Beginnings

 

Several years ago, I was searching for the most special, meaningful wedding gift I could find for my sister and her new husband.  After their big day, I decided to make a photo book from the photos she had from her photographer, but hadn't yet compiled into a traditional photo album.

 

The result was better then I ever could have dreamed. She and her husband were so happy they both cried tears of joy.  I was hooked!

 

I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit and with over 16 years of working at technology companies and Internet start-ups, I had the tools to start a business. I also come from a family of artists and designers, so creativity is in my DNA. With much encouragement from family and friends, I decided to turn my passion into a career and do what I love. 

 

Today, I couldn't be having more fun making cherished photo books for anyone and everyone that wants one.  The result when customers see their new keepsakes is as exciting for me as it is for them — and just as thrilling as when I made that first book for my sister.
