When your session is complete and you are holding your album in your hands, what does it look like? What does it feel like? How does it feel to open the book up and know that is you?
The photos inside the book are the most gorgeous photos of yourself & you cannot help looking at it everyday. Let’s make the outside of your Album just as beautiful as the inside.
Types of Albums
Classic
First of all, there are 2 different types of albums. Trust me when I say, this Classic Album is anything but boring!
The main album I offer on the a la carte list and in the middle Collections is a gorgeous square matte paper album that has a very customizable cover.
We’re going to go in a lot of detail about designing this one. You get to choose: *What it says *Leather, Velvet or Linen *Placement of writing
Those of you getting the Rose Gold Collection, you can mix & match any fabric for your slipcase. Like this example with the bougie leather album & velvet slipcase:
diamond
The Diamond Album is listed on the Product/Price Guide as part of the Diamond Collection
It is a 9×12 album and has an acrylic photo of your choice (from your session) and the pages are gloss instead of matte. Once you’ve selected your picture, we will pair it with leather or velvet to complete the look.
You can also upgrade your Classic album to a Diamond!
heirloom box
Technically not an album, it’s true.
However, the Heirloom Box (Blush Collection) got an upgrade and now it’s just as customizable as a Classic Album!
Maybe even more-so! You can pick from almost any fabric (leather, velvet, & linen) for the cover of the box. Then choose the side fabric from the silks & linens. I will note below which colors are available for the sides.
Top your box off with custom embossing like this flower or write whatever your heart desires!
Let’s dive into the options!
velvet
Super soft, luxurious, and 11 rich colors to choose from! When using Velvet on your cover, all embossing is blind – in other words, it’s clear & more subtle. (See example below)
leather
You have the Classic, Faux, and the Bougie Leather to choose from here!
You can do any color of embossing (writing) on this fabric.
Below are a few ideas for color combinations!
Fabric/linens
There are Coated linen options OR linens & silks that have a lot of texture to them. The color options feel endless with these! There are even sparkly options!
Clients in the past have picked favorite colors, wedding colors, or whatever feels right with their images.
These are the fabrics you can choose from for the side of your Heirloom Box.
Just a few of the endless color combinations!
diamond
There are not as many options with the Diamond Albums, however I really love the options they do offer! Picking the color for these typically is best once you’ve decided on an image. I have samples of all of the color options, so we hold them up to your photo to see what coordinates well. First, these velvets are SO very soft!
I love how sparkly these diamond leathers are!
There are also some patterned leathers along with a classic black.
Embossing
Are you getting a Classic album and have no clue what to write on it? No worries, I have you covered (pun intended😉)
Below are some ideas/suggestions along with the embossing color options. Please feel free to ask about other thoughts you might have that aren’t listed here.
I hope this helps you prepare to create an Album (or Heirloom Box) as unique as you are! All of the swatches are at the studio, so you will be able to feel and see them in person as well.
