Product Spotlight - Our updated heirloom albums

I’m so excited to share this new upgrade to our ever-popular heirloom albums. Heirloom albums are some of my favorite products to create with my families, because they’re such a tangible way to tell your story that will be passed on for years to come. This year I started working with a new lab to offer even more cover choices to families when designing their albums, and I'm absolutely in love with the gorgeous linens and leathers that they offer. So, I wanted to take a few minutes today to show you a great look at our updated heirloom albums!

One of the best parts of designing these albums is knowing that my families love them. I hear stories all the time about how they keep their albums on low shelves or coffee tables so they can look through them often with their children. It's a keepsake meant to be treasured now and passed down many years from now. I say this from experience, too! Grayson loves pulling our family albums down off our living room built-ins and I love watching him thumb through our story. I loved it so much, I actually designed our built-ins to be wide enough to fit our ever growing pile of albums! That’s what I want for your family! I want to help you design a unique, one-of-a-kind album that you’ll cherish for years to come.

Here’s what makes our new heirloom albums even better:

10x10 Albums

I love 10x10 heirloom albums because they’re the perfect size to hold in your hands and spread open on your lap! Grayson does this all the time with our family albums! Because they’re not too large, the albums don’t feel too big or bulky. But, they're still the perfect size so that you can clearly enjoy your favorite portraits while turning the pages!

Crafted by hand with archival materials

Your heirloom album is meant to stand the test of time. It will look beautiful now, and after many years of turning the pages with your little ones and reliving these memories, it will look beautiful decades from now when you pass it down to your children and they bring these keepsakes into their own homes one day.

Thick, layflat pages printed on photographic paper

These sturdy pages are easy for little hands to turn! And, you never have to worry about torn or lost pages. Trust me, they won’t move! I also love that this paper and the semi-matte finish ensures little fingerprints aren't an issue.

Cover materials include European linens, genuine Italian leathers, vegan leathers, and suede!

When you think luxury album, you definitely think about the cover materials. These heirloom albums are offered in a variety of gorgeous colors and textures that will blend seamlessly with your home's decor!

Custom designed, just for you!

We use your favorite portraits from your session to tell a story that flows across the pages. You'll even get to be involved in the design process and see what your album will look like before we send it to print! I love this part, honestly - it’s always fun to see which images will highlight your story the best.

A note for my past clients with albums:

I still adore the albums that we created for your family, and if you'd like your new albums to match your previous albums, we can definitely do that for you! Most (though not all) of our old linen colors are still available from our other professional photo lab, as well as the custom image cover that wraps around the spine. The new albums are the same size and have a similar profile to our previous albums, so they will all sit side-by-side beautifully on your shelf whether you opt for the updated albums or the previous versions that we've been offering and that families have loved for the past 8+ years.
