My Finao Swatches Arrived TodayMonday, April 4th, 2011

The Finao swatches I ordered arrived today! I am really excited and I am going to start designing a studio sample album from Finao. Up till now I have only offered Kiss Wedding Albums – and I will continue to offer them. The Finao albums will be a higher end and will be super customized for the bride and groom who select the Finao option.

Finao is working on an iPad app that will let me customize the album for a client right there – I’m excited!

Some of the cover options are leather, faux leather, cloth, metal, fabric and others.

See Megan & Tony’s Wedding Album DesignFriday, April 1st, 2011

I am so excited to show you the design for Megan & Tony’s wedding album. Their album arrived in the mail this past week and their package also included a disk of the photographs. Megan emailed me today expressing how much she loved the album and that everyone they share the album with just say that the “arrangements, coloring, and just the album itself are the most beautiful they have ever seen.” That means so much to me!

So here is the album – I have a studio sample of this album that you just have to see to believe.

 


The album is 74 pages or 37 spreads. It was printed and bound into a black leather album. I personal edit all the photographs and I design each album from scratch. I do not outsource the editing or the design. I figure that each wedding and wedding album is a work of art – and you can’t outsource art.

Delivered a Wedding Album to my Clients!Sunday, March 6th, 2011

Hooray! A lot of hard work and creativity was wrapped up Friday night – I delivered my first full fledged wedding album to Julianne and Amy. It looks amazing – I didn’t have the opportunity to photograph their album before delivering it to them. Their wedding package included the 12×12 album and a disk of the photographs. And as a gift, I gave them a little Kiss wedding album in matching red leather so they can carry a copy in their purse.

You can see their album design here. And you can see some of their wedding photographs here.

And they will be able to have their wedding memories saved for a lifetime and more. It is so important to have prints and an album to preserve photography. Too often people only want a disk and that disk my end up on a shelf and the photographs are lost or forgotten. And too often people will have one digital copy on their computer and as soon as the hard drive fails (and they will) and the photographs are lost.

So I am more than happy to design a beautiful wedding album for your engagements, bridals, and wedding day!

I Love KISS Wedding Books!Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

I have never grabbed my credit card so fast!

I use KISS Wedding Books as my wedding album supply company and I have been buying some studio albums for dav.d wedding photography. The albums look gorgeous and they make my photographs look amazing-er. So, I was on Facebook and I noticed that they were giving away $30,000 in sample wedding albums to the first photographers to order an album – up to $400 per studio.

I am fortunate I had two album designs close to finalized – close enough that I could use the design for a studio sample. So I ordered a 37 spread album (that is 74 pages) in black leather and I ordered the largest 12 inches. I can’t wait to see it.

This is what I saw on facebook:

So I quickly grabbed my credit card and paid the difference in price and shipping. This was unheard of – or at least I have never seen a company pull this kind of marketing before. This week is WPPI (Wedding Portrait Photographers International) tradeshow. Rather than pay $50,000 for a large booth KISS decided to give back to their photographers.

The offer expired quickly as many photographers took advantage of the $400 credit – many were able to get albums at no cost. Woo hoo!

And to be sure I will photograph and blog the photos of the album when it arrives – should I spoil the surprise and tell you whose wedding? Nah, I’ll keep that a secret – for now.

Preview of the Red Leather Little KISSes Wedding AlbumFriday, January 21st, 2011

This week has been a great week for UPS. I have had so many deliveries that I am sure I have put the CEO’s child through college.

Today’s delivery were a pair of red leather Little KISSes wedding album. These will complete my first round of studio sample albums for the year. I now have one of each main type of album that I will be selling. I hope to have an 8″ sample soon and I would like to get an album in each color. But baby steps in my building my collection of album samples.

I will take a few more photographs of these Little KISSes later – probably when I can schedule the studio space and photograph them with the big lights. In the mean time I am going to be flipping through the albums several times.

The Little KISSes come in pairs of two – so for one price you get two 4″ albums. You can keep a copy and give one to your mom. They are pretty slick and fit in a purse.
