KISS albums

so we’ve been getting a bunch of new albums in for our fantastic clients, and we couldn’t help but stop and take a whole mess of pictures of them!

for those of you who aren’t in the know, KISS wedding albums are our standard wedding album. these guys are amazing. SERIOUSLY. every time we get a new album in, it takes all our will power to actually send them to our clients and not keep them for ourselves. :P

let us elaborate on a few points of awesomeness:

• KISS albums come in both leather and linen covers. the leather albums are super sturdy and have a 2mm substrate in between every page. linen albums are thinner and sleeker and don’t have the extra substrate between the pages.
• both styles of albums have absolutely NO gutter down the center of the album. that means they can print full bleed, and you won’t lose a single millimeter of photo!
• the print quality is simply gorgeous.
• they keep it simple. and we like that.

and now what you’ve been waiting for - the photos!


we like to make our albums super sexy, and dress them up nice and pretty when they arrive! KISS also provides a
beautiful fabric bag to keep your album nice and pristine!

two examples of the leather KISS, which comes standard in our packages. the white one is a 10 spread album, and the black one is 25 spreads.

the brand new linen KISS!

a comparison of the linen and leather pages. both albums are 25 spreads, so you can easily tell the difference in the page thickness.

not to worry, even though the pages are thinner they are VERY sturdy.

just like the leather albums, the linen albums also print full bleed with no gutter!

and if you’re wondering what a full album design looks like - here is a pre-design we made for lauren&nick!

hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek into the world of albums!

albums, cds and prints - oh my!

so i just wanted to show you guys a couple pictures of all the cool stuff you can get when you order stuff from your session! especially the new albums we have. they are so cool, i have a hard time sending them out to our awesome clients. (tony usually has to pry them from my hands… hehe.)

so without further ado - here’s a couple of shots of laura&david’s guestbook they had made for their wedding.



you can order a sweet leather cover like they did. OR you can get a custom photo cover!


now a few shots of the inside.




and just in case you’re wondering - yes they really do lay completely flat.

pretty sweet right?! i cannot recommend these albums enough. ESPECIALLY for sign-in guestbooks. it makes such an awesome keepsake after your wedding. and plus, what better way for you to show off how amazing you look in your engagement photos, then by putting them on display at your wedding reception!

now what about prints you say? well we if you order any prints 8×10 or smaller, we package them in this snazzy folder so they stay nice and safe on their way to you.


and what about cds you say? check out this puppy!




pretty spiffy right? so what are you still waiting for? ;)

talk to you soon!

it’s spriiinnnggg!

ok, so you probably can’t tell by the weather outside right now, but it’s SPRING! which means warmer days are right around the corner… er, at least i hope so. my favorite thing about spring (besides more sunlight, warmer weather, and the color green) is the SMELL. i love walking outside in the morning and smelling spring. i wish i could capture it and make it into a candle and have a spring-scented house all year round. if anyone has any thoughts about how to do this, please let me know.

spring also means that our sessions are filling up awful fast. how fast, you say? like the flash fast. oh yeah. i went there. so what are you waiting for?

BREAKING NEWS! we’ve added another delaware weekend to our calendar! we’ll be in dover from may 15-17th. so if you live in the first state and would like to get your picture-taking on without paying those pesky travel fees, sign up now!

can’t think of the perfect easter/mother’s day/i’m-so-freaking-happy-it’s spring present? why just get your loved one (or yourself, we don’t judge) a gift certificate good for a session or products with yours truly! email us for all the juicy details.

and because what says springtime better than puppies, enjoy these lovely photos of puppies which aren’t ours.


little miss sophie.


super cool snowball.


the lovely miss sadie. who is actually petrified of my camera and hides when she sees us.

enjoy the (thought of) warmer weather!

new kiss colors

hey there kiddos,

this one is just a general announcement about our albums. in case you haven’t heard, we use the amazingly awesome kiss albums as our standard package album. now, while i could go on and on about the buttery soft leather, the fact that it lays completely flat, or that its pages are 2mm thick - i’m actually here to talk about their new cover colors!

they already offer covers in black, blue, chocolate brown, red and green. today they just announced that they will also start offering white and pink! take a minute to look at the loveliness.


yes, i know. i didn’t think it was possible for them to get any cooler either. but, by george, they did it.

for other cool kiss updates, check out their blog.
