Right now we're in the middle of the pre-Christmas rush. You too, we know! The traffic is heavier on the roads, and faster and more aggressive. The malls are packed, the couriers run off their feet.

They were both always so bubbly and full of life – I remember thinking if they ever got married how I’d love to be their wedding photographer. "Fast forward a few years and I received To View More >>

To accommodate this, you can now purchase Studio Boxes and/or Slip-in mats in bulk, in Workspace. Studio Boxes and Mats also come a little cheaper when ordered in bulk, with the discount automatically applied at check out. Studio Boxes: The minimum quantity To View More >>

Less is more Rachel: Unclutter your design. It’s simple. Let the key images and high quality materials of an album speak for themselves. If you notice the design, it’s taking precedence over the images – good design is effortless. Simon: If the design is loaded with images the hero shots can be lost among a forest of images. By keeping the image selection minimal, you’ll free up space and make the rest To View More >>
