Comparing Books and Albums

Here's a comparison of the press-printed books and standard albums (not flush mounted or press-printed albums):

1. thickness - 8x8 black album and 8x8 brown fabric-covered book




2. binding -- book on bottom; album on top



3. page thickness -- book on left; album on right



4. gutters -- both will have a gutter (does not apply to press printed books which offer full-page spreads with no gutter)



5. mounting -- the album (on the left) is a photographic print mounted on heavy cardstock. The album pictured here is NOT flush mounted, so the print will not be even with the edge of the page. There will be a tiny margin around the edges where the backing will show. (Again, not applicable to flush mounted or press printed albums which go edge to edge.) The book print goes edge-to-edge, but is not a photographic print.



The coffee-table books look very much like the photographic books available in the bookstores, thus "coffee-table books." The albums are what people think of when you mention wedding albums, except now we have the luxury of adding more than one image per page.

Enjoy Special Moments

Coffee-table books ... they're not just for weddings and baby's first year portraits!

This summer a special friend called to tell me about a beautiful sunflower field near her home. I drove up to check it out then packed up my granddaughters and daughter for a photo safari the next day. My sweet husband went along to carry the props and entertain the granddaughters when they were not being photographed. (He ended up in several of the pictures because he's just so entertaining and adorable!) It turned out to be a very special time and I ended up with so many wonderful pictures. So, I designed a coffee table book and ordered three copies - one for me, one for my daughter and one for the granddaughters. I used one of the photographs as the cover in a metallic finish.





Here's a peek inside:













I've made coffee-table books for several special projects. I think they're a great way to remember the occasion and easily view the pictures. The cost is about the same or less than getting prints of each image.

Be sure to subscribe to my blog via Google Reader or fan my facebook page to be notified when special opportunities -- like this surprise sunflower field -- become available.

Having recently uploaded a sample of a boy's Baby's First Year book that comes with the Baby's First Year Package, I thought I should upload this peek at a little girl's version. Enjoy!

Edward recently completed the "Baby's First Year" program with sessions at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-months. As part of the program, Edward's parents received a coffee-table book with their favorite images from each session:







Here's a peek inside:






The book is printed on lay-flat pages with a UV coating:



A wonderful way to remember those all-important milestones in your baby's first year:
