75th Anniversary of a Family Owned Service Garage
This is my first custom collage and still one of my favorites. In 2003, my client’s dad’s 50th birthday coincided with the 75th anniversary of their family owned service garage. He was the 3rd generation to run the garage. She supplied me with old photos, newspaper articles and ads. She also asked me to come ...
60 Years
This collage will always be one of my favorites. Done for a friend’s grandparents, he literally gave me a box of photos and their wedding album and told me to use whatever I wanted. He was able to get everything and still keep the collage a secret by telling everyone that he was taking it ...
Takin’ a Cruise
I love how colorful this collage turned out; so perfect for a Caribbean cruise! I was contacted by Cherida to do a collage of her cruise with her daughter and her friend and friend’s daughter. She provided me with pictures that were taken by the ship’s photographer as well as pictures that they had taken ...
Birthday Memories
Nothing is more fun than working on a collage that has a great compilation of unique photos and other items. I know that picking photos for a collage can be an overwhelming task, but it’s always a pleasure to work on collages that can easily be put together to show a passage of time. This ...
Girls’ Softball
What do you get seniors when they graduate? This is a fantastic example of how you can show off all the efforts and members of a high school team and give them something they can hold on to for a lifetime. Created for a military school in Georgia, this 16 x 20 collage was created ...
Not your ordinary Christmas card
I had never done a Christmas card collage before this one, and I think this is a fantastic idea. Rather than sending out a Christmas letter that tells everyone what they had done that year, this family sends out a handmade card that uses a photo from one of the big moments of the year. ...
Custom M&M’s
Awesome photography is one of the key parts of having a custom collage turn out well. Part of that is having diverse photos. I loved how they included photos of signage at the wedding, the cake and the custom M&M’s that they gave out as favors. Toss in the invitation and the program for the ...
Going Away Gift
Created as a going away gift for a manager at Medtronic, this collage includes team pictures and photos of projects and equipment that had been an integral part of the manager’s time with Medtronic.
Seminar Program
This collage was created for the University of Minnesota Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women’s Health and the Department of Continuing Medical Education. Every fall they hold a seminar where medical professionals from around the world are invited to discuss new developments in their field. 2009 was their 40th year of holding this seminar and ...
Parade Proposal
The amount of thought that the bride’s friend Judy put into this collage still amazes me. When she gave me a call, she told me she wanted to have a collage done of her friend’s wedding. The couple had met in Montgomery, Minnesota and the husband-t0-be proposed at a local parade. Judy had collected photos ...
