The importance of photo books
I recently decided to include a photo book with each of the artwork collections I offer. One of the main reasons why is that I want every single one of my clients to walk away with at least one piece of printed artwork from their session (read 5 good reasons to print your photos). And I think books are the best option when it comes to storytelling family photography. Here’s why:
Photo books…
- are a great way to get many of your photos printed
- hold your favourite and most meaningful photos from your session together in one single location
- can include photos you wouldn’t necessarily hang on your walls
- are easy to carry
- don’t require much space
- are great conversation starters
- are easier to look at with family and friends than a small phone screen
- give your children and partner the chance to see photos they wouldn’t see if you kept them on your phone or computer
- can be accessed without entering a password
- have no screen time restrictions!
- are a great way to bond with your children
- can be printed in smaller duplicates so your children and parents have their own copies
- make wonderful gifts
- can be passed on from generation to generation
Why trust me with your photo book design?
If you’ve never designed a book, the simple thought of doing it can be overwhelming. Which photos to include? How many? In what order? How to design the book? With what company, program or app? Which paper? What size? What about the cover?
And I’m not even talking about image resolution and bleeds…
I’m a graphic designer and I have tons of experience with page layout and printing. I know the industry jargon and I’m known for my perfectionism and attention to details. Over the years, I’ve done a lot of research, tried and tested various photo labs and book printing companies. I’ve chosen what I believe is the best. What will pass the test of time.
You can touch and feel my various photo book samples when we meet for your initial consultation and the day of your ordering appointment. Each book can be customized with various cover options.
