Album Creation
Why Albums? I fully believe in the power of grounding moments like opening up your wedding album—not just on anniversaries, but also on those Tuesday nights years after your wedding day when you want to hold in your hands a reminder of how far you have come from that one day.
Albums are sacred. As a studio art major, this is an important one to me. Holding an image in your hands, touching the memories, having generations touch and hold these memories, it’s powerful. Memories hold such beauty and nostalgic grief all at once. To pick up an album and hold those printed memories in your hands does something to the soul. Photos are tangible representations of who we are, and revisiting that space enables us to reframe how we view life.
You and I will work closely together to create an album that fully reflects the truth of your day. This experience is beautiful in and of itself. By the time we begin this process, I will have looked at each image hundreds of times. So, curating the 800+ images you receive down to the top few is such a satisfying process. We’ll select a cover that feels like your day and pages that feel good to flip through and will withstand the test of time.

How to make it happen
Step 1 :
Decide if you would prefer the fine art book in either the 8x8”, 10×10” (square) size or the 9×12” (vertical) size.
Step 2 :
You submit your favorite images using your proofing gallery (there is a love heart symbol to select favorites). If you are having a hard time making a selection, even send me your top 30 must haves and I can take care of the rest of the selection. Once I get the go ahead to start the design, I will design a first draft and upload it online for you to review. There are 10 spreads for each album but additional spreads are available to add on.
Step 3 :
You view the draft and are welcome to request any design changes. We can go back & forth on the draft 3 times making changes. After 3 rounds of changes there will be an additional fee of $100 per set. (but I’ve never had to charge this as everything always looks great after 1-2 changes).
Step 4 :
Approval – once all approved, I send you through a final draft to sign off on – you review and sign off on it to say it’s ready for print. Once I get back this back, I order the album.
Step 5 :
The book takes about 2 weeks to make – all hand made by book binders in the USA, it will then be shipped directly to you via UPS. I will update you with the tracking number once it’s on it’s way to you.
