i had the pleasure, in january, of attending alt summit to photograph the girls with glasses go to paris party, put on by the lovely summer and brooke, as well as the awesome ladies over at pinhole press. the party was a total hit! see pictures here.
anyway... pinhole press is what i'm talking about here peeps- it's a great database of personalized gifts and items. i had heard of pinhole press from other blogs (like cup of jo) but hadn't ever taken the time to inspect their products. and honestly, when you're talking photos- products and print quality are everything. if not everything, a pretty big deal. i don't just take my work to be printed anywhere. i'm pretty specific and picky. my color has to be spot on. the paper has to be archival. it's got to do justice to the work overall. i've had many a photo from a less-than satisfactory printer and it just doesn't do. so when i saw all of the pinhole press swag at the party- i was impressed. they use great paper. their colors are bright. their books are beautiful. did i need one in my life? you bet! the timing was perfect- and so i created a beautiful book, filled with pictures which i have taken of all of my baby's aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. pinhole press made this real easy with a template for baby's "big book of names and faces." all i had to do was to plug in the photos. (being a photographer comes in handy sometimes).
so here it is- a few of the pages from Emerson's "I am loved" book. and would you know, it arrived on valentines day. xoxo
oh, and just in case you were all wondering- it's a big hit! Emerson LOVES reading his new book!
This is so sweet!! And his cover shot is priceless!!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteoh! We're having our first baby in May and all our family live interstate. This will be perfect for our little one to learn who they are. Hope you don't mind me pinning this so I remember later. (Pinned here: http://pinterest.com/rachelesther/maybe-baby/ )
