I have been getting a lot of flack from some of my blog readers about no recent posts.  So, I apologize for that.  While the season is really winding down, and I am not shooting as many sessions, I am BUSY behind the scenes designing, and creating amazing wedding albums for my late summer and early fall clients.

I get lots of questions from other photographers about albums, which company I use, how I design my spreads, etc.  So, the short answer to all of this is here.  I have two AWESOME album companies that I use.  Right now, there are SO many album companies to choose from, and some of them are rather gimmicky.  I want my albums to be timeless … in other words … something that you will actually display on your coffee table, and something you won’t look back on in a few years and say, wow, that really went out of style.  For this reason, I don’t design ‘faded backgrounds’ or collages.  My images are displayed on white backgrounds so that your images do the talking!  If you are a photographer, I recommend attending the WPPI or another type of album show (there was recently an awesome one here in Denver that was put on by MHP), so that you can find a book that works for your clients, target market, and photography style.

While album design can sometimes be a tedious process, it is SO rewarding when these books start getting delivered to my door.  For me, it’s a STORY of the day.  I LOVE reliving this story through the images.  I have such a rewarding job.  When I get to look through these books, it is like the icing on a cupcake.  And that is GOOD

Next week, I’ll describe the Album Workflow Process further in detail.

{Since our season is slowing down, and we are searching for blog content, keep the questions coming.  You can either leave comments here, or send me an email.  I will do my best to answer these questions in an upcoming Flavorful Friday Post}

And, because I can just talk about these albums, here is Ashley and Scott’s 12×12 Leather Coffee Table album that was delivered this week.  Seriously, it’s delicious!

As you can see, the seam of the book is virtually invisible.  AWESOME!
