Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful Tips for Getting Us Your Child's Artwork.

You need to take a digital picture of each artwork, save it to your computer, and then email it to the address given upon receipt of your purchase.

Be sure your camera is on the medium or high resolution setting.

If you can take the picture in natural light (i.e. by a bright window or open door) that is best. Shooting in direct sunlight can cause harsh shadow--move a tad over to the shade NEXT to the sun. If you need to use flash, do not get so close to the artwork as to wash it out.

It is best to photograph the artworks on a solid light colored background. A large piece of poster board is a great way to do it! Have a a good background, allows us to work our "magic" on your final print without any "clutter" in the way.

If you can, stand either directly over, or square in front of the artwork. Try not to shoot at too much of an angle.

Don't worry too much about the "perfect" image--we are here to help with that!

IF you prefer to send us your artwork to photograph, that can be arranged!

About

Simply Create celebrates the simple magic of childhood. Here at our blog, we love to give you ideas about ways you can enrich your child's creativity. We also want them to be PROUD of their work. That is why we started the "Masterpiece Montages." These gallery-style posters are tasteful ways to showcase your child's art in your home. We give the "little artists" a "big artist" presentation. Included with each poster is a place where you can record what your child has to say about each work. These memories that can fade quickly as they grow, will be recorded forever. Imagine stepping back into your childhood artist-self--what insights we would all find!!

Johanna Waisley-Founder
I am a mother of 3, portrait photographer, and former art teacher. Making sure that children's creative lives are celebrated in an artful way is my passion. As Picasso so poignantly put it: "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up," My hope is that by documenting the little artist, we will can cultivate that creativity to become "big" artists!
