New camera...ok, well at least I'M excited!

The man in the Brown uniform just delivered my new baby. Hmmm, that sounds weird...anyway, it's my new Canon EOS 5D digital SLR! I know, I know..."boys and their toys"...but this thing is going to allow me to do things I never could have done before, and that's hopefully going to show in my images for 2006.

For those interested, it has a full-frame 12.8MP sensor which - among many things - will deliver beautiful blurred backgrounds, incredible wide-angle ability, and amazing resolution...just in time to be used in those huge 12"x18" panoramic page spreads in the new Fine Art Book albums!

Another great advantage is it's incredible low-light performance which means I'll be able work a lot more with available light rather that having to resort to flash...and if I can do without that huge flash bracket more often I'll be a happy camper (those of you who've seen me in action, know the thing I'm talking about).

So expect to see even greater images to come for the 2006 season with this new addition to my photographic kit!

Order your albums before March and get 2005 prices!

Ok, the new sample photos and info for the new albums are now online. Take a look in newly renovated Options section to see what's new.

All of my album prices will be increasing for 2006 but I want to give everyone the opportunity to order before the price change takes effect. If you order your album(s) before the end of Feb. 2006, I'll hold the 2005 album pricing, which will save you an average of $200! If you've already ordered your album as part of your package, this doesn't apply...but you may want to think about whether or not you or your family would want duplicates or mini "parent albums".

If you'd like to see the new albums in person, please get in touch with me soon and we can set up a consultation.

New Fine Art Book Albums!!

We've recently started offering a 3rd type of album style which I've called my Fine Art Books. I'm very excited about this new option. It still uses the "flushmount" style of custom designed pages but the book has a very unique fine art feel with softer, more organic matte finish pages which lay perfectly flat when the book is opened. The cover is also a durable textured matte photo cover which would look great on any coffee table or in any bookshelf.

Here are some photos of what the books look like. I'll be including some more photos and info in the Options section of the website soon (I'll post a note here when the final website update is finished)...

Standard 9"x12" Fine Art Book and 6"x8" Duplicate (great for parent albums):


Photo cover that wraps around to the spine and back. All custom-designed!


One thing I just love about these books is that the gutter/seam between the two facing pages is almost invisible! Makes those 12"x18" spreads and panoramic images look amazing!

Major website update

I'm in the process of doing a major overhaul on my website. I've put up all new menu images and 3 new galleries so there are many more photo samples to browse through. The next step is to update the options section with more info and photos of the various package options available such as new album types. Hope you like the changes...
