Stacey was fooled by her closest confidant. She was told they were having a girls’ night out. Little did she know, this was a special day planned in secrecy. It was going to be a day made just for her.

The doors opened and Stacey was met with familiar faces of friends, family and loved ones who had traveled far and wide just to be present to celebrate her recent Master’s degree achievement.

To Diane and James, proud mom and dad, it was as if everything in their lives led them to that moment, and that Stacey’s achievement was their achievement too. Standing there, a photographer tasked to look into this part of the world through my lens, not quite a stranger, not quite family, either – I can say that Stacey’s family was an inspiration – it’s meeting and hearing stories about people like them that continually reaffirms why I do what I do.

awesomeness in a box

September 1, 2009

A few weeks ago, I received a nice phone call from Ashley at Collages.net. “Hello”, she said, “Welcome to Collages.net. How can I help?” We talked about the types of products they offer for photographers like me. She offered to send me a box of samples. Sure, I thought, why not. When I saw the ginormous box from FedEx a few days later, I was blown away. I was expecting just a few prints, fabric/leather samples, catalogs and prices. But nooooo, I found sample albums for just about every type of events, including wedding, maternity, senior, family portraits. Everything I need to offer to my clients!

Ashley followed-up with a phone call the next day to answer all my questions and concerns. Needless to say, they get an A+ for customer service. With their permission, I am sharing some photos I took of their sample products. What can I say, they look like works of art. I had to blog about them. Collages.net produces impeccable products. Their albums have:

Excellent lay flat properties
Smallest page seam in the industry at less than 1 mm
Over twenty colors
Handcrafted leather covers
Square, panoramic, and rectangular photo album sizes
Customizable album options, including cameo cover, embossing options, and spine hubs
High-quality presentational packaging includes a pillowcase slipcover

I am happy to announce that I am officially offering Collages.net fabulous Albums and Photo Books. This awesome company had me at, Hello.
