Behind the Image :: Photographic Albums

I’ve talked before about decorating your home with your images after a session. And while I love the big eye candy/statement pieces on the walls…sometimes you may decide that there are too many images that you just can’t live without. Because of the way she looks at him. Because of the story that their sweet (or sometimes mischievous) eyes tell.

Because they are moments you don’t want to forget long after the day has passed.

Signature and Gallery Albums are a perfect, fantastic way to preserve those moments :: from size small enough (5×5″ or 8×8″) to carry in your handbag to a big, beautiful coffee table book, at 10×10″ or 12×12″.

These albums were created with buttery-soft chocolate leather covers and a luxurious gold foil stamp with the family’s name and session date. Covers have so many options and ways to customize…like my studio sample.

The larger one in the back is a 10×10 Signature album, and the smaller 8×8 size is a Gallery offering.

Both are printed on photographic paper, with rich, beautiful, vibrant color and a slightly textured finish. I love these albums because there’s no break across the spine–so you get big, wide images across the spread, and the pages lay wide open for a great big image area.

Each album is entirely custom-designed. We can choose the images together, or you can select the ones that you feel best represent the story that you wish to capture. You can add messages and wording, if you like. Things that your little ones say that make you smile. Or special stories that hold a significant memory.

There are subtle differences between the two, as well. You’ll never worry about bent pages with Signature albums–pages are mounted on heavyweight board, giving a sturdy, substantial feel. The pages of Gallery albums are more lightweight, making them easier to carry (especially the smallest size :: it makes a stunning gift for grandmas to show off their beautiful family!).

Their spines are wonderfully classic, too :: never going out of style, and will sustain through the years as it becomes a family heirloom. Both albums are completely archival, and with gentle care will be a signature memento that your family will appreciate and cherish for the future.

Packaged securely in a dustproof box, you’ll be able to treasure your heirloom for years to come.
