COLLAGE BOOKS

Another favorite book of mine is a collage type layout, which I custom design. These are popular for family shoots, engagement shoots and for those fun photos of kids. This book is available with a Hardcover or with a Soft Cover. Available in assorted sizes. These books are great as coffee table books for your home or you can start a small library of your kids yearly birthdays/events. There are so many different options for them.

COLLAGE BOOK: (large Hardcover - Linen Cover with Photo - 8 1/2" X 11")


Here is a book I designed with some photos of my niece, Madyson. These images were from her birthday party and a few were from Madyson at Easter. I did a very simply layout, because I felt like the photos should be the main focus and I knew they would be bold enough without fancy borders and overlapping. As you can tell Madyson got a new Barbie jeep and couldn't be happier about this. She expressed her happiness by SCREAMIN' at the top of her lungs for about 20 minutes straight, which I thought was hilarious. To her left is Avery, who was very poised and posed for my camera. Still Madyson never missed a beat...screaming & laughing and screaming & laughing....hummmm, reminds me of how I feel much of the time. She was too cute and I am glad I was able to snap these priceless photos. I am sure I will torment her with them in later years, when she insists she was not a handful...ha.ha. What energy this child has, I am very blessed to have her in my life. She reminds me that it is ok to have a free spirit.






I have also used these as guest sign in books with photos from engagement shoots. Instead of having a plain boring book with pages of lines that people simply write their name on, you can do a "Guest Sign-In Photo Book". I take your favorite images from the engagement shoot and leave plenty of white space for people to sign and write you short notes. It is a really cool photo book and a great way to remember all the guests that were at your wedding. Allowing them to share "their thoughts" or "their love" in this book makes it more personal and something you will treasure forever. I will be posting some photos of another Guest Photo Book that I currently have ordered. It was from my last engagement shoot and the images are so powerful & dramatic. I can't wait to share.

Have a blessed day~cass
