Sneak Peek - Baby Girl Album

I couldn't resist posting this layout. I'm working on a baby girl album for a new client. It's a Christmas gift for her hubby and chronicles the birth of their daughter exactly one year ago (today!). I am having such a wonderful time working with the gorgeous photos she sent to me. I guess I really have a soft spot for baby layouts!

I also just completed a 20-page photobook at KodakGallery.com for another client who requested my photobook-making service (see more details here). It was the first one I'd done at Kodak Gallery and I found their bookmaking process is not as sophiticated (yet) as many others such as Snapfish or Shutterfly. One important thing that's missing is the ability to send people an invitation to view the completed book. What's up with that? I hope the good folks at Kodak Gallery add that particular function. In my opinion, they are missing out on a lot of sales. For example, if my client sent an invitation to relatives and they viewed her book and liked it, they might order their own copy.

Those are just two of the many projects I've been working on over the last couple of weeks. I'm having a wonderful time with it all, and it just adds to the fun knowing that the completed books will be Christmas gifts!

Digital Photo Books - Bookmaking Services by Webajeb

As mentioned in last month's newsletter (sign up here if you don't already receive it), Bookmaking Services by Webajeb is coming!

If you'd love to have one of the many different soft- or hardbound photobooks now being offered by such websites as Snapfish, Shutterfly, Ofoto, Kodak, or MyPublisher, just to name a few, but don't have the time or inclination to work your way through the creation process yourself, we'll do it for you!

We have experience in working with the various photobook services and can save you the time and frustration of learning a new program or process, not to mention the hassle of downloading yet another software program onto your computer.

However, Bookmaking Services by Webajeb needs your help. We are having trouble trying to set a reasonable price for this new service. This is where you come in.

We need volunteers to provide photos and let us go through the creation process at some of the more well-known bookmaking sites. We will create your photo book completely free, then let you know it's out there to view. Whether or not you purchase the book is totally up to you. Here are the sites you may choose from:

Snapfish.com
Picasa.com
Shutterfly.com
MyPublisher.com
KodakGallery.com
Lulu.com
Smilebooks.com
PhotobookMemories.com
Blurb.com

But, hurry and contact us with your choice, because we will create only one book at each site. Once you have chosen your site we will call you to discuss how many photos to send, and other pertinent details.

This is gonna be FUN!
