Last summer our family had a reunion trip on an Alaska Cruise. Most of us had never been to Alaska and were blown away by the beauty and vast terrain. I love the book I made and am so proud of it! While making photobooks for the last few years I have learned what type of photos make the books great. I take photos of EVERYTHING! I am purposely taking photos which I know will add a little character to my book! For example I took a photo of the placemat on the table of the lodge we visited because it made a great background page. I’ll take photos of a beautiful plate of food or glass of wine at a restaurant. When we take a cruise I take lots of photos of the cabin before we move all of the suitcases in. That “first-look” of a cabin or hotel suite is always so exciting to me and I love to be able to re-live it in my photos. I take pictures of signs, too. The cities or towns, tourist sights, names on buildings, historical markers, information boards all become part of my books.
Gorgeous!
You sound like me, taking photos of everything and even taking photos sheerly for how they will help enhance that photobook you know you’ll make as soon as you are home. After making your first photobook, it really encourages more photojournalism rather than just the same old snapshots you might usually take.
Amazing book! Terrific photos and wonderful layout and design!
Wonderful! Much more than just a family album. Love the eagle.
I am just getting into photobooks, so yours is such an inspiration! Thanks so much for the fantastic ideas!
I agree with Beth–great photos and layouts. I like how you used the picture as a background and then used the same picture within the background (the eagles on the rocks page). I also liked the page of the conductor. None of the pictures were posed and it really was photojournalism. I will use your book as an inspiration. My husband and I have wanted to go to Alaska for 15 years. We will be sure to stay at the Taku lodge house when we do-the views were great! Thanks for sharing!
