Life has kind of gotten in the way of my "Session with Seuss" photobook but I have made some progress. I've decided to add in some stories along with the photos. Seuss is such a character that I think he's the horse version of Marley so I think this project just might be a neat way to capture a little bit about the life of Seuss.
I'll have to keep you in suspense as to what the words say. Once I get the album done, I will post it in a readable format. Stay tuned!
A couple of weeks ago, I did a portrait session with Parker in order to do a photo album for his "dad". Well, here's the finished album. The album is 8.75 x 10.25" and holds 20 5x7" prints. The albums are made out of very high quality materials and are completely archival. I particularly like the linen cover and picture window on the front.
For Parker's album, we chose to go with a red album as many of the images from his session included a big red ball - so it was a great visual tie-in.
It's taken a while to go through all the images from our recent trip but, at the request of friends & family, I've finally managed to put together an album.
The photos in this book were taken over a one-week period in Vancouver and Tofino in mid-February. As you can see, we didn't experience any of the usual rainy weather we were promised. Instead, it was 7 days of sun and about 10 degrees C the whole time.
This is an example of the photo albums I am now offering photo session clients. The books are gorgeous with a very high end feel to them. They are 10x10" with a fully printed hard cover. The pages are varnish coated to give them a real coffee table book feel.
Here's a virtual version of the album:
If you don't have the right plug-in, or are browsing from an iPhone, here's a couple more still images from the book (though I definitely encourage you to get the right plug-in and check out the virtual album):

I'd love to hear which images are your favourites! It was really hard for me to pick which ones to include here so I always find it interesting to hear what other people like best. Let me know what you think...leave a comment here or shoot me an email at kerry@silverliningphoto.ca
I've started to put together a coffee table book of our trip out west. I am so in love with these books - despite it being a very intense process to try to narrow down the images, sort them and then drop them into a custom layout, the end result is totally worth the effort.
These albums make it so much easier to share pictures with family and friends. And because the layouts are free-form, I can add in notes, graphics and photos in whatever pattern I think suits the images I have selected. I have a terrible memory so being able to add in some details while I can remember is a very good option. Despite the best of intentions, I am also guilty of having boxes of unsorted vacation photos so this is a much more efficient option.
Here's a sample double page spread to give you an idea of where I am going with this project. These images are from Vancouver. The text on the lower right side explains the images a bit more - on the right page is an image of the sea wall in Stanley Park, a view of the downtown from our hotel, and a shot from Granville Island. On the left page is a view of North Vancouver from Stanley Park.
The finished album will be a 10x10" hardcover book. Right now I am planning that it will be 40 pages - so brace yourself!
I'll share a few more pages as I get them done and once I get the album finished, I'll put the interactive version here as well.
