Contestant's Case to Win

Papergirl Press offers lifestyle portraiture and photojournalistic event photography. We make it possible for children, families, & couples to have custom, on location photo shoots that capture their personality and style. With these images, we create heirlooms that will be treasured. We give each client the opportunity to shine like stars and look their most beautiful, while freezing important moments in their lives. It is more than just about art. More than just memories. It's about people and relationships.

Melanie Alvarez--photographer, designer, and business owner--offers custom cards, invitations, and announcements, as well. Upon request, she designs works of art based on the her captured images.

Papergirl Press has used social media, like Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr, and online presence (with our own blog) to build a community of fans and clients versus traditional advertising. Utilizing social media, we get the opportunity to interact with clients and potential clients on a more personal level. Please consider us a business that can be a used as a sample for how social media can be used to better build small businesses.
