All of c.m.h. imaging’s photo greeting cards are custom designed in house. But, to help people out with the design process I have come up with a few templates that I think look pretty good. When ordering cards you can refer to the template gallery (it will be updated sporadically when new templates are completed) for ideas or to decide on a design. As I said, all of the designs are done by hand so any modification you want is possible. So, if you like the layout of one template, the font of another and the color scheme from a third, that is not a problem. Just about anything about the design can be changed to meet your needs, including text. Just tell me what you want and I will do a proof for you to make sure that it meets your expectations.

Take a look at the gallery here: Holiday Card template gallery

When ordering cards also remember to choose between Smooth, Watercolor and Linen for the paper.

Thanks,

c.m.h. imaging is gearing up for a major project. The final result of this project will be a 20 page book/portfolio. We are looking for a single female model, age 20-30, interested in working TFP. This portfolio will require 3-4 days of shooting, mostly at our Dexter studio. The portfolio will require great versatility from the model, but in turn the final result will showcase that same quality. Compensation will be a copy of the final book as well as select images as digital files for your online portfolio. This is a great opportunity for an aspiring model, at the end of the project you will have an entire portfolio ready to show clients. If you are interested please contact me at chad@cmhimaging.com.

The eyes are one of the most important aspects of any portrait. There are lots of different techniques for brighting and whitening eyes, some of them are easier than others, and some are more effective than others. Here I will show a technique I use on many portraits that is very simple and can be very realistic. It can add drama and contrast to the eyes, without making them look pure white and fake (like in most magazines these days). It is easy to do, even for photoshop beginers and can make a very big improvement in a wide range of photographs. I hope you like it:
