Last week I got a little present in the mail…. my new Finao sample album arrived!! After our shoot with Dana, I knew I wanted to do a little book of these images. Here are the specs:Company: FinaoSize: 5×7 verticalCover: Bomber Jacket Upgrades: 3×3 cutout on the coverSpreads: 13 I wanted a sample of this smaller size for several reasons….. this size is wonderful for parent albums, engagement shoots, ….and boudoir albums! I also wanted to show one of Finao’s nice leather options. It’s a very high quality product for a reasonable price. Album cost info:Starting price $225 + $90 for 3 extra spreads @ $30 each (minimum is 10) + 25 for 3×3 cutout = $340 Included in this price is also a custom bag for storage & protection. Pictures of them are coming soon! Here are both our Finao samples together. The larger one is our 12×12 sample with 2 tones, 3 3×3 cutouts and 15 spreads.  ** Remember, when you book your wedding with us, you have the option to commit to purchasing an album following your wedding…. if you do, you get a 10% discount!

It’s Wednesday! Which means the day-job week is winding down…. YAY! I wanted to do a little post reminding everyone about holiday deadlines…. eeek! It’s not even Thanksgiving, and there’s already a lot of deadlines for the holidays coming up quickly! If you’d like a Finao Album, contact me ASAP!!! Their deadline is MONDAY to submit orders and have them in time for Christmas (or before 2011 hits) If you’d like a KISS Wedding Book, you have a little more time…. but not much! December 1st is the cutoff for orders. If you’d like a canvas print, the deadline to get it by Christmas is November 29th (my birthday!!) …… Remember, it takes hours to complete an album design so please be courteous and contact me before deadline day 🙂 I’ll leave you with this little guy…. he was hanging out on the dunes before our Wrightsville Beach shoot started 🙂

When deciding to offer canvases I weighed out the different vendors….. on a spreadsheet of course! In the end of a tough battle Simply Canvas won, and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve always heard fabulous things about them, and thrilled that they are now my supplier. After 2nd shooting a wedding a few weeks ago, I decided that one of their images would make a great sample canvas… so I got to ordering! On Monday it arrived, and it’s so pretty! It’s sprayed with a special UV protectant to prevent fading & cracking. They come in a huge selection of sizes, this one is a 16×24. Here are a few images of it. 1.5″ thick. It comes pre-wired, ready to hang! Image from Kasey & Andrew’s Kinston, NC wedding, shot for Renee Sprink.
