What Is A Spread?
A spread is two pages that lay side by side, the right side and the left side, and lay flat when opened.
What Makes The Album Custom?
We customize the album from start to finish according to your specifications. You get to choose the album size, cover material, color, design, page edging shape and color, lining, and much more! Each page is custom designed to highlight the beauty of its individual story. Once the design draft is complete, you get to view it and request any changes you feel you may need. Up to three revisions are included, as we want you to be completely satisfied!
Which Events Do You Make Albums For?
We can make an album for any occasion- baby’s first year, wedding, special birthday, anniversary, etc. Just send us an email with any of your questions.
I Have So Many Photos, How Do I Choose?
Excellent question, and we know that is where many people get stuck. The first thing to do is sift through- if there are 20 images from the same pose, you probably realize that you really don’t need them all. Narrow down to the one or two photos that are the sharpest or have the best facial expression, if they each portray something unique. For events you will want to also cull (that means to narrow down) to a few photos from each part of the event- like portraits, reception, speakers, main dinner, dancing, etc.
Can You Help With Choosing The Best Photos?
We do offer an additional service of Photo Selection. This means you give us free reign to choose the photos that we feel will tell your story the best. You will need to inform us of any particular people or parts of the event or occasion that are crucial for your story, as this is YOUR story and you know it best. Don’t worry, if there any images you don’t want to use, as you can always request a swap during your included revisions requests.
Do I Get To See The Layout Before It Goes To Print?
Of course! Your album will not go to print before it gets your final approval. Once the layout is ready for viewing, you will be emailed a link to review the album. You will have the ability to advise or request any adjustments directly on each page. Three revisions are included so we can get your album exactly right!
How Long Does The Process Take?
That’s a great questions and that depends on several factors such as how long it takes you to decide on your specs and how fast you send your photos. You should receive your first draft within 10 days from when your photos are received. Once final approval for print is given and payment is received, you can expect another 2-3 weeks before your album will be ready (sometimes even sooner!).
