			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may have noticed I added a new <a href="http://heathergarland.com/blog/albums/">album</a> page. I decided it was a great time to add this page since I just received my coffee table sample album and slip cover in. I have been meaning to get these for a while, but as soon as I designed Elyse&#8217;s album I knew I had to order one for me too. </p>
<p>This is the album Elyse ordered:<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1325" title="5" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/5.jpg" alt="5" width="844" height="705" /><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1326" title="21" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/21.jpg" alt="21" width="784" height="650" /></p>
<p>I ordered the exact same inside of the album, just a different cover:<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1327" title="4" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/4.jpg" alt="4" width="844" height="705" /><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1328" title="10" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/10.jpg" alt="10" width="844" height="705" /></p>
<p>I also ordered a dust jacket with this album, it is a gorgeous metallic print:<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1329" title="13" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/13.jpg" alt="13" width="844" height="705" /><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1330" title="11" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/11.jpg" alt="11" width="784" height="650" /></p>
<p>Here are some of the lovely spreads that are in this album:<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1331" title="12" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/12.jpg" alt="12" width="844" height="705" /><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1332" title="111" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/111.jpg" alt="111" width="844" height="705" /><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1333" title="15" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/15.jpg" alt="15" width="844" height="705" /><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1334" title="14" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/14.jpg" alt="14" width="844" height="705" /></p>
<p>I also got an absolutely beautiful slipcover sample from <a href="http://www.chrysq.com/">ChrysQ</a>. These will be an add-on for my coffee table albums and included with all my flushmount albums.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1335" title="9" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/9.jpg" alt="9" width="844" height="705" /><br />
<img src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/7.jpg" alt="7" title="7" width="844" height="705" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1344" /><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1337" title="61" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/61.jpg" alt="61" width="844" height="705" /><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1338" title="3" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/3.jpg" alt="3" width="844" height="705" /><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1340" title="16" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/16.jpg" alt="16" width="844" height="705" /></p>
<p>These slipcovers come in all of these gorgeous covers, or you can upgrade to a premium cover as well.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1341" title="8" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/8.jpg" alt="8" width="844" height="705" /></p>
<p>I hope you enjoy the new albums options, and please check out the brand new albums page. I would love to meet you and show these gorgeous albums to you in person (especially if you love the smell of leather!), they are just lovely. Please contact me for pricing and add-on options, I would love to talk to you about custom designing a perfect album for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I will be writing a whole page about these when I update the site &amp; pricing on January 1st but since I am WAYYY too excited about these new albums.</p>
<p>The first one I want to show you is an 8&#215;8 Coffee Table Album. This particular one is upgraded to black leather with a 4inx8in metal cameo on the front, and one line of imprinting.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-589" title="img_4443-copy" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/img_4443-copy.jpg" alt="img_4443-copy" width="904" height="605" /><br />
Isn&#8217;t it PRETTY??<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-597" title="img_4462-copy" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/img_4462-copy.jpg" alt="img_4462-copy" width="605" height="904" /><br />
This is the metal cameo, in the pictures it looks kind of purple, its not! It is so gorgeous and shiny!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-596" title="img_4460-copy" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/img_4460-copy.jpg" alt="img_4460-copy" width="904" height="605" /><br />
Gorgeous glossy pages!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-595" title="img_4458-copy" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/img_4458-copy.jpg" alt="img_4458-copy" width="904" height="605" /><br />
This is the difference between a flushmount, these album have magazine style pages.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-591" title="img_4448-copy" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/img_4448-copy.jpg" alt="img_4448-copy" width="904" height="605" /><br />
Look at that gorgeous leather! It is beautiful authentic Italian leather!</p>
<p>The second one is my Flushmount Wedding Sample. It is an 8&#215;8 Smooth Black Leather with Platinum accent, one line of spine imprinting, and a 2.5inx2.5in metal cameo.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-601" title="img_4468-copy" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/img_4468-copy.jpg" alt="img_4468-copy" width="904" height="605" /><br />
This is the most gorgeous thing I have EVER seen!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-608" title="img_4480-copy" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/img_4480-copy.jpg" alt="img_4480-copy" width="904" height="605" /><br />
SUPER thick pages!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-603" title="img_4472-copy" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/img_4472-copy.jpg" alt="img_4472-copy" width="605" height="904" /><br />
GORGEOUS Italian Leather!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-602" title="img_4471-copy" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/img_4471-copy.jpg" alt="img_4471-copy" width="904" height="605" /><br />
Amazing Metal Cameo!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-610" title="img_4484-copy" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/img_4484-copy.jpg" alt="img_4484-copy" width="904" height="605" /><br />
The best thing about these albums is they lay flat EVERYWHERE and have no gutter!</p>
<p>Last here is a photo to compare the thickness of these two albums. The Coffee Table book is 20 pages, the album is 30 pages.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-612" title="img_4487-copy" src="http://heathergarland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/img_4487-copy.jpg" alt="img_4487-copy" width="904" height="605" /></p>
<p>Look out for an awesome page on these, and book a consultation to see the Wedding Sample yourself! I promise you will love it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am ordering a sample wedding album in the next few weeks. I have been waiting for the leather the company uses to come back into stock, thus the long wait. I decided to use all of one wedding which no one has seen yet (I will be blogging about that in they next day or so). I wanted future clients/brides/grooms to see how a sample wedding album looks and also be able to see a whole wedding rather than bits and pieces in my portfolio. So please enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know albums are not as popular in this area and a lot of time I get blank stares when I try to explain it. So I am ordering a sample album to show at consultations, but I wanted to make an online example available also.<a href="http://flickr.com/photos/creativelychallenged/sets/72157605942274882/show/"> HERE</a></p>
<p>You can order albums for any session. They have many uses. They work as a photo album to document your children, to remember your senior year, as a wedding album, or a wedding guestbook with your engagement photos or bridal photos. The possibilities are endless and obviously design changes for each occasion. A wedding could be elegant or funky, it is up to the couple. A senior session might be very colorful. A guestbook would leave space blank for signatures and be more simple. I will discuss with each client how they want theirs to turn out. So for my example I included lots of variety from simple to complex, to give you ideas of what you want. There is another resource for inspiration of what you may want for your album <a href="http://albumesque.blogspot.com/">here</a>.</p>
<p>Another resource I wanted to provide is for wedding clients, since they get an album in their packages. Remember you do not get this many pages with your album but you may add extra packages. This is just the most ADVANCED album you can get so you know what you want and what isn&#8217;t very essential.</p>
<p>For reference:</p>
<p>The Basics includes a 30 page, 15 spread album.</p>
<p>Something More includes a 30 page, 15 spread album.</p>
<p>Full Wedding includes a 50 page, 25 spread album.</p>
<p>The list: (these are listed in spreads, not pages)</p>
<p>1 &#8211; Title page &#8211; their favorite photo plus their names and wedding date<br />
2 &#8211; Engagement session (optional)<br />
3 &#8211; More engagement session or bridal session (optional)<br />
4 &#8211; Location shot &#8211; church, church details, sign with their last name, etc.. set the time/place/etc<br />
5 &#8211; Girls getting ready &#8211; makeup, hair, laughing<br />
6 &#8211; Bridal details &#8211; flowers, dress, shoes, garter, etc<br />
7 &#8211; Bride getting put in dress<br />
8 &#8211; Portraits of bride w/ bridesmaids<br />
9 &#8211; Portraits of bride alone<br />
10 &#8211; More portrait of bride alone (optional)<br />
11 &#8211; Guys getting ready<br />
12 &#8211; Guys goofing off in tuxes, waiting for ceremony (optional)<br />
13 &#8211; Portraits of groom with groomsmen<br />
14 &#8211; Portraits of groom alone<br />
15 &#8211; Ring shots<br />
16 &#8211; Ceremony details &#8211; chapel interior, flowers, programs, guests arriving<br />
17 &#8211; Start of ceremony &#8211; bride with dad, walking in, groom&#8217;s reaction, giving away of bride<br />
18 &#8211; Middle of ceremony &#8211; vows, unity candle, usually a really wide shot of the whole area<br />
19 &#8211; End of ceremony &#8211; rings, kiss, exit<br />
20 &#8211; Formal family photos (optional)<br />
21 &#8211; Portraits of wedding party<br />
22 &#8211; Portraits of B&amp;G<br />
23 &#8211; More portraits of B&amp;G<br />
24 &#8211; Reception details &#8211; location, table settings, decor, favors, etc<br />
25 &#8211; Entrance and first dance<br />
26 &#8211; Father/daughter and mother/son dance<br />
27 &#8211; Toasts and cake cutting<br />
28 &#8211; Misc. dancing shots<br />
29 &#8211; Garter/bouquet toss<br />
30 &#8211; Last dance/goodbyes (optional)<br />
31 &#8211; Exit (another photo plus my details)</p>
<p>I hope this clears up any album questions you just might be having, if you have any more feel free to ask me. Also if you think this was helpful enough, tell me and I will put it in the FAQ section.</p>
