A year of the family, bound once.
Family sessions end in a gallery that disappears into a phone. An album of the year, or of a single session, is the version that stays at home and gets handed down.
Why the album sells
Photographs from a session tend to stay in a gallery or on a phone. An album gives the session a destination, and a reason for the family to come back next year for the second volume.
What changes for this job
- Use the 25 × 25 cm size: a full-bleed portrait holds a page on its own.
- Order several copies in one go. The cart takes up to twenty copies of an album, so grandparents can have their own.
- Keep it to one to three photographs per spread so each portrait gets a page.
- Fabric covers suit a family book that gets handled often, and leather ages with every hand that opens it.
A workable flow
Upload the whole session, Auto Build groups by when each frame was taken, and you tidy the order. The client link lets the parents review without an account, and approval is one button.
Wedding photographers
A professional already took out everything weak, so the album is the edit that nobody else can make.
Newborn and maternity photographers
A short session, a baby that changes in a week, and parents who will want to hold the book.
Graduation and senior photographers
The only person with photographs of the last four years is the graduate, and the date is not negotiable.
