			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since I shared an album design!  Lauren couldn&#8217;t decide which images to pick for her senior book, so she let me make all the creative decisions!  Very fun for me, of course!</p>
<p>First up, Lauren&#8217;s book cover, designed by Dan:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/0000.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The opening page.  She was so relaxed from the first moment we started shooting!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/0001.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/0203.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t usually do funny overlays or anything like that in my designs, but the little series below just begged to be put together that way!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/0405.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Yes.  This girl is in high school.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/0607.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/0809.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/1011.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/1213.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/1415.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The very center of the senior book gets lost to the book&#8217;s binding, so I like the idea of filling it with a more abstract image.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/1617.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/1819.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>And, of course, the final photo had to be a shot of Lauren and her mom!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2009/albums/seniorlauren/2000.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&#8230;sigh&#8230; I love my job!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.almasyphoto.net/?p=260"><strong><big>Elli and Jason</big></strong><big></big></a> swung by on Tuesday to pick up their Art Album.  It was fun to give it to them in person; usually we have to ship albums since so many of our couples live out of state or travel constantly for work.  It also didn&#8217;t hurt that the four of us snagged a mid-afternoon beer break after oohing and aahing over the album!  Gotta love self-employment&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.almasyphoto.net/?p=120"><strong><big>Ashley and Josh</big></strong><big></big></a> got married in 2007, and it was so fun to go back to their photographs and create an album for them!</p>
<p>Ashley and Josh are our FIRST recipients of our brand new Art Album!  The Art Album is nearly identical to our Signature Album, with a gorgeous liquid laminate finish on the pages (to prevent peeling) and lay-flat binding (so you get large, panoramic layouts).  The Art Book is great if you&#8217;re looking for thinner pages (which allows MORE pages in an album), and a slightly lower price point.</p>
<p>Here is Ashley and Josh&#8217;s laser-engraved faux-leather cover:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2008blogimages/design/albumashleyjosh/101.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Thin, pliant pages:</p>

<p>Lay-flat binding:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On October 11th, this little book will signed by all of Allison and Jeff&#8217;s family and friends attending their wedding celebration!  Before it&#8217;s full of notes and signatures, we wanted to share a few photos.</p>
<p>The jacket front:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2008blogimages/design/guestbookallisonjeff/66941.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The jacket back:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2008blogimages/design/guestbookallisonjeff/66961.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The art cloth cover:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2008blogimages/design/guestbookallisonjeff/66981.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>And a few interior spreads:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2008blogimages/design/guestbookallisonjeff/67001.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2008blogimages/design/guestbookallisonjeff/67021.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.almasyphoto.net/images/2008blogimages/design/guestbookallisonjeff/67041.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>These books are great because the thick linen-textured paper is easy to write on, and is almost impervious to bleed-through.  The pages are scored to lay flat easily, too, so no breaking the spine!  And of course, everything is acid-free and archival, so as long as your book doesn&#8217;t take a swim in your pool or become your dog&#8217;s new favorite chew-toy, it should be around for many happy years!</p>
