I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I am a photographer for weddings and portraits. I love capturing photos that evoke love and happiness and have enjoyed capturing images of couples for several years. With a growing photography industry, there are a plethora of companies that are available for prints, personalization and design for yourself and to offer your clients. Over the years I have used many different sites and vendors and quality is a definite a must when providing anything to a client. Today I want to share with you an online site that makes customization easy and the prices are definitely on par with what is on the market today. Today I introduce you to Minted.com.
Minted is not a normal print website. It is a design marketplace. Creative content from a global community of artists can be found online and can be purchased in the form of art, home décor and stationery directly to consumers. Minted not only allows you to be creative, the site offers challenges that are open for submission and voting which makes Minted. unique in that it gives an additional option for creators.
Started by Mariam Naficy in 2007, Minted held their first design challenge with a save-the-date card design competition that attracted 66 entries. Now a few years later and thousands of design and art entries, the company has expanded into the art business and home décor business and their products have now reached 40 million homes Worldwide. Founder Mariam loved art & design after seeing a variety of types through out her travels as well as those created by family members and for this reason, she wanted to have the hidden creative talent of those around the World accessible to consumers.
Use inspiration from the available artists or create your own artwork with an easy to use interface via Minted’s online site. As easy as uploading your own images, adding text and purchasing, everything about Minted provides you with an ease of use, quality product and a plethora of art work to decorate your home, office and everything in between.
Minted.com is the perfect solution if you’re looking to give a house warming gift. How great would it be to offer the new home owners a personalized gift for display. Newlyweds and newly engaged couples will love this option as well. If you are an artist, photographer or someone who just loves art, Minted is a site that I know you will love and if you are anything like me, you’ll be spending hours going through all the options available.
Minted is not just for photogs alike. Get great DIY tips for your special events or day to day as well as fun items to add a little spunk to your everyday. Complete your party with favor bags, straws and all the fun decor you need to make a simple party an absolute blast. From stationery, invitations and announcements and decoration, Minted offers more than you could ever imagine. After hours of browsing through Minted’s website, I have yet to discover everything it has to offer. You will be amazed at everything available and how much you can customize.

I love the idea of this! For the past couple of christmases, I’ve gotten family members some of the photos from our get togethers printed as mounted canvases. Such a personal gift!
Canvas is such a great gift. I usually will take nature photos or florals and print on canvas and give as gifts… they are show stoppers.
I’ve heard of this website before. You should showcase more of your photo gigs. I love the wedding photo you included.
