handmade albums

PHYSICALS

In addition to prints, completely handmade true photographically produced albums are offered to home a chapter of your life story. While digital copies of your photos are useful and convenient in today’s digital world, remember that your story is captured so much more in depth than you can appreciate on a screen.

Much effort and attention is put into the process of documenting your important life moments. All galleries are curated, color corrected, and graded both individually and as album sets. Subtle but crucial details are included within your gallery to compliment album layouts.

The first step of building your album is selection of photos to include. You are welcome to “♥ Favorite” your images to include in your album via your online gallery. Or, we can choose the images for you! The amount of images is directly related to the number of spreads your album build will require. On average, 3-5 images exhausts a typical spread, with the larger albums being able to accommodate slightly more due to the additional real estate of the spread.
