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!

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 album design was a DREAM to create.  
 
1 -- Stunning images by Oregon and Seattle-based Rick Andrew Baleros of Iron & Rye  
2 -- Rick sent us only his very favorite images and gave us the freedom to select what did and did not fit. 
3 -- Rick GIFTED this album to the client! How sweet!? We loved being a part of that! 
 
Do you offer engagement albums? I feel like they should be more of a thing!  
 
This album was also printed by us as an Align Legacy Book -- 8x8 with thin pages and a linen cover -- and ended up costing Rick less than $100 to print. So super-affordable for an engagement album! 
 
Here are a few of our favorite spreads from this stunning design:

Ahh!! We love it so much!! Click through the slideshow to see the full design! 
 
 
 
Thank you Rick for allowing us to work with your beautiful images!

Wedding albums are our JAM, but we love when we get the chance to change things up and design other kinds of albums! It's SO much fun to work with images from engagement sessions, styled shoots, newborn photos, family portraits, bar/bat mitzvahs, senior portraits, pet portraits, boudoir sessions, guest books, and more! Our Simple Design Style (which has an average of 2-3 images/spread) is perfect for portrait albums.  
 
So we were giddy when Michele with one L asked us to design an engagement sample album for this stunning mountain engagement session right outside of Vail! And to top it off, the session included a cute pup! Scenic views combined with Michele's insane talent made this design a winner from the start! 
 
Here's a peek at this dreamy engagement album:

If you want to add engagement albums to your offerings, just remember -- you can't sell it if you don't show it! Getting a beautiful sample album that you are proud to show off to clients is KEY! To get started creating your own sample album, click here!

We're never going to get tired of designing wedding albums, but we have to admit that we get a little bit excited when we get to branch out and design other kinds of albums! It's SO much fun to work with images from engagement sessions, senior portraits, pet portraits, styled shoots, newborn photos, boudoir sessions, family portraits, bar/bat mitzvahs, guest books, and more! Our Simple Design Style (which has an average of 2-3 images/spread) is a great fit for portrait albums.  
 
So you can imagine how thrilled we were when Kate Mannella asked us to design a Simple Style album for this adorable Cincinnati engagement session! Kate is a talented Ohio-based wedding photographer who is a dream to work with, and she made the process even sweeter by sharing photos of the finished KISS Books album with us!
