About Us
Are you a professional photographer who owns your own business? If so, you're likely also a photo editor, publicist, bookkeeper, marketing director, customer service representative, and wear a slew of other hats on any given day. But if you've been in this business for very long, you have quickly learned that you just can't do it all. You need help. And it's just plain smart to outsource some of your tasks - especially the ones you don't LOVE to do - so that you can focus on growing your business.That's where we come in. Align was created by pro wedding photographer, Melissa Jill, to meet the growing need for a fast & affordable album design resource for busy pro photographers like herself. You upload your images and pick your design style. We design your album in 4 business days or less. Then, you and your clients get up to 3 rounds of revisions. Once the design is finalized, you can download the layouts as .jpgs or layered .psds, and send them on to the album company of your choice for printing and binding. Super-simple. Easy-peasy. One less task on your plate.
Let Align free you up to work ON your business, rather than FOR your business.
