One of my favorite products to create for my clients is an annual family portrait album. This is usually a 12x12 inch lay flat album that holds up to 80 photographs from the session. Each page is archival matte paper so that the photographs take
on a fine art quality.
The covers of the albums are often faux silk or linen and can be embossed with whatever words you want on the cover. I take great care to design the layout of every album with a timeless style. For me this means a clean layout with no colored
backgrounds, drop shadows, tilted images, key lines, overlapped images or funky experiments that can really date a book.
A clean layout where every photograph has breathing space and every spread has a symmetrical design means that your album will look as fresh in 50 years or 100 years as it does today.
