I just added another option to the albums available for boudoir photo sessions.

With a lovely patterned cover, it has a luxurious feel to it.  Different cover options are available.  The album is 8×8 in size, and come in different thicknesses – it can either take 10 prints or 20 prints.

Just recently married, Melissa’s album of her boudoir photo session made a perfect Valentine’s Day present.  The inscription on the cover perfectly encapsulates the meaning of this beautiful album as a gift to her husband.

More details of the book and the intimate photo session …

Melissa, thank you .. it was wonderful working with you.

Until recently I offered a variety of albums, of which the PictoBooks Signature albums stood out as the best.  Since nearly all my couples decided on the PictoBooks as the best way to show off a collectiom of their wedding images, I decided to simplify the line of albums I carry to just one .. that’s right .. PictoBooks.  I’m therefore expanding the variety of albums offered in this line – and I just received my new sample albums.

The 11×11 PictoBooks Signature book that I still offer as the primary album, can be seen here. 

Now there is also the panoramic version, a 14×11 landscape-oriented album which opens up to a truly impressive 28×11 size.  The web images here don’t quite do it justice.

The binding is of high quality, as are all of the PictoBooks albums:

The edges of the pages are also sealed, making for a durable album:

In contrast to this large coffee table display album, there is now also the Mini-Books – a miniature replica of the main album.

This mini-album is 3.5 x 3.5 and it comes in that cute presentation box.  The size will vary accordingly if it is a copy of an 14×11 album.  The Mini-Book has to be ordered at the same time as the main album.

And to give you an idea of the size of the album, here is my daughter holding the Mini-Book.  It’s perfect to carry around and show to family and friends.  Of course, the quality of printing and binding is on par with the main album, so everone will get a clear idea of what the main album looks and feels like.

For a parents’ album, there is now the 8×8 sized version of the main album.  It comes without the cameo image on the cover, but has the name and date embossed into the front.

This parent’s album can either be an exact copy of the main album with the same number of spreads, or an original design with fewer spreads.  And again, this album too boasts the same quality of printing and binding as the main album.

Stacie and Mitch chose a PictoBooks album – just the right match to their wedding day’s elegance.

Aviva and Matt’s wedding album landed on my doorstep a few days ago  -  a gorgeous album by PictoBooks.  Here are some detail images showing the book and some of the page layouts.

Silk Road is new line of albums being created by Ultra Color Lab in Boston.  I’m excited to announce that they will be sponsoring my presentation on photographic lighting later this month as the PPAM convention in Natick, MA.   As part of their sponsorship, they are providing me with a sample album to showcase  my work and their album lines.  I decided to use Nicole and Pete’s wedding to create a gorgeous album design for Silk Road.

Here are two examples of the double page spreads.  The rest can be seen in this slideshow.

Of all the albums that I see at trade shows, the one album company that has consistenly impressed me with the quality of their albums, and the quality of their printing, is PictoBooks.  Because I am so impressed with these albums, I am now carrying this as my top-of-the-line album option.

The cover has a large plexiglass photo cameo on the front of the album.  It really looks vibrant and is eye-catching.  There are different leather options available, but for my first studio sample, I chose this plum colour.  I think it looks stunning.

The album comes in a wooden presentation box:

The printing is gorgeous, with beautiful skin tones and saturated colours.

The quality of the album is also immediately apparent in the binding, and the fact that the edges of the pages are sealed.

I know my couples will love these albums as much as I do.
