We are DYING over this fun wilderness adventure engagement session in the hills of New Jersey captured by Tori Kelner! Tori's clients chose to relive their first camping trip together for their shoot and it turned out SO GOOD!! 
 
Tori loved this session so much that she decided to create a sample album to show off to other clients and hopefully inspire them to memorialize their engagement shoots in album form! GENIUS! 
 
Tori is super-smart and she also serves as one of our Client Advocates (these two things are likely related). Click here to see a video where she share a little bit about her album process! 
 
Tori was so kind to send us some photos of the finished Miller's album. Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this design:

Ahh! Thank you for sending these photos and allowing us to work with you, Tori! Such a pleasure!

Jean Smith's photos are pure art. So it doesn't take much for us to lay them out beautifully and create a stunning album design with them. But that's exactly what we love about our job -- allowing YOUR images to SHINE!! 
 
We've had the honor of working with Jean's images since 2013 and she also serves valiantly as one of our beloved Client Advocates. Click here to see Jean sharing on video a little bit about her album process. You can also access all of the other designs we've featured of hers there! 
 
This wedding looks like it was a blast. Carefree. Fun bridal party. Portraits on the field of Michigan Stadium. What's not to love!?

This was the first album design we had the pleasure of designing for Brooke Elisabeth -- a wedding, engagement, and high school graduating senior photographer based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota -- and we are SMITTEN. Her work is stunning and this senior session album featuring twin girls definitely made the list of our all time favorites! 
 
Brooke did her homework before submitting her first order with us. She browsed through all of our album design blog posts and took note of which designs she liked then specifically requested the designers who did them. As a result, she had very few revisions to the initial design. The extra time spent up front paid off when she got a design that she loved right out of the gate! 
 
And we love it too! Brooke ordered a 10x10 Align Legacy Book with a Metropolitan linen cover and is using it as her sample album. Can you imagine? Every senior who comes through her doors is going to want one! 
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this design:

Thank you Brooke for sending us photos of the printed album! It was such a pleasure to work with you!

This romantic peachy summer-themed styled shoot was photographed by Las Vegas-based Jaymel Molina at the charming Old Polo Estate, located on 5 acres in the heart of Coachella Valley, just one mile from where the Annual Coachella Fest, Stagecoach, and Desert Trip is held.  
 
And we are DYYYYYING over it! This shoot was also feature on Style Me Pretty. Suffice it to say, it was a dream to work with these images and create this sample album for Jay! 
 
After we finalized this design for him, Jay shared this with us: 
 
"I think the biggest reason why I wanted to outsource the album design process is that I never know what image to use. Most professional labs that offer albums have design software available which make it easy to just drag and drop images, but as a photographer I always want to use the images that I like, not necessarily the ones that actually tell the story of the day. That is why it was important to find an album design company that would help me with this process and save me time." 
 
Brilliant! We love this perspective (obviously!) and were thankful to be brought on board! 
 
Jay was kind enough to send us photos of the printed WHCC album. Here are some of our favorite images/spreads:
