Oh Happy Day!- {Cleveland Newborn Baby Child Senior Photographer}

A few days ago I got not 1 but 2 packages in the mail that made ma absolutely giddy.  One was my brand new pined after lens, the canon 50mm 1.2L (LOVE IT) and the other was my sample albums for next year.  Oh My Goodness they are incredible.  I tried out Kiss albums because they are top of the line and one of the few companies I could find that do all of their pages on true photographic paper, instead of being press printed.  the downside to press printed is that many time you lose a lot of the clarity and details in the press paper.  I also wanted to go with screened pages  rather than drop in albums because you will never lose or misplace or end up with a crooked print.  These images are here for life and even after being man handled my my 3 year old I just took a dry cloth and wiped his little fingerprints right off.  I also love this company because of the simplicity.  They have 2 different styles, leather or linen, and seven color choices.


 I will preface these photos by saying that I am not a product photographer and if you want to truly appreciate the magnificence of these you have to hold one in your own hands-so stop over and I will be happy to share:)

I ordered 3 different colors and 1 linen and 2 leathers.  They all come in their own cloth bags.


4 inch mini album on top, 8 inch in the middle and 10 inch on the bottom.


My little mini album in apple green leather

The 8 inch leather in red

The 10 inch linen set up as a session album with one image per page, in navy blue.


My mini using the exact same layout as my leather album, just in a smaller size:)

The layout of these is a custom designed "coffee table album" aka multiple photos per spread.


The pages on the leather album are super thick and the album is actually quite heavy.

All of the albums, whether leather or linen, are lay flat pages so you can do full spreads to cover both pages.

My final verdict is I love them and I know you will too:)

My Founding Family...

I owe this gorgeous woman and her just as gorgeous baby a lot of credit for getting my little business off of the ground.  She has gotten more word out about me than I have and she always puts a smile on my face by giving me the best compliments on my pics:)  I got lucky enough to photograph the whole family this time and let me tell you it was AWESOME!  They are so good looking and little Jack is my angel.  He woke up from his nap in the car and leaned right into my arms for a hug.  I LOVE him!  But you will feel the same way too after you check out his baby blues:)  Alana-all I can say is you rock and your little rockstar has the key to my heart.
