Tracy & Adam's Handmade Album

Tracy and Adam were married in 2002. We are putting together a handmade album for them that 4x6 photos will be adhered into. It is a 8x15, 56 side album with decorative papers as the cover materials. We utilized stamps and text (used on thier wedding day) into this album. It was a quite complicated process of layout and binding so it all read the right way. Now that we have the template of pages, the opportunities are endless as to what we will be able to create here in house. Whether it is adding photos to pages like this or actually printing our own magazine style layouts, our handmade albums now are going to be unbelievable (as if they weren't already!!!)!

This is a NEW offering in our handmade album line with the lace overlay.

Renaissance Albums

We haven't ever gotten photos of the Renaisance albums up here yet so we shot some of our studio sample (of Laura & Scott from 10/05).



This album is the most traditional album we offer. Black leather with matted images and silver edged pages. Very classy and elegant album. A variety of mattes with the inclusion of the magazine style layouts gives our album a contemporary edge. Cut out or embossed front cover with many options for imprinting personalization. Comes in 2 sizes with 12-28 pages.

Tina & Blaine's Parent Albums

These are 2 5x5 40 page albums.
Made specifically for both sets of parents.
Since all of the page layouts are the same, the printing of aditional copies are less expesive once the original has been created.
The Asuka Books were added this year to our line of product that we offer and have been very popular for parents albums as well as the bridal albums.
Asuka now offers red and black slip cases.


Mary Jo & Bill's Asuka Album

'Tis the season of album design and fullfillment.

Bill & Mary Jo's 80 page 10x10 Asuka Album



Zookbook - flush album

Zookbook! It is so beautiful!

It is 11x14 with the brushed leather cover, cameo cuttout and Branded Imprint

(there are a ton of cover materials and color options as well as cameo sizes and imprinting can be foiled or branded).

There are 20 pages (40 sides) and are a hard board with photos adhered (and laminated for protection) to the board.
This is an example of a Flush Mount Album.

It has a very thin gutter in the middle so there is no damage to the photographs while you turn the pages.
This book can be made in a wide variety of sizes and like always the magazine style layout is always approved by the client before sending to print.

This is a great album for Weddings, Babies and Seniors!

Awesome DJ lighting by Instant Request.
Check it out at our next consultation.
