COLOUR & TEXTURE

Fabrics & cover materials

Explore the colours and textures that could become part of your book. We can explore other colours and fabrics while keeping your chosen collection cover, or find a material for your bespoke design. The lettering finish depends on your cover material; I’ll confirm the available finishes before we finalise the design.

THE PROCESS

From photographs to a book

We’ll begin with a conversation about what you’d like from your book, including the people and the parts of the day that matter most to you. This process is the same whether your book is included in your photography package or ordered separately.

01

Choose your book

Choose your size and page count. A 50% payment confirms the order; books purchased with a photography package follow its payment terms.

02

Selecting the photographs

You can mark your favourites in your gallery, or leave the initial selection to me. Either way, our conversation will help guide the photographs I bring into the first design.

03

I design the pages

I personally design the pages, working out which photographs belong together, which need space of their own and how the book flows.

04

Review your proof

View your book online and leave comments. One consolidated round of interior-layout revisions is included.

05

Choose your cover

Choose a material and a collection cover, personalised with your names and date, or commission a bespoke cover. We’ll select a lettering finish that suits your material.

06

Approve for print

Once you approve the layout and cover, we send to print! I’ll confirm production timing and arrange delivery to your door.

The interior-layout revision is separate from the two refinement rounds included with bespoke cover design.

Let’s make your book

Tell me a little about the book you have in mind. If you’re still choosing a size, cover or material, we can work through the options together.
