Safekeeping and care of your personal photos

I always do my best to ensure client images are safe and secure in my care. Packaged with their print order, our clients receive a brief “Caring For Your Portraits” guide to help them keep their investment safe for years to come. Most of us are not so diligent in caring for our personal photos and snapshots, sadly, even I am guilty of snap shot neglect from time to time. I came across a helpful article on this very subject the other night while visiting the Celine Countryman website and wanted to pass it along to you as well.

Tracking down the perfect album

This seems to be a daunting task for me lately and I’m sure my clients can relate. I’m always on the hunt for albums that are both functional, beautiful, and of course safe for my photos. Today I stumbled upon the TrueGuard top loading albums and slipcases. What I love about these albums most of all is the ability to customize the pages to suit my needs yet still have the “slip in” style pockets for placing the photos. I also adore the fact that their pages will accommodate 5×7 prints. Ooo and they offer black acid free card stock backing pages (or white) but I think everyone knows how much I adore the black pages for making the photo the focus of the album. They’ll also personalize the albums for you for a whopping $3.99, love that!
