To do this, I have to know all the details of the photos. To avoid mistakes, I will typically record our conversation about the specifics as well as make notes on the Photo List. As a precaution, after the pages are complete, I usually type a preview on the computer and have the client proof it for correctness. After the client review, and necessary changes are made I will do the journaling on the actual page. I always have the client sign off on the preview, and I keep it indefinitely.
Some clients prefer to do their own journaling.
In this case, I always make sure to provide two archival-quality writing pens with the final book. Again, it is a gesture that says I am going the extra mile. I always encourage the client to do it quickly, not to put it off. For You as a small home-based enterprise. I obtained a resale license with state tax identification number.
