I’ve been musing for sometime about integrating a gift registry into my website so Baltimore moms-to-be could register for maternity and newborn photography services and products.
I’m no web designer, but I do do love a good DIY project to keep me up at night… said no photographer ever. But I took on the task anyway and it turns out it wasn’t so hard to adapt my current gallery software to allow gift orders.
I am pleased to announce you may now register with Heartlove Photography!
But what’s even better, you can incorporate photography service registries into an awesome website —> http://babyli.st
Baby List is a friendly and easy to use registry where you can add items from any online store or website.
They’ll assign you a personal Registry Happiness Consultant and she’ll get in touch with you personally within a day of starting your registry. And get this, if you call their help line, a real person with real advice answers. Plus they’ll even send you complimentary registration cards to add to shower invitations or announcements to direct your loved ones to one consolidated list.
If that wasn’t cool enough, what really sets Baby List apart is the way you add items to your list – you essentially “pin” them!
You set up a quick, free account and during the process you literally drag and drop an “Add to Babylist” button in your browser. Then, wherever you are in the inter webs when you find something you love, you just click that button and a window pops us to confirm your addition. So easy. SO fun.
One of the things I love most is this allows your loved ones to find those local, independent, work-at-home-mom shops that don’t sell at big box stores and giant ‘R Us-es. Your favorite etsy shop, the baby boutique up the street, a diaper service, vendors from your farmer’s market with a web presence…. they all make your list! And of course so do the big stores and Amazon – but this levels the playing field.
Want to get started? Click here to open up your registry with Heartlove Photography then hop on over to Baby List and add a few other things… like a Nose Frieda. Trust me, you’ll need one.
