I would make a collage of newborn baby images. Lots of little toes,eyelashes,hands and sweet faces.
My son recently entered a photography contest for children with special needs. He took 25 pictures but only 1 of the photos was allowed to be in the gallery viewing. I was so proud of all the pictures he took but not all will be displayed. I would like to frame his other pictures since he does not often get to participate in contests. The float mount frame looks like a perfect way to display his pictures. I would love to have it so that his pictures could be prominently displayed in our home. He was so proud of them!
I love slim float wraps and would love to win one for my studio!
I love these slim float wraps and would make a collage of photos I took at my grandson’s recent wedding.
I would have a collage made of my spring bird photos….I cannot leave my house due to several reasons and I have been photographing
the birds outside on my feeders and near the bird houses and sending them daily via email to a group of people.
I would love to make a collage of my 2 year old with all of The photos I’ve taken of him!!
I can think of many ways I would use this. I would combine an growth collage. Maternity, Bith, 3 6 9 mo, to 1 year, smash the cake
My 3 boys!

My four beautiful grandchildren!
This year has been awesome for me, I became a photographer inspired by the extreme need for income (husband laid off) and because it was creative. A dream and hardly any funds, I purchased a used DSLR on amazon.com. $300.00. Courage, creativity, and with no experience or classes about photography under my belt, I began a lofty goal of starting my own business and thus, ChristinaMichellePhotography.com was born. Fast forward, 6/4/11 – my first wedding! It was of a dear friend… It was a bittersweet wedding because she had waiting so long for the love of her life (and he is perfect!) but the bitter part is that as a young girl her and her sister lost their mother to cancer – and two girls growing up without mama impacted them and created a bond between them so strong, survival and friendship. I felt privileged to be chosen to capture this day in her life, her story. I would use this board to display her happy ending, and beginning.
I love these! I’d love to win one for my house. I’m a 1st time mom and my baby is fixing to be 1!!!! I can’t wait to display her recent photos!
I have a photo that I took of my three kids around Easter that I need to print and hang on my wall. The float mount would be perfect!
I want to make a collage of photos from my daughter’s first year!
I would love to make a collage of the Spring portraits I took of my family. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but these photos are definitely the best I’ve taken thus far!
i love them, I would totally put my latest vintage session and use it as a display in my studio
I shared the contest on my fb page.
I would have images printed of my 20 month old daughter rediscovering the beach in our backyard – Splish splashing in the water, leaving footprints everywhere and building sandcastles! Oh the joys of summer!
I would use pictures from my wedding last year and present it to my beautiful wife for an anniversary present.
My husband and I got married a second time after 9 years and we don’t have photos up of the first time..I’d love to showcase them in this slim float wrap! Very cool!
This slim float mount would give me the perfect platform to display a collage of all of our “hero” friends & family that are serving in the military overseas…a visual reminder to pray for them, as well as a reminder to my young children (and myself) that our freedom is something that is continually being fought for.
I would like to do a collection of images of my youngest child. She is promoting from Elementary school this year, I’m feeling sad about it.
If I were to win this collage, i would have pictures of my Grandparents done or copies from my Grandfather’s journals. They were always there for me, and my house is filled with memories of them. My Grandfather passed away last year, and it has been rough on my children and I, and my Grandmother is battling Alzheimer’s and it is progressing rapidly. To showcase them like this I think would be a fitting tribute and something my daughters and I could treasure forever.
I would love to do a collage of pictures of my kids!
I’ve got a new studio and am trying to get product samples little by little! I think I would use some images of my two girls to showcase the slim float wrap in my office/sales room at the studio!
I would to do a family tree! It would be fun for the kids to see aunts, uncles and cousins in one fun picture!
I have a session of my daughter that would look beautiful on a float wrap!
We just had a new baby boy at the end of December so he is almost 6 months and we also have a 5 year old. We would put pictures of the kids and of the whole family. I would love to display the pictures that show how much my kids love each other. My youngest lights up when he sees his big bro and I have it on film.
I’d do one of two things. We don’t really have enough pictures on our walls…so I’d either do a collage our kids or a landscape from our favorite vacation spot.

We just had an afternoon with our 2 grandsons, we rode the

Pictures of my toddler and her Daddy’s vintage Mustang!
I have a series of shots I took of my son on horseback. I think this would be the perfect showcase for them!

We are headed to our favorite spot again this summer – Ouray, CO. I would use the slim float mount to display numerous pictures of the wildflowers blooming in the mountain meadows. My family says things like “Mom, another picture of a flower?!”. But oh, they are so beautiful in all their wild splendor.
I would make a collage of my nephew…I love him!!!!
I would wait until I get the photos back from my wedding. Indian weddings are all about details and color. I’d love to showcase the beautiful work!
This would be perfect for the engagement photos my husband and I shot Sunday night! Thanks!
I have recently added “Your Garden in Photos” to my services. I photograph my clients gardens in full bloom and create a collection of art for their wall. The slim float mount would make a beautiful way to display the collection!
Your Garden in Photos is a great idea!! May I ask how much you charge for this service?
I would print a collage of my horses and my 2 year old. Nothing like capturing a special moment and printing it to remember it a lifetime.
What a great product. I lost my mom to cancer last year, and I think I would use this to put pictures of her and me together in.
I would do a collage of my daughter’s 4 year pics, the “keeper” in the middle and the bloopers around the edges. (photographing a preschooler means LOTS of blooper shots!)
I would love to display pictures of my 3 kids playing with their 3 best friends who will be moving away in a few months – it’s going to be so difficult for us all when they move and I know having a visual, daily reminder of their friends would help them remember all the fun times.

I would use photos of my family’s trip to China two years ago. We were blessed to be able to go back and visit my older daughter’s orphanage and to see the the land where both of my daughters were born. It was an amazing trip and although I have a album of the trip being able to hang some of our favorite photos so we could see them every day would be fantastic!

sunburst through a flowery tree for over my bed in my room!
My mother passed away this past March so I would either make one of her for my dad to put in their house or I would create one for a very special senior girl who captured my heart this year. Color Inc. is 20 minutes from my studio and I love their products. Never thought of getting a slim mount before so this could just change my mind! :~)
