Termite Bridge, Book Seven, WOLVES OF WHITEWATER FALLS by #1 International Bestselling Author Lisa Loucks Christenson. Lisa shot this cover of the bridge then digitally hand drew in the wolves, the termites chewing on the letters on the book title to replicate the termites painted on the real sign and tie the title to the bridge. The black and white wolves are featured on the book covers of this #1 International Best Selling book series set in the Minnesota blufflands, a place Lisa has lived her entire life. Wolf Eyes from this same book series hit #1, twice, Internationally, in the June and July 2014.
Lisa shoots the images for all her covers, adding traditional and digital art as she chooses. Lisa's a 20+ year member of the American Society of Media Photographers, a member of the SCBWI, RWA, WWW, and NATJA. Lisa's been designing ads, brochures, artcards, supplying art for her articles, and books for over 30 years, and many of the covers she designed became overnight best sellers on Amazon, most of them top five or #1, internationally.
Lisa's stock photography is NOT royalty-free. All her images are rights-managed. What that means is the same cover images will not be licensed to your competition, but can appear in an article, or text book. Lisa shoots for many educational markets.
Specialties: People, relationships, nature, wildlfie, food, lifestyles, business, fantasy, photo art, ongoing concepts. If you need hand drawn illustrations, a custom shoot, or a combination of both, Lisa can provide this.
We offer eBook only designs, and print and ebook designs. The grant
of use we provide for your paid covers secures your rights to use
your cover everywhere, worldwide, no restrictions, no hidden fees,
but they can't be resold or licensed to others. Unlike other
designers who use royalty-free images, you risk your cover showing
up, in part or almost identically to that of a fellow authors'
cover.
You've spent a considerable amount of time writing your book,
editing, polishing, why would you risk using the same cover as
everyone else?
Lisa specializes in creating images that combine elements, models, scenes that consistant throughout the series, but are not the same model(s) dressed in the same outfit, striking a different pose for each book.
Call us today to set up your next book cover.

Here's what Snowy Creek Book Designs™ offers:
We design book covers from images, illustrations in our
stock library, all owned by Lisa Loucks Christenson.
We don't accept images from other sources, so please don't send them to us and ask us to make a cover from them. I've been in the stock photograph industry for over 30 years, I've been a member of the ASMP for over 20 of these years. I take my copyrights seriously, and protect them .
Lisa owns 100% of the copyrights to her images, these rights are
never sold or included in any license agreement, ever. All our
models sign model releases, Every pet, animal, and location are
model or property released. We don't use trademarks in our
covers (unless we own them.) We work hard to make sure our covers
don't come across as offensive, vulger or in-your-face, and we
prefer to stick to family-friendly final images. We do, on
occassion buy books that have covers from other authors, or
publishers, and we've kept their original designs as part of their
original look on any reprinting, or compiliations of previously
published works, our views do not agree or endorse these covers,
but have kept them to preserve the life of the work.
RIGHTS-MANAGED:
All our images are rights-managed. That means we don't sell
royalty-free images with less than user-friendly terms. We know
where our images are being used, for what period of time. I
make it so easy for your publishing house, corporation,
business, or for indie authors to use my covers for their
books, on their websites, in their printed materials, and
electronic editons, without the hassle of having to ask for
additional licenses, however, I have two rules:
PHOTO SHOOTS: If we don't have the images on file, we offer photo sessions that we shoot, specifically for your image, or if we are in session on a self project, may include these extra details for no additiional fee.
MODELS:
We're always looking for new book cover models. Can you be a
model? Go to a book store, look at some of the covers you see. Only
you can decide this. I've worked with models for over 30 years. Do
you know who our models are? Our models will be anyone
we select. Are you our next model? Send us some head shots. All our
people, pet, and location images must be model or property
released, or we can't use you as a model.
CLIENTS:
We only allow our images to be used in G to PG13 rated books. We don't shoot or offer any adult situation covers, nor do we allow our youth models to be used with a negative portrayls of their image.
If you need a book cover designed, call Lisa.
If you're a publisher, agent, or indie author who is looking to license our work, including finished books with complete design, editing, illustrations, contact us.
