Ok, it’s catch up time, and I’m starting with this Senior photoshoot from the summer. An avid reader, I requested integrating the book into some of the photos. How cool that they brought along a red book, what a great prop. It was one of my favorite shoots. It took place in Saugerties, NY where there is a great village area with an ecclectic mix of restaurants and boutiques. I believe my subjects father referred to this style of shoot as guerrila style. Where we descend upon a setting with not much of a plan mapped out, just taking it as the moment hits us. We were very fortunate to find some great character in the backdrop, and an independant bookstore. It couldn’t have been a better setting for this interesting fella about to embark on his final year of High school.

Creating Custom Books for the Holidays? Blurb’s Book Making Boot Camp Makes It Easy!
(sponsored post)

It could be just me, but I think it’s much easier to learn how to do something by watching a video (even it is’s a short one). For instance, making your own custom book seems like it would be really complicated, but then you watch a video walking you through it and it becomes pretty understandable. Here’s a quick video from Blurb (less than 3 minutes) that quickly walks you through publishing your own book using their BookSmart tool—sort of a book making boot camp. Save 15% off photobooks which is great news if you’re thinking ahead to the holidays and making a gift to send. New customers save 20% off photobooks at Blurb with code SEPT20%… even better for those of you who are new to Blurb books. Just don’t wait because these deals end October 31st.
