Fort Myers Photographer, Set Free Photography http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/eye-candy-albums-fort-myers-photographer-set-free-photography/ http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/eye-candy-albums-fort-myers-photographer-set-free-photography/#comments Tue, 20 Sep 2011 14:07:29 +0000 stacy http://www.setfreephotography.com/blog/?p=3177 Good morning! Today, I am sharing some of our beautiful products with you in the form of wedding albums. I love love love the satisfaction of holding a beautiful album in my hand and carefully turning each page…the feel of the paper, the moments relived, the smell of leather…it is transcendent. I have two styles to share today: first up, our custom photo cover book featuring Jen and Brian. When they chose their cover image, I did a very rambunctious happy dance!

And the timeless leather cover book featuring Lisa & Carlos…I am in love with these thick, rounded pages, and the library book spine. My favorite thing about this specific leather choice is that no book will ever look the same, as it will take on it’s own character due it’s hand finished aging technique.

I hope your eyes have enjoyed perusing the beauty of hand-crafted, finished artwork. Thank you for stopping by!
Love,
Stacy

I was really excited to work with Piper’s super savvy Mama on creating a coordinated collection with her maternity photos and Piper’s newborn photos. It all started with Piper’s baby announcement, and from there we stayed consistent with the cover design to match her album design and mini accordion books as well. It’s all fabulous!

Here is the front of the announcement, and the mini accordion books:

Next, the awesome album, which combined maternity and newborn photos:

The album is beautifully and simply designed with double page spreads and thick, rigid pages:

And the icing on the cake: a beautiful Organic Bloom frame for above Piper’s crib:

You will see Piper on the blog again in a few months as we will shoot her 6, 9, and 12 month photos and combine her first year into an album. Stay posted!

About that amazing frame: We are proud to be an Organic Bloom vendor, and are happy to provide more information on the available frames. Email Stacy: stacy@setfreephotography.com for a list of sizes, colors and prices. Check them out on facebook, too!

Piper & Georgia: you know I love you, you two fabulous fashionistas!
Love,
Stacy

Wahoo! A grand opening is in the works, as well as a complete photo shoot of the entire place…until then…I hope you enjoy a little peek:

This is one of my favorite shots…this lamp is the FIRST thing that I bought for the studio. The color pallette started with the lamp shades, and everything fell into place after that…if you look closely, you can see the entire place.

Thank you for reading the blog today and for all of the support we have received in our latest adventure! We are very excited to share our new digs with you and who knows? maybe you will find a picture of you (or your baby) on the walls!

Lots of Love,
Stacy

I love this keepsake for high school seniors–it has a magnet closure, and room for up to 14 images. I wish I had one from back in the day! Class of 1995 would have rocked these books, baby!

Here is how the 4×8 stacks up next to the 3×3–I thought a little perspective was needed to appreciate the difference in size.

Thanks for checking out the blog today!
Love, Stacy

My sweet bride & groom, Jaclyn & Daniel, recently sent me one of theirs–it looked great! They included a photo from their engagement session and I was most impressed. I found a few examples on the Magnet Street website:


All engagement sessions include one digital image for use in your engagement announcement, save the dates, facebook profile..whatever you desire!

Visit the wedding site for examples of some gorgeous engaged couples!

And in the name of all things random, here is a photo I just snapped approximately 13 minutes ago. My new friend Robert gave us some starfruit…yum!

Thanks for stopping by the blog!

For several months, I have been narrowing down the choices and ordering samples to share with you (and include in my wedding packages).

First, the Wedding Book makes it’s debut! Printed & assembled in Italy, the quality of this album is unsurpassed. The luxurious silk cover is like oh so decadent icing on a cake (I don’t why I always make food references…hmm).

The pages are rigid and the layout allows full-page spreads with no break in your photo (hooray!). This book includes 30 spreads (60 sides) and around 165 images. I must say that to truly appreciate this album, you have to feel it with your own hands!

The Coffee Table Book is a 10×10 hinged page book with 20 pages…you have seen this type of book before as a family album but I have added the element of design.

The design is subtle, elegant and matches the color scheme of Pam’s wedding. I also have coordinating accordion book templates, 5×5 book templates & cards (thank you cards, save the date cards or engagement announcements). I love to c-o-o-r-d-i-n-a-t-e!

I will have several more album options coming soon, so stay posted on Wedding Wednesdays!
Thank you for stopping by the ol’ bloggy blog…remember to subscribe in order to be notified when I post something new.
