cards cards cards!!!!!!

since I'm still working on the new site and the new year is here I will post the new single cards available here for now. I've listened to numerous photographers express the desire for single templates as sometimes there is a certain one you want without all the others in a set so to please those that asked: $10 each and downloadable. Paypal to jessica@jessicadittmerphotography.com and type in the name of each one you would like. They are layered for image placement via clipping mask and customize as needed. 5x7 300dpi. Rich in dimension and texture.

Senior book for Gals!

After the Road Ahead book released there were many requests for a girly senior book...one that had that fun grungy feel but still a bit feminine. So, here it is:
Her Turn to Fly is a 10x10 20pg asuka template just like the other senior book (use with other printers too!) click to see larger. $75

Aged Photo Overlays/edges

Eight available so far! These are layered psd files set up for 5x7 images but size up and down nicely upon testing. 300dpi. Grouped layers, use clipping mask to place image within the frame layers. Adds texture, dimension, age and some have a border/photo edge too! Comes as shown with shadow. $10 each. My own new favs.!

Love Birds 2008 Weddings Book

The release of the new wedding book came early for those wanting to take advantage of the book/album sample sales going on right now on many photog forums. This is a HUGE book. It's 1.5GB and right now comes on DVD only-will be online in the new year. 10x10 asuka 40page ex-lam layered psd templates. Can be used with other printers as well! So many image spaces and possibilities! Since it is a vanilla color scheme it is a great jumping off base to customize to your bride's colors each time! Move/remove image areas, frames, quotes,etc...if needed since it's layered. All old english grammar and spelling in the poems since they are old poetry please note! Pages for full page images and double spreads too! You can almost feel the texture by the look, it's very dimensional and romantic. Think "aged beauty" classic, shabby chic....this book is all that.
This was a lot of work but so worth it!
Paypal to jessica@jessicadittmerphotography.com This book is $150.

ICE STORM IN IOWA!!!!!!!

WOW WOW WOW! I wish I could go out and shoot this all day, it's beautiful but dangerous! We lost a lot of big tree branches and several hit the house (one slid on the roof from the back of the house to the front missing my van by a foot!) Welcome Winter!











and later in the day:

NEW BOOK FOR 2008!!!!!!!!!!

New Senior book
"The Road Ahead Book".

Still holding onto the new wedding one but it won't be long! Only fair after all the teasing to release one of the 2008 designs a bit early. Now, this is a large book that will be in three downloads that still are good size. So, if you can't withstand downloads of 300mb or so then ask for it on cd/dvd and pay the extra $7 for me to ship it priority for you all backed up and ready for the new year.

What's esp. fun about this book? I made every sign and license plate in photoshop from scratch and it was a blast! I'd never made license plates in photoshop before. They are correct in design as I had vintage ones to go by. The horseshoe was fun to make too, my sister needed one so I thought I'd add it in here too. "for luck". Grunge, metal, rust and muscle come to mind with this design. TEXTURE IN THIS BOOK IS SO WONDERFUL!!!! Closeup added to show some of the dimension in this book.
This is a 10x10 20page ex-laminate asuka book but can be used for many other printers (I use aci lab myself). Spots for at least 31 images as it comes laid out. Dimension added to each photo frame, background and accent piece. Places to add name, year, school, stats and extras. Great colors that both the gals and guys will love. Perfect layout for guys. Add alt. pages that are more feminine for a girl book-esp. if you have other books of mine *wink*. $100
(remember if you are a designer or template seller you MAY NOT purchase my designs. Thanks!)Click to see larger:

The rumors are true! New wedding book!

Will release in the beginning of the new year with the new site. This book is BIG (the file size is huge) but I think everyone will LOVE it!!!!!!!!! Am I teasing? LOL!

More in the matted panel look. 16x20 collage panel 300dpi with image boxes that are all layerd and can be moved/removed,etc... family name "plaque" at the bottom. Guides on there to assist in any layout changes. Tree artwork by my sister, artist Jennifer Stiles. It's one that looks embossed on the background.

simple and elegant BLACK MATTED PANELS
