Thanks For A Great Show!

We are back at the bindery. WPPI was a wonderful success for us this year and we couldn't be more excited to put all of the energy and momentum of the show into our plans for this year. Our booth was insanely crowded and we loved it! We will certainly expand our booth size next year. We want to say thank you to all the photographers who assisted us at our booth-Jose Villa, Yvette Roman, Bryan Johnson, and Michael Negrete! We can't thank you enough!

Also, a big thank you to the photographers who helped us put together some exquisite new samples-Elizabeth Messina, Jose Villa, Yvette Roman, Gene Higa, Ann Hamilton, Bryan Johnson, Danielle Biel, Andie Hamilton, Asgeir Bollason, and Elisabeth Millay.

And thanks to all of you for stopping by and introducing yourself, it was great to meet you all! For those of you who couldn't make it, here are a few photos:

Receiving A Package From Cypress

Everyone loves getting packages in the mail. At Cypress, we put care and effort into our packaging and presentation so that when you get a Cypress delivery, you and your clients know that you've received something truly special. We just wanted to share this blog posting by 6 of Four Creations, a husband and wife team based in Atlanta. They took a great photo series documenting the joy of opening their Cypress Album package.

Do you have trouble tying the ribbon bow as nice as we do? Now you won't have to! We are now offering 3 different options for the ribbon tie on our folios. Just specify which option you prefer when placing your order:

Option #1: Folio ribbon bow tied around the front- Must untie in order to open folio, like opening a present
Option #2: Folio ribbon bow tied in back (Same as #1, however you are able to open folio without untying)
Option #3: Folio ribbon bow tied in front (Same appearance as #1, however you are able to open the folio without untying)
