How It Works

From the photographs you love to a finished, hand-bound volume of original art.

How Do I Create Them?

If you already have reference images then simply send them to me and I will start your work as soon as scheduled. Working straight through until your volume is complete, this is the fastest way to create your album.

If your little one is newborn, or soon to be, then your album will follow their progress as they grow. This is the most enjoyable way to experience the process of creating your album.

Send me your favourite photos as they are taken throughout the year and your album will grow steadily until complete.

When It’s Finished

A grand reveal, or watch as they are created?

February – Charlie's first teddy

Upon commissioning your album you can choose either a grand reveal once it is complete, or to have regular updates as the work progresses.

If your choice is a grand reveal, then your work will continue silently in the background until complete.

If you choose to have updates, you will receive footage of the work being created every time it progresses.

Video Footage

March – winter jacket

As I progress with your work, every single portrait is captured in stop-motion video giving me the ability to offer you updates as I go (if requested), as well as edit the final footage into a beautiful presentation to share with family and friends.

These videos show exactly how much time and dedication goes into each and every portrait, and look fantastic on digital home photo displays.

Referenced for the winter jacket that suited him so well. Taken by Dad.

A Complete Service Package

Your album will also be accompanied by one or more large (A2) framed portraits.

These beautifully framed works of art are perfect for displaying around your family home.

Additionally, the footage of your work is sent digitally and transferred onto a memory stick. You also receive a digital photo frame for displaying the files – or for gifting to a family member.

The Binding

Hand-crafted leather binding

The binding of your volume of work is also beautifully hand-crafted by my specially selected partners, Hartnack & Co, in Devon. Their range of binding options and quality of craftsmanship is second to none, making them the obvious choice for such a luxury item.

These can be viewed and selected at any time during the creation of your project.

Shipping & Presentation

Delivered to Your Door

Wherever possible, I try and deliver my work personally to ensure that it arrives with you in perfect condition. If you are outside of the UK, a suitable courier is selected once the works are ready.

Presenting Your Gift

You can choose to present the gift up front and involve the recipient in the creation process, or keep it a complete surprise until the volume is finished. We discuss the best approach during our arrangement conversation.

Begin the Conversation

Every album starts with a simple discussion about what matters most to you.
