shira berkowitz
custom album designer
Designing an album can be an art for some, but a chore for others. Shira Berkowitz, based out of Wesley Hills, New York, turned her favorite hobby into a career, and uses her creativity and artistic flair to create custom albums for weddings, engagements, bar & bat mitzvas , baby & maternity, and corporate. Most of her clients have been referred to her by other happy clients, and that's the best referral one could ever ask for!
​
Quality and Design should be any client’s main concern when purchasing something they will treasure for years to come. I share these sentiments as much as my clients, therefore I took the opportunity to travel and explore not only the office of the company that prints my albums, but I received a tour of the entire factory. I watched the photos being taken off the printer, hand placed and affixed to the albums. I observed the leather and fabric being cut and measured, as well as watching the custom boxes being handcrafted. I can attest to the heart and soul that goes into each album…they are not mass produced nor is any one album the same as the next.
From a design standpoint, a custom album is not where one drops photos into templates. I take the time to find out about the event, the family, any special situations that should be emphasized (or not emphasized) in your album. I use creativity to blend multiple images into artwork and tell the story of your event through each page.
​
This is your story, and it should be told differently than everyone else’s. ​
