Let me help you tell your story and create beautiful wall art, books and albums that you'll treasure always!

Hey there, I'm Lisa!

I have a confession to make…

It may not be “cool”, but…

I’m an avid scrapbooker. 

There. I said it!

I’ve got a room packed with so many gadgets it would make your head spin. In fact, I spend entire weekends with girlfriends building intricate layouts beautiful memory albums.

Memory books tell our stories

I love the creative process… the gadgets and tools, pens and inks. But none of that is why I dedicate so much of my time, energy (and money… see: gadgets…) to creating these memory books.

No, what drives me to continue creating scrapbooks are the stories and emotions behind the photos. Stories that would be lost if I left my photos on a hard drive in my office.

… the tenderness in my son’s eyes as he admired his newborn daughter in the delivery room

… the look of determination on my grand-daughter’s face as she practiced hitting the ball off the Tee

… the sweet camaraderie between siblings as they play in the creek together

… the picture-perfect smile on my daughter’s face after getting her braces removed

… the Joy on my future daughter-in-law’s face as she shows off her engagement ring 

… how happy grammy looked holding her great-great-grandaughter for the first time

These are the stories I share with my photos, so that someday when I’m not here anymore, my kids and theirs will still have this part of me.

Don’t hide your memories in box or drawer

I adore having my memories displayed in such a creative way for my family to enjoy any time they please – and they do! In fact, rarely does the family get together without at least one of these memory albums coming down from the shelf. And I love watching my kids laugh together over the photos and talk about their memories from those times.

On the other hand, I think of a hard drive full of photos much like boxes in the basement full of random individual prints. There’s so many that I’m overwhelmed at the thought of going through them. It’s not really a very convenient or pleasant way to relive my memories or share them with others. I might do something with them some day, but it’s more likely that I won’t. And worst of all, the more they pile up, the more overwhelming it is to go through them and create anything meaningful.



Books and albums are my favorite way to showcase your photos

This is why my absolute favorite way to print photos for my families and seniors is in books and albums. It’s such a beautiful way to package your favorite images for current and future enjoyment! Further, there’s no hunting through your cell phone, thumb drive or hard drive to find your memories. They store so nicely on a bookshelf, ready to pick up and revisit, when you’re feeling nostalgic. 

Scrapbooking is a satisfying but time-consuming hobby, but not everyone has the time and patience for it. What’s more, the albums can get large and occupy a lot of space in your home over time. But what if your photographer created your memory books for you?!

Photo books are an investment for the future

When we have a photos session, we tend to think of the immediate value; holiday cards, a fresh family photo on the wall… but for the long-term, a photo book is your perfect solution. You’ll never lose it in a technical failure, it’s beautiful to look at and holding those memories in your hands is so meaningful!

Can you picture a bookshelf filled with the photo memories of your family through the years? Imagine being able to look back and almost watch your kids grow up again. Now picture yourself, sitting on the couch with your future grandchild, revisiting memories of their mom or dad. Can you see yourself breaking out your child’s senior photo album for your future son or daughter-in-law? Wouldn’t it be perfect to display a few albums of your child through the years at their graduation party?
