There’s something timeless and grounding about holding your memories in your hands.
And this newborn heirloom album, crafted for baby Callahan and his beautiful family, is the perfect example of how powerful that can be.
This was their second baby, two gorgeous boys now filling their home with the kind of love (and chaos!) only siblings bring. Their session overflowed with tender moments. Big brother was adorably gentle one minute, and full toddler energy the next. And baby Callahan, just five weeks old, was an absolute joy.
A Keepsake That Fits Into Their Story
When we talked about how they wanted to remember this season, it was clear: they wanted something intentional. Something tangible that would sit proudly alongside their wedding album and tell the next chapter of their family’s story.
They chose a premium leather cover in Onyx, which features a rich, textured patina that perfectly complemented their existing album. In addition, we added a custom silver foil deboss, bringing a modern, elegant touch to the timeless feel of the book.
Inside, we created a beautiful balance of family moments, connection, and detail. One of my favourite spreads features macro images of Callahan’s tiny lips, fingers, and toes. Even though those details change quickly, this album preserves them forever.
The Design Process
After their session, we curated their favourite images and worked together in a design meeting to bring the story to life.
I always begin with an initial layout, crafted to flow naturally and emotionally. Then, together, we tweak the design until it feels just right.
As part of the process, families can choose from a wide range of cover materials, personalisation options, and design styles. That way, the final album always feels completely yours.
A Work of Art, Built to Last
These albums are not just photo books. Master bookmakers handcraft each one with extraordinary care and artistry, creating heirlooms that stand among the finest in the world.
Here’s why these albums are made to last:
- Archival inks ensure the colours stay true for generations to come
- Fine art paper gives every image depth, richness, and softness
- LayFlat™ binding allows your images to flow seamlessly across pages without interruption
- And the craftsmanship? It’s museum-grade. Meant to be passed down, not packed away
From a Session to a Family Heirloom
Watching digital files transform into something real; something you can pull off a shelf years from now that still brings tears to your eyes.
Because this isn’t just for you. It’s for your children. And one day, their children.
