My Favorite Album...

Yes, it's my family album! I love this set so much! We created an 8x8 Iris Book, Custom 4x6 Proof Box, & a 6x6 Tri-Folio with Chocolate Brown and Ice Blue Fabric. Yvette Roman photographed our family and it was so much fun. With my daughter, 5 1/2, and my son, 2 1/2, anything can happen, and it did.

As we all began playing, the kids decided to "dress-up" and they decided to dress-up mommy and daddy too! Within seconds mommy was dressed as a witch and daddy was a princess! The day ended with a family portrait of us piled on top of each other laughing on the sofa. Yvette really captured a normal day in our lives and my husband and I are so happy to have this set of great images! As my daughter gets ready to start school again and my son starts preschool, I can't stop looking at this album and seeing how much they have grown so quickly.

In May/June of this year we created duplicate books for both grandparents as gifts for Mother's and Father's Day and they were speechless. They are still talking about these albums today!

Thank you again Yvette!!

Another Great Color Combination...

This Presentation Box, Folio, and Artisan Book combination is elegant and sophisticated. The set is created with Platinum Fabric and Teal ribbon. The Artisan Book makes a great album or guest book. I love this complete set of products! It will certainly highlight your lifestyle images.

The images are by Yvette Roman. I love the matted image with the bride's hair flowing down. It creates these beautiful, soft lines in the image while her face gently peeks through her hair. Matting images is a great way to highlight your favorite images. We now stock the silver easels too!

The Artisan Book

Here's a great album that we recently created. The images are by Susie Q. Varin and are mounted in The Artisan Book. Although it's a self-mount album, we can also mount the images for you for a small mounting fee. The Artisan Book above shows the optional clean, crisp, vellum between the pages. I really like the look and feel of this album with the vellum pages. The vellum is a heavyweight vellum and it isn't easily creased. I also love the colors of this album. The light plum (BC10) fabric with cranberry ribbon (custom color) is simply delicious!

We do keep a few of these albums in-stock, so if you need one right away, call us!

Playfully Innocent...

The Cypress Album, Understated Elegance

The Cypress Album is the ultimate in elegance & style. This matted album is meticulously handcrafted with a fine attention to detail. Every bride and groom will want to relax and reminisce for many years with their Cypress Album!

Dena Speaks at a Workshop...

In July, I had the pleasure of speaking at Yvette Roman's workshop in Venice, CA. I really enjoyed talking about business, marketing, albums, and getting to know photographers and their specific businesses. It is always great to share business ideas and approaches and see how those ideas can work for each individual business.

Business is constantly evolving and every business has to continue to evolve in order to sustain itself. I think this is the exciting part. I really enjoy reinventing, trying new approaches, and designing new elements and presentations. This is often the most challenging aspect of business as well. Workshops can stimulate ideas and offer different perspectives that energize you and your business. I highly recommend going to at least 1-2 workshops every year!

Come join us at Cypress, August 17th, at 2:30pm for a one-hour Marketing Session and Ice Cream Social. More info coming soon! RSVP required.
