What are StoryBook Albums?

The StoryBook album is our specialty. Since the concept is a bit difficult to explain verbally, please take a look at some real samples...

How does this differ from a traditional album?

Traditional albums were based on a selection of mats with one, two, or sometime a few more "cut-outs" into which printed images were mounted. Although the album companies tried to be creative, they could only offer a limited number of variations, and most photographers stocked only a small subset of those. This led to two things: (a) a very limited number of images in an album, and (b) a rather repetitive presentation.

We will still create a "traditional" style album for you if that's what you want, but we improve on it somewhat by eliminating the mats and cut-outs. Instead, we create the traditional image frames digitally within a flush mount album, using a consistent page background color (often black or white).) This allows a greater amount of creativity and customization since we are not restricted to particular image sizes or placement.

Please note that all parent albums are created in the traditional style.
