​Step 3

Email me your photos (all of them, even if you choose your own photos) to customalbumdesignbyshira@gmail.com. If the photos have your photographer’s watermark on them, please contact him/her to send you the photos without it. They must be high resolution photos in order to ensure quality printing (300 DPI). If your photographer has sent your photos through a gallery, please make sure to have your log in and password available. Any USB that is mailed should be copied first and retained for your own use.

step 4

Wait for your proof. Once received, you will have the opportunity to make some modifications and photo swaps, as well as discuss different cover options. In order to ensure the ultimate experience, please get back to Shira within the week with all album changes.

step 5

Begin the design process by submitting your non-refundable deposit which will be applied towards your final album. The amount is either 25% of your album purchase but a mininum deposit of $500.. Please inquire how to submit the deposit. A form will be sent to you outlining all of the album options available to you. Once that is submitted, your album creation begins!

Please note that a photo album designer can enhance your photos, but cannot fully compensate for poor photography. If I am uncomfortable with the quality of the photos, I will be happy to make some recommendations that will suit you better.
