The holiday’s are just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about those holiday cards! In years past, I have enjoyed working with clients to create custom designed cards. While I love designing, this year we are pleased to be working with the good people over at Minted. We have hand picked some of our favorite designs which can be found at our Minted Storefront here.

Minted is a San Francisco based online store that offers fresh and modern holiday cards and birth announcements. They work with some of the most talented independent designers out there to bring you a wide selection of cards  sure to compliment your family photographs and personal design aesthetic. I am such a fan of their simple clean designs and pops of bold color.

Minted is currently offering a fantastic promotion for 20% off all Holiday Photo Cards through Monday, October 11th. You can even buy now and send in your photos later!! How awesome is that?? Please be sure to place your order through the Bug and Bean Minted Storefront. Fancy a design that is not included in our storefront? Please let us know and we will be sure to add it!

Holiday cards don’t have to be stressful!

We are so thankful for all of the wonderful new families that we had the pleasure of photographing as well as all of our returning families-such a treat! All of your support and incredible word of mouth helped name us The Best Family Photographer in San Francisco and Sacramento by Nickelodeon’s Parent Connect as well as one of the Top 5 Baby Photographers in the Bay Area by the Golden Gate Mother’s Group. What an honor! Thank you so much!

Look out for some upcoming announcements in 2010. We are working hard on building a brand new website, blog and wedding brand. We will be sending out a monthly newsletter highlighting Bug and Bean news, promotions, products and featured sessions. Be sure to sign up under the LINKS- newsletter tab. We’re swirling with new ideas and inspirations for 2010!
