Albums!

I just want to introduce everyone to the albums we offer here at Rebecca Watkins Photography. We've dealt with several album companies, and the quality of Pictobooks has not been matched. Their service and quality is top of the line, and I am speechless every time I receive an album. I only offer the best to my clients, and their product is THE BEST.To be honest, these photos do not do the albums justice, but until we meet here is your preview:

 I offer 3 different album types. I'll talk about the specifics of each, but here is what they ALL come with: -Flush-mount panoramic printing on all pages -Premium archival materials -Protective velvet slip cases -Protective album boxes -A lifetime warranty

The Signature Album is elegantly wrapped in genuine leather and suede. It is uniquely tailored with cut outs that showcase the unique two-tone graphics. Mix and match your choice of genuine leather and suede to create your one of a kind album. There are several cover designs to choose from. It comes with a matching decorative and protective case. The album also features rounded corners and a rounded spine. You do have the option of displaying one of your favorite images on the front by ordering a cameo. (Size 12" x 12" with 40 pages-- 65 to 85 photos.)

You're also able to order a matching 5x5 mini-album with your Signature album.

 

The Heritage Album is impressive with several cover options. Wrapped in premium faux leather and can be customized by adding a photo cameo of any shape or size. It has the basic square corners and flat spine. It comes with a matching protective case. (Size 10" x 10" with 40 pages-- 65 to 85 photos.)

The Basic Album is the smallest and most simple album. It can feature a cover monogram or a cover pattern and is wrapped in suede or faux leather. It comes with a basic black protective case. (Size 8" x 8" with 32 pages-- 50 to 65 photos.)

 

There is also the opportunity to order a matching Parent Album with any of these albums. A parent album includes the exact same photo layout and amount of pages. It is wrapped in the same main cover material and is 8" x 8". It comes with the basic black protective case. They're great gifts for family and friends.

FAQ- What to Wear?

Fall Portrait sessions are starting up, and I've been asked "What should I wear?" several times now. Every single time I refer them to these blogs:

(click the images to go to the blog posts)

Both of those blog posts are great resources to look at.

My two VERY basic rules of thumb are: 1) BE COMFORTABLE! You may think you look snazzy squeezing into those jeans, but in the end your discomfort will be written all over your face in the photographs. 2) AVOID LOGOS/CARTOONS! Your daughter's Dora the Explorer shirt may be the cutest thing in the entire world, but it won't photograph well. Also, those cartoons/characters are dated. You don't want to be looking at those photos 10 years from now asking yourself who is that girl on her shirt? This also applies to logos.
