Digital Photo Books

One of my first "adventures" into the world of digital photo books was creating a wedding album for myself. We gave each set of parents an album for Mother's Day and both of them enjoyed sharing it with family and friends. The benefit of creating my own book is that I was able to use photos not only from the professional photographer (which I thought were great), but also from friends who captured unique moments and angles as well. Below are some still shots of various pages. You can see how many ways I can manipulate the photos to use in different ways.
This book measures 8.5 x 11 inches and is hardcover with a personalized dust jacket with the printed title and large photo. The images above are photos taken of the book which is why there is a small glare.



These photo books are professionally printed and are a beautiful way to document your family vacation, big birthday party, family reunion or wedding. I have done a lot of scrapbooking in the past, but now that I have started designing these digital photo books, I don't know when I will go back to paper, scissors and tape.

70th Birthday Celebration

Below is a video I created for my father-in-law's birthday this past Spring. I am in the process of uploading work I have done to this blog and this is my starting point. Unfortunately, due to file size restrictions put in place by Blogger, the photos aren't as clear as they appear on the DVD because I had to reduce the file size in order to post.
