumed that Willow agreed because she never complained and she never said a word. But, Willow wanted to be the line leader. She made a magic microphone out of a tp tube and magically finds her voice and speaks up for herself. When the magic microphone breaks, Willow realizes that she could speak up without any magic. The text is well-written and age-appropriate, and the illustrations are whimsical and appealing. Any child who has a little trouble speaking up for him or herself might just find their own voice with the help of this book.

Here are some images of her party…

Lana Button - Julie, you are a truly gifted person! I can't thank you enough for these unbelievable photos! They are stunning!!
