Scrumptious. Gorgeous. Fabulous. Timeless.

This weekend I had an album delivered that just had to be shared. From top to bottom, this piece was all about quality. It was so delectable that I’ve decided to order another to keep at the studio — just because. Albums are often thought of as leap of faith, and they don’t have to be.

It started with great design from Willow Album Design (because hey, I’m a photographer, not a graphic designer. Let’s leave design to pros.) I heartily recommend Britney’s service to other photographers looking for an elegant and efficient supplier. She took my images and made them sing on the page. She also provides a proofing service that I was able to use in conjunction with this bride and groom.

The album was made by Finao. It is 12″x12″, which is a substantial size. It’s more than substantial. It’s impressive. It feels heavy. Really heavy. It feels special.

The cover is thick and luscious. The pages are permanently mounted photographic prints on rigid board. The edges are amazingly bound and perfectly aligned. There are no flaws, and the whole affair is packaged with recycled fiber papers (pineapple leaves! mulberry leaves!) and real leaf skeleton adornments. Truly, Finao creates works of art.

Albums like this are available to any of my portrait or wedding clients, including past clients. They will also be part of the Summer House 2010 package, which will be announced later this week.

Thank you, suppliers. You are wonderful.
