Matt Ramos Photography – Blog

Christmas (and the holidays) are always such a special time, and no matter how old you get, Christmas Eve seems to make you feel a bit like a kid all over again in some ways. I’m a bit behind on my blog updates as of late, but wanted to drop a quick line to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas this year. Spending your first holiday season with your new spouse is a really cool feeling, and I hope all the newly married couples of 2007 enjoy it….. these are the memories you’ll cherrish most in 20-30 years from now :)

P.S. I’ll keep ya posted on whether or not I get that Red Rider BB gun I’ve been wanting…. I leave you with a few shots of our tree this year!

This is what I woke up to this morning in the back yard (no, I didn’t sleep there, but you know what I mean – lol). It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas around here :)

P.S. Lesson of the week: Let’s just say you have a leaking roof from ice build up (hypathetically) – it’s always a good idea to not forget about this over the summer to prevent it from happening again the following year. Stay tuned for more stupidity and life lessons…. it’s going to be a very expensive week!

It’s 2:30am, and I’m having yet another one of those nights where I can’t sleep to save my life and my mind is racing (oh the joys of being ADHD!) I’ve kept it quiet until now, but have been working on a new website and extension of our business that I’m very excited to announce! It’s funny how ideas can sometimes come to you in dreams – most of them are just passing thoughts, and rarely do they become a reality (at least for me).

We obviously, do quite a bit of album designing for clients as a part of our business, and during a nap I had a dream about a great business idea (I know I’m weird, trust me). This was two days ago, and I immediately began to get the wheels in motion and impliment something that I think is not only very exciting, but also a service that many can take advantage of.

“Ramos Designs” is 100% dedicated to designing custom fine art, and/or luxury albums for couples (or families for that matter), that would like to have a custom album designed and built for them from their digital photos. Many photographers don’t include wedding albums as a standard with their packages (we do! ), and maybe the couple didn’t have the money or the patience to worry about it at the time of the wedding. As a few years pass people often regret not getting something special like that, and then it’s simply too late for the most part to have something professional done – this is where we come in :)

The cool thing about this new adventure is not only being able to service clients from around the country that maybe we didn’t have the opportunity to work with on their wedding day, but to also be able to provide these service to other photographers needing help designing albums for clients, etc. (trust me, it’s a lot of work!!) We offer some absolutely amazing albums, and we are offering free designs and edit sessions included with all album purchases to ensure 110% satisfaction.

I’m still finalizing the site, but as usual, was too impatient to share this with you. While this service will clearly be catered towards wedding albums, we will also be designing various other types of albums as we have in the past such as: baby albums, families, corporate albums, etc. If you know anyone that may be able to take advantage of this service, you can tell them they now have an option to consider! :)

P.S. Congrats to Rebekah DeMassio for making the cut as the website “covergirl!”

We received a Graphi-Studio album set (Master & 2 Parent) today for Alex & Maria, and was so pleased with how amazing they look, I just had to post a photo! I only took a shot of the outside of them, but the entire album, inside and out, is just incredble. For those deciding what album(s) they’d like to get come wedding time, I can’t emphasize enough, how amazing the Graphi-Studio line is…. they can be done in Leather, Silk, Metal, Mirror Polish, or Transparent Fiberglass like the ones you see here – We have several available to show for anyone interested.

P.S. We are also getting into album designing even for those who’s wedding we did not shoot. If you know someone who got married, didn’t get an album, but has their original files, you can let em’ know! :)
