There are two types of photographers — those who love the sales process, and the rest of us! Yes, most of us really are shy about sales.

So here are some ideas to boost your album sales without being pushy or sales-y. To sell but stay true to yourself. To leave your clients feeling they've been listened to while consistently delivering beautiful wedding albums to them.  By the way, these ideas will work with all product sales — To View More >>

There's something so special about homestyle photoshoots. I love how they capture the people in the photographs – this one of Libby, Katie and Bradley by Megan Graham is no exception. When we spoke to Megan about the album she responded with, "Libby was so photogenic, and Katie and Bradley were awesome to photograph first thing on a Saturday morning! We were under the watchful eye of their cat Ed the entire time, who made sure we looked after little Libby. It was such a fun session."  Katie and Bradley ' chose an 8x8 portrait album with a simple Carbon Buckram cover with Bank Gothic To View More >>

The festive season is a great time to promote yourself and let your clients know how much you appreciate them. There's no doubt that photographs make fabulous personal gifts, especially in a nice mat, frame or canvas.  Personal touches, and adding value to packages, are good ways to have an impact without breaking the bank. 1. Give something away! Everyone loves a freebie. This could be a loose or matted print, or even a Canvas.

We got a call from the Bindery team, who were blown away by Erin from Acorn Photography's new sample album. After seeing it ourselves we knew we had to ask Erin if we could share it... "Chelsea and Kirk tied the knot with a beach wedding in Thailand,"   says Erin. "The day was filled with partying under palm trees, and dining on the beach. And at the end of the night everyone, still dressed in their finery, spontaneously jumped into the pool." “The next day we were inspired to try it again and embraced the ‘drown the gown’ movement. Chelsea looked ethereal in her To View More >>

Located off the shores of Puerto Vallarta Mexico, lies an exclusive private island that happened to be the perfect spot for Chloe and Nate's memorable rehearsal dinner. The talented Justine Ungaro, based in California USA, was there to capture their Mexican extravaganza. Chloe and Nate's wedding followed suit the day after. Both events have been beautifully presented in Queensberry albums. This album is a real gem, and I think you'll agree! A translucent title page is that little extra that makes the album unique and personal. Our Duo albums are dynamic and distinctive. Duo To View More >>
