Heirloom Photo Albums to Preserve Your Best Memories
Ordering professional heirloom photo albums is the difference between capturing moments and preserving your memories. One of my clients, the McHugh’s, recently ordered a gorgeous custom photo album to celebrate their daughter’s first birthday. It was a pleasure saving these busy parents time by turning their new photos right into a beautifully designed album.
Now they can relive this once-in-a-lifetime milestone with their daughter Isla for the rest of their lives.
Client Spotlight: Meet the McHugh’s
Welcome back McHugh family! Stacey and Daryl returned to celebrate their daughter Isla’s one-year milestone. We captured some beautiful baby milestone photos in the fall of 2020 at outdoor sunset sessions. This time, we let their family moments play out in the Reflections natural light studio in Grimsby. We continued their story-in-photos with an heirloom album that Isla and her family will be able to enjoy as she grows up.
What They Wore:
Motherhood is hectic, and your time is so valuable. This is why I take care of everything from start to finish so you can take back precious minutes of your day. I include hair and makeup in your photography sessions, and also give you and your family access to my studio wardrobe collection so you don’t have to worry about coordinating it.
For this photo session, Stacey and I chose a beautiful neutral palette of sage green, grey and ivory. We dressed Stacey in alternating green and white maxi dresses to coordinate with Isla’s sweet dresses:
How They Preserved Their Memories:
After I saved Stacey all that time upfront by coordinating their wardrobe, I helped her save more time afterward by designing a custom heirloom photo album for her. Now they have the perfect collage of photos that showcase the moments they’ve loved most of Isla’s first year (giggles, smiles, snuggles and that bare bum!)
This means…
No frustrating online shopping for photoshoot outfits
No uploading photos into an online album maker for hours and hours
No printing outdated photos at a kiosk two years later
What would you do if you gained this much extra time back in your life?
Why Order an Heirloom Photo Album?
As a seasoned memory keeper for many families over the last 15 years, I have seen the special kind of joy that photo albums bring to my clients and their families time and time again.
I’m a mother of four myself, so I can attest that having photo albums around the house has created so many memorable evenings of reminiscing, storytelling, and being together. Psychologists agree that when it comes to making memories as children, practicing nostalgia and creating memories together as a family is so important.
One of the best things you can do for you and your children is ordering photo albums that you can flip through together on birthdays, when they graduate and move away to college, or get married. It’s an investment in family memories that actually creates more family memories every time you look back at them.
“Because your memories aren’t disposable. They’re once-in-a-life-time moments that deserve to be captured and preserved with love.”
You Shouldn’t Have to Choose Between Wall Artwork and Photo Albums:
With photos on your walls, you can reinforce good family memories every day. But there is only so much wall space you can cover with photos before your home starts to feel cluttered. This is where your albums come in. After you’ve selected several photos to update your gallery wall with, then I’ll help you curate the rest into a beautiful assortment of memories that can showcase your family’s dynamics and children’s personalities with more depth and range:
Read This Before You Try to Make Your Own Album:
You know some people who have tried to DIY their own photo albums, but you’re worried about wasting time and money on a product that won’t deliver the quality and customizations you want. (Or worst of all, giving up halfway through and letting your USB sit in a drawer never to be seen again.)
Mama, you don’t need that kind of stress in your life – waiting in line at kiosks, online software with slow loading times, and trying to decide on template designs you don’t even like.
After you’ve invested in professional family photography, you can maximize the value of it by ordering a custom, Canadian-handcrafted heirloom album at your Image Reveal session.
When you order an album at your Image Reveal, you’re saying yes to:
Spending more time just enjoying the moments of your family life
Reliving memories of your children’s early years when they’re grown up
Watching your kids delight in seeing themselves when they were little
Order your own custom heirloom album to pass on to your children, so you can feel safe knowing that your precious memories are well-preserved.
Conclusion:
Doing your photography right the first time means turning your photos into professional heirloom products you can savour throughout your life. We might have the power to take hundreds of photos a day, but if we don’t give ourselves the joy of actually cherishing and reliving them, then we lose out on the true magic that photos hold.
“The perfect photo is intentionally made, thoughtfully selected and is turned into art with quality materials.”
