Softbound Album

A step up from our press printed book:

Softbound Albums








Softbound Albums provide an efficient and economical alternative to Flush Mount Albums without sacrificing quality. Unlike Flush Mount Albums, Softbound Albums do not have boards between the pages, making them lighter and able to accommodate more spreads in a single book. Pages are precisely cut at the fold and hinged together using tear proof material, resulting in a perfectly flat spread that can withstand wear.

The Softbound Album offers the same level of quality printing and optional image enhancing as a flush mount album, yet in a more economical package. This product is great for parents, budget conscious couples, or as an extra album.

Each Softbound Album comes standard with:
-Beautiful Metallic Full Wrap Photo Cover (no additional charge).
- 24 sides/12 spreads.
-Printed on Kodak Professional Photo Papers. Choose the Metallic Surface to really make your images pop! Metalllic cover is standard (no additional charge).

Happy Spring to Everyone!

Yeah! I thought it would never come, but today spring is here! While blogging has not been my strong point I am going to try and harness some of my spring excitement and work hard to post here on a weekly basis! Stay tuned to see how this works out!!

I am getting really excited for the spring and summer ahead and all the amazing weddings coming up! This year I am very happy to be shooting more weddings than ever right here in the Duluth area. It all starts on April 18Th with Jessie and Mike's wedding ceremony featuring a unique reception at Duluth's Classic Train Depot. The magic continues with many summer weddings in so many great locations and will wind down with several fall color ceremony's by Lake Superior.

While I love working here in the Twin Ports and Northern Minnesota I am never one to shy away from getting out and exploring. Lucky for me this year I have weddings near and far. There will be at least one ceremony at the gorgeous Munsinger Clemens Botanical Garden in St. Cloud while another will be held at a place close to my heart-The Harriett Rose Garden in Minneapolis. Also, I am lucky to be on the beach for Emily and Dan's wedding in Ft. Meyers, Florida and than off to the mountains for Lindsay and Chris's wedding in Whitefish, Montana!

I can't wait to blog about each individual wedding so please check back the week after your portrait session or wedding to get a sneak peek at a few of your images!

Also, this year I am very happy to offer clients free album design with their wedding packages. I thought long and hard about just including an actual album with my packages....but decided that in an effort to keep prices reasonable the albums would continue to offered a' la carte.

The next few blogs will feature some of the albums that Black Bird Photography will be offering along with some other fun products that are hidden on the a' la carte menu! If there is something you specifically are looking for and don't see let me know! Another cool product I am researching is wedding guest books that would feature photographs from your engagement session. What a fun way for guests to share their thoughts with you! Look next week to find out more about this fun new product!
