Yay!  Finally have an album ready to show you guys.  This is a 10x10", 20-page album.  It's designed to contain about 20-25 images (depending on your design) and is PERFECT for a coffee table.  The pages are super heavy-weight, and the entire book is flat-bound - meaning that it opens and will lay perfectly flat.  You can see what I mean in the pictures.













These albums are so amazing!  And a fun way to show off all your photos from a session.  You probably won't order a copy of every image - and sometimes it's hard to let images go off into the great unknown, unpurchased, so albums are a way to showcase those images**.

They also make great gifts for grandparents, and parents that might not be an everyday part of a child's life (due to divorce, or deployment - or other family situations).  OR!!!  Why not have one made every year for your family?  Imagine in 10-15 (or more) years having all those yearly albums!

There are so many fun things to do with your photographs.  Don't just let them sit in a drawer!!!!  :)

**Keepsake Boxes are also another way to preserve all the images from a session.  These boxes include 20 5x7 images, plus tons of room to add lots of personal photos.

Here's a look at another product I offer.  Standout Mounts are a great alternative to framing:  similar look to canvas, and without the hassle of having to frame your images.  They only come in larger sizes (8x10 and bigger), and are backed with 3/4" thick backing board.  You can see in the picture it looks very similar to wood that has been painted black.  It's very lightweight though, and comes ready-to hang.







As with all photographs, I think images look best when grouped together.  Standout Mounts are a great way to create a display that will showcase the images, not the frames.  And although when you book a shoot with me you already get a basic image layout guide, I'd love to work with you to create something custom and specifically suited to YOUR home.

Aren't these mini albums cute?!  They're 3x3" versions of larger, 10x10 albums, and are perfect for your wallet or to give to grandparents. Of course, they're not exact duplicates of the larger albums, but they do share a few of the same photos (5-6 of them) and the design elements.  So much fun!!!







The large album that goes along with this mini should be here today, so I'll have that up on the blog to show you soon (hopefully - my luck with the internet has not been very good lately, lol). 

I'm also working on some new ideas for sittings and backdrops and things of that nature, and am so excited to start putting some of them to the test.  I have a few "testers" all lined up and cannot WAIT to see if my ideas work.  Photography seems to be 1/3 paperwork (and photoshop), 1/3 actual shooting, and 1/3 craft projects.  :)  Luckily, I like all that stuff!!!

Hopefully everyone's having a fun summer so far.  We WERE headed out to Hawaiian Falls but watching this big, black cloud roll in I'm not so sure anymore.   Can't really complain about getting much-needed rain though!!!!!!

Have a great week!!!!!

LOVE the July special!!!  It's perfect for everyone who wishes they had bought more gift prints when they originally ordered.    And it's simple to use - just order half the number of a particular print, and I'll double it on my end.  Easy!!!

Also - I've added a link at the top of the blog that allows you to sign up for my monthly newsletter.  It's a fun newsletter with some sneak previews of things, as well as some fun stuff that I find and want to share.   Just enter in your email above and you're all set!!!

Hope everyone is having a fun summer and staying cool!!!!!  I'll have a few really awesome things to show you in the next week or so.  Stay tuned!!!
