I've found a great supplier for frames! You can order directly from the website, and it's so easy to do! You browse through the photos and you select your options, purchase, and voila! Soon it will arrive on your doorstep. There is now a banner on the right side of my blog, where you can scroll through the different images. You can click right on it and it will take you directly to the page where you can choose your options and purchase your prints. Or, click on this link and get to the same place.
Also available now are greeting cards! Cards come in folded 5x7's with envelope, printed right onto high-quality cardstock. These are available in ones, or packages of 10 or 25. The other size is a 4x8, and these are flat cards. They are great for things like Christmas mailers, other holidays, or invitations. They are almost like a postcard, but they are longer. These are printed on high-quality photo paper. Just go to my SmugMug site, find a photo you want to turn into a card, and click the "Buy" button at the top of the photo. You will see an option to "Create a card" - follow the instructions on the page, and there you have it!
As always, if you need help deciding on options, or you really don't know what to do or how to do it - you just know you want a framed image or a canvas print! I'm always here to assist. Send me an email and let me know what you are looking for - we'll build your order together.

Matted Prints
Matted prints are now available and can be purchased by selecting the options and pressing the Buy Now button at the bottom of my blog. 3 sizes available, 4 standard colour options, and custom orders are available!
You can also order by sending me an email and specifying the photo, size, and colour of your matte(s). I will then send you an invoice via PayPal, which you can use to purchase your order. Once that is done, the order will be processed and sent to you. * This is a better option if you wish to purchase more than one matte.
Sizes available is the size of the actual matte. The window will show the photo, which is attached to the back of the matte. All are double mattes for a more impressive effect.
Approximate sizes of the windows: 5x7" mattes will show approximately a 4x6" photo; 8x10" mattes will show approximately a 5x7" photo; 11x14" matte will show approximately an 8x10" photo.
Photo options are available from the Nature's Footprints or the Random Shots galleries on my SmugMug site. Click on http://www.murchiesphotography.smugmug.com/ and choose your photo. In the options at the bottom of my Blog page, there is an area for you to specify what photo you would like to have matted; you can either tell me the name of the photo or copy and paste the link of the photo. To do this, click on the website above, go to the gallery it's in, and click on the actual photo thumbnail on the left hand side. When it appears larger on the right hand side, the link will specify that photo; copy the address (link) from the address bar in your web browser, and paste the link in the text field at the bottom of this Blog. (It's way easier than it sounds!)
Matted photos are suitable for framing. Custom framing orders are available through me as well, but this is a great option if you have some extra frames laying around that you want to fill with beautiful matted photos!
A wide selection of matted images will be available for purchase at the Reading Room Cafe during the month of November (and at other times!). If you're in the Sooke area during that time, check out the canvas prints and thinwraps on the wall (also available for purchase) and the little wicker basket full (on the fireplace ledge) of matted photos, greeting cards, and a copy of my coffee table book (with ordering info on the inside cover).

It's Official: See My Images at the Reading Room on November 1st!
The date has been set! For the month of November (and likely future months), anyone in the area who goes to the Reading Room Cafe here in Sooke will be able to see some of my images posted on the walls! These prints are for sale as well! It saves you the waiting time of ordering them from the internet, and it also allows you to see what they look like in person before purchasing them. Images will be on canvas and thinwrap styles.
There will also be a small wicker basket holding a bunch of matted prints that will be for sale. Greeting cards will hopefully be available soon, also. One of my coffee table books will also be in the basket, which will be available to view; it will have ordering information tucked on the inside, but please don't remove it from the store if you happen to be there and are looking through it! It allows everyone to have a peek at it in person and provides something nice to look at whilst sipping your coffee or tea. :)
If this all goes over well, I will select additional months to showcase my images. Even though I've chosen to go with canvas and thinwraps this time around, I may think about hanging framed prints in the future if there are a lot of people who prefer frames.
November will probably be rainy, like any other November here on the island, so it's the perfect time to curl up in front of the fireplace in the Reading Room in one of the comfy leather chairs, have a cup of coffee or tea, and take a look at the photo book and matted prints available!
Enjoy! And please feel free to give me your feedback at murchiesphotography@gmail.com!

My First Published Copy of Nature's Footprints!
Hello all! Today I received my first published copy of my Nature's Footprints coffee table book! I must say, I am impressed! The quality is fantastic, and it looks amazing! Very pleased! :) See a preview of it below!
There are 2 types of hard covers available. One is the imagewrap, where images are wrapped right around the cover; they ARE the cover. The other is the dust cover, which is the glossy paper-type of thing that loosely wraps the actual hard cover. These can be nice, but they do tend to get worn out, ripped and tattered over time. The only difference is that these covers have inside flaps on them, which are not available in the imagewrap covers. Personally, I love the look and finish of the image wrap - it looks amazing! The information is available right here on my blog anyway, so you wouldn't be missing anything by deciding on the imagewrap. I think it looks better!
Remember that by purchasing your very own copy, you're helping to protect plants and animals that inhabit our Earth, and to preserve all the places we live in together. 10% of the proceeds of each and every book will be donated in one lump sum at the end of each calendar year to the Nature Conservancy to help this most worthy cause. Have you already purchased one of my books? Then thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of the conservation of all things nature! :)
Please share this page with any friends and family who would like the images in my photo book and/or the galleries available on my Smugmug website (http://www.murchiesphotography.smugmug.com/).
An exciting day for Murchie's Photography! :) I have also received images from my Smugmug site in the metalprint and thinwrap format, just so I can inspect for quality. They both look fantastic in their own way! The metalprints are really unique - the image is printed right INTO the metal, if that makes sense, and has a high gloss protective finish on it. The thinwrap is awesome - it has a slight metallic finish to the image and has a satin-like quality to it. Marvelous! I am now waiting for my wrapped canvas print to be delivered and will let you know how that turns out - my guess is that it will look super as well! They are also likely the type I will be selling in the Reading Room Cafe here in Sooke.
Remember that besides the printed images, the coffee table books make excellent gifts! I almost hate to say it, but Christmas is just around the corner! Both the prints and the books can be ordered right online, with fast, easy and secure payment, and they are shipped to your doorstep. Now that's what I call efficient Christmas shopping! ;)
Until next time!
