From a spark to a flame - photographing my dogs was the first step towards designing photo books. Who knew?!

From A Spark To A Flame

August 31, 2016Photo booksVanessa

Passionate. Obsessed. Enthusiastic. Determined. You get the idea.

One tiny moment many moons ago created a spark that is now a roaring flame.

It was a gift. A DSLR camera. I had no idea what to do with it but it was love at first sight!

My pride & joy. My creative expression. And very quickly, my constant companion.

Our two magnificent German Shepherds were my loyal subjects until the day the apple of my eye, Zara Frances, joined our pack and eclipsed them. Oh how life changed for our fur babies, but graciously they stepped aside & welcomed our latest member with open jaws paws.

Years of capturing life’s precious moments happily went by. If I wasn’t snapping away on my camera, I was on my smart phone.  Our screensaver was blessed with a constant flow of new material (never mind that it was located in our spare room/study and rarely viewed).

Then, an iMac was smuggled into our home by one clever father/daughter team (yes, I had been not so subtly pining for one).

So excited was I that whenever possible I was now found totally immersed in iMac land.  Present in body but not in mind.  I mean if I could have crawled inside the machine I would have!  Complaints were now frequently made about me being attached to that machine.

I was obsessed engaged!  I dove head first into making Lightroom the most comfortable of homes for my beloved photo collection.  Weeks went by reviewing, sorting, tagging, rating & organising.

Supersonic levels of photographic organisation were achieved, but much like my daughter’s persistent questions whenever I’m on the phone, something was niggling at me…

What was the point of taking all of these photos for them to be hidden away on a hard drive?

The digital era has made documenting our lives incredibly easy.  But as a result we have more photos than we know what to do with.  And they just keep growing!

What if there was someone who could take the chaos (a dump of photos on a USB stick) and return beauty (a professionally printed photo book that captures that moment in our lives)?

What if there was someone who could enhance our photos so that they look their best and create a tangible way for us to share our stories.  So we can sit down, relive the days gone by and enjoy our photos as they’re meant to be.

Wait a minute… I could do this!

Enter albumz…

The answer for those who can’t quite get to that photo book they’ve been planning.

Imagine your photo book arriving in just a few weeks!
