The Process
Decide what you want.
I’ll send you the pricing and size options. Then, you’ll let me know if you want a book or an album, what size you’d like, and how many pages you want.
2. Upload your photos
I will write you up a contract and send it over with a google drive upload link. Or I can accept pictures via dropbox, your online wedding gallery, or wetransfer. You will select which photos you want in your album!
3. Design time!
I will create the design and you get 3 complimentary revisions. I ask that you get each revision back to me within a week for a smooth and timely process.
4. Finalize your album.
Once the design is finalized you will select your cover options, complete payment, and I will have it ordered and mailed directly to you!
Album cover options and add-ons and custom debossing templates
Album or book?
Please contact me for a price list! After you reach out to me, you will first decide if you’d like an album or a book. There is a difference in cost and variety of options between the two. I tell you everything you need to know to make your decision in the video!
FAQs
-
Contact me for a price list! I like sending the pricing information with more details on the process and give you more of an explanation on your options.
-
Watch this video (long but worth it) for a very detailed explanation.
In short, albums have more cover options and higher quality paper.
-
Yes! Usually 4-5 a year. Make sure to sign up for my newsletter to hear about them. With sales, there is usually a strict deadline and sometimes I limit how many revisions you get. So if you're particular with revisions and like to take your time it might just be worth paying full price.
-
Absolutely! Once I know what you want for the original I can give you the duplicate cost. And albums and books are interchangeable with duplicates. For example, you can get yourself a 12x12 album, but then get your parents a 12x12 or 10x10 book duplicate.
Duplicates will be cheaper if ordered with the original purchase.
-
Yes, you select your own photos. I know it is initially time-consuming on your end, but it always works out better in the long run. Just trust me on this! I wrote up this newsletter if you need help selecting your pictures.
-
My price list shows the recommended picture count. I can only do up to 100 pages, so for the aesthetic I like I max out at 300/350. However, I am flexible on this and I will charge by page, not by picture. So if you want to crowd your pages more then that is just fine - let me know in the beginning. Or if you want your pictures super spread out then also let me know. However, after 350 pics I do charge an extra $1 per picture. I do not recommend doing more than 500 pics.
-
Yes you can! I make books with my iphone pics regularly. If you put your iphone pics with professional pics sometimes they don't look great together but that is your call :)
-
Any pictures! I do engagements, boudoirs, family sessions, newborns, seniors, parties, anything! I've even done a dog album!
-
For weddings, the most popular is 12x12 or 10x10. I always recommend getting out a measuring tape and measure the size so you know what to expect. I can always be the most creative with squares (12x12) (10x10), but if you like the vertical or horizontal look then go for it!
-
I am super fast! Almost too fast! I do most designs within 24 hours of receiving your pictures. Once we finalize it and I order yours it takes 1-3 business days to print, then 3-5 to ship. You can always pay $20 extra for overnight shipping. They will arrive via FedEx.
-
Yes I can mail you a gift card. It will expire 6 months after I mail it to you.
-
This is definitely a tricky part because there are so many good options. I am always happy to give my input if you need it. If you're struggling between a few options I'm also happy to send you some videos of the swatches. Just ask!
-
I don't! My design software can crop, and change images to black and white, but other than that I do no editing. I recommend fixthephoto.com for any editing you might need.
-
Yes! I have TONS of examples in my instagram highlights. Please go check them out:
-
Venmo or all major credit cards. I will send you an invoice for credit cards by default unless you specify that you want venmo. I ask for payment in full after the design is completed, but before I order your album/book.
-
Yes! The shipping is usually $75-$100 more depending on what country you're in and size/weight of your album.
-
Yes! Actually, most of my followers on Instagram found me through an influencer. If you are an influencer please contact me. Depending on your follower count I either charge you just the print cost, or I pay for the entire album in exchange for a couple stories.
-
I print from a company called Millers Lab. I love them because they offer both albums and books, have tons of cover options, incredible customer service, and a super fast turnaround. All my pricing/cover options is based around them. However, if you have another company you love then just let me know and we can chat about it. I actually have accounts with over 20+ printing companies.
-
Yes! Fill out the contact form for photographers on this page and we can discuss!
-
I will keep your design until the end of the calendar year for you to order duplicates. I might keep them longer but I guarantee to keep them through December 31st of the year you order your album/book.
If you’d like to purchase your design files you can for $40.
Are you a photographer? I’d love to work with you!
