If you are a professional photographer you should be outsourcing your wedding album design to a professional designer. It will allow you to spend time on your business rather than in your business, developing marketing strategies to increase revenue and spend time doing what you love - photography, all without sacrificing quality.
With our contemporary designs and quality service, we will add value to your business, but most importantly your clients will love their albums.
why outsource your album design?
A photographer’s workload has increased with the introduction of the digital camera :
- an increase in number of images being taken per shoot
- time spent culling images back to what is presented to the clients
- backing up and archiving files/images
- with a more competitive market from other professionals to the weekend shooter, the photographer needs to spend more time marketing their business and other business activities to bring in the work
- but also editing – in the day of the film camera, photographers would send the film to the printing lab and the lab would correct the files, but with the age of computers, photographers are also spending more time creating, applying and experimenting with effects
More and more photographers are outsourcing their post production and album design to focus their time on being out in the field photographing or in the studio selling, which is where a photographer earns the most profit! – and definitely not stuck behind the computer designing and being distracted by emails, phone calls, Facebook, etc.
If you don’t have sufficient time or skills to dedicate to designing a high quality wedding album layout that truly represents your photography at its best, and if you can’t inspire your clients by telling a beautiful love story with high quality edited images that are of professional standard, you may as well be throwing money down the drain.
Even if you are an emerging photographer, outsourcing your photo editing and album design can help give you fast-track to being a full time working photographer. With our help your images will look and present better while you are still learning the skills required, and the better your images and album designs look, the more clients you will book.
Outsourcing your album design to an experienced graphic designer with passion and technical knowledge of photography, will leave you to attend to other important tasks such as -
- time for marketing to generate business to increase sales and profitability
- more time doing what you love – photography!
- branching out into other areas of photography to boost revenue
- develop further photography and/or editing skills ie. learn more about studio lighting
- liaising with clients
- upselling products to clients
- add value to your business without added work
- get you away from the computer and spending more time with family and friends
Just compare the time wasted and lost revenue sitting behind your computer versus the time you will gain by outsourcing your design, and Im certain you will see the value it adds to you, your business and your family’s lives !
design samples
Boots Creative designs are completely original and contemporary in design, and let your images take pride of place to tell the bride and groom’s wedding story. Our designs are as unique as your photography – meaning we do not use templates as we believe templates impose limitations on our creativity.
Boots Creative will design contemporary layouts using your photographs according to your preferred album manufacturer’s specifications or we can also arrange printing and/or album manufacture on your behalf.
We may use single or multiple images per side or page spread to best showcase your photography with the intention of helping you increase your possible upselling of additional sides.

testimonials
“In the eight months since Deborah Boots from Boots Creative has designed my website and my digital wedding albums, my business has doubled.
Deborah’s unique ability to edit, highlight and amplify the emotions within each and every image allows me to focus on other things. In fact, because of her talents, I now have more time to work on my business rather than in it. The comfort I glean from Deborah’s flair allows me to take photos in a more relaxed state of mind. To me, this peace of mind is priceless.
Every album Deborah creates inevitably proves to be a unique and cherished work of art. Deborah’s natural ability and artistic flair has had many of my brides overwhelmed. Often, tears of joy flow as they can’t help but relive the emotions of their wedding day from within the wedding album. What more can I ask for!
Deb, I can’t thank you enough for landing on my doorstep and adding tremendous value to my business. You are a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to having a long and fruitful professional relationship with Boots Creative. You add another dimension to my work – a dimension that makes a huge difference!”

“My photography business has just taken off in leaps and bounds since the introduction of the BOOTS CREATIVE Coffee Table Books and outsourcing my album design.
It is not just the Coffee Table Book product, it is the fabulous, individual and unique layouts Deborah creates for each and every client of mine. There are no two books the same. The designs compliment my style and present the images at their best for the clients.
Boots Creative provide a proficient and professional service and always keep my client’s wishes in mind. The turnaround process from start of the design to delivery of the finish product is excellent.
I am over the moon I added the Boots Creative design service to my business, now I am able to reach for the stars.”
