hello, world!

Today we are beginning an exciting new adventure and hope you'll come along for the ride! We're Amy and Julie, the designers here at Pictures Made Personal, and we both love playing around with photos to create all sorts of things. Instead of just making things for ourselves, we want to extend the invitation to you and hope that we can help you out with your photo needs. We have three basic specialities:

PHOTO ENHANCEMENT: This involves simple things that make your photos look their best, like red-eye, scratch, and blemish removal, brightness/contrast adjustment, skin smoothing, sharpening and/or softening, and other "quick fixes" that we see would improve the quality of your photo. It can also involve changing your photos to black and white or sepia toning, adding simple text, and adding edges/frames.
$10 for first photo, $5 for each additional photo





INVITATIONS, CARDS, AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: Need invitations for a birthday or anniversary party? Want a personal way to introduce that special someone or announce your marriage? What about personalized thank-you's, or Christmas cards that really reflect your family's interests and personalities? We custom design the invitation or announcement you need using a variety of colors, themes, and layouts. We send you the digital file, ready for printing, and you can either print it at home or take it to a photo processing center to get your paper copies. All you need to send us is the photo[s] you want us to use; we'll touch them up and make something you'll love to send to your family and friends.
$25 for existing design with your photo and info inserted, $35 for custom design


SIGGIES: Siggies are a collage-type combination of photos, graphics, and text. They can be a lot like digital scrapbooking, and can be printed or used digitally on your websites, blogs, and myspace/facebook etc. You provide the photos and give us an idea of text/themes you'd like, and we'll make you something one-of-a-kind.
Prices starting at $25, depending on design and customization desired
*Some sample siggies contain graphics that are not liscenced for commercial use. These samples were created legally, for personal use only. Those particular embellishments and papers will not be used in products created for customers; they are just to show samples of our work.


You'll notice our portfolio in the right-hand sidebar. It's divided into the same three categories for simple viewing. Please take a look! We've displayed just a small sampling of our work to give you some ideas. Your custom request can be based on what you see in the galleries; just tell us what you liked and we'll use your photos to make something similar. We can change colors, themes, and layouts to meet your needs. For example, until Julie's little girl arrives, most of our baby samples are very 'boy-ish' but we can certainly make something appropriate for your little lady! If you have a different idea, we'll see what we can do to make it happen. Since every project is unique, pricing varies depending on the nature of the request. Please contact us at picturesmadepersonal@gmail.com to find out more about the project you have in mind. Submitting photos to us guarantees that you have the right to distribute and use those photos. All finished products will be sent to you in high-quality digital form, ready for you to email, post, print or take to your local photo processing center. Thanks for stopping by; hope we can make you something you and your family will love.
