A different kind of family photographer

Laney Photography Blog

This blog features photo stories, tips and tricks on photographing your own family, and my thoughts and feelings.

My Favorite Consumer Photo Products

If you’re into getting your photos off your phone and computer and into your hands, you’ll love my favorite photo products.

It’s a great time to sit down and bust one or more of these orders out so they can start getting processed and shipped to you!

I personally love photo albums to thumb through on a lazy Sunday morning and having my walls filled with photos of my family!


Artifact Uprising - Everyday Photo Book

What I love most about these albums is the thick pages, beautiful linen covers and how super simple it is to put your photos in them! Oh and the foil titles. And that they are the perfect size for little hands (7”x 7”). I use these albums more for events like newborn photos or summer photos, but monthly photos would be super cool to use in them too.

They start at $59 for 30 pages.

Blurb book

These books are a little more technical heavy with more size, cover and paper options. Their design software is pretty simple to use but can also be highly customized. I use these books for my yearly family albums. I can fit about 400 photos in their books with 1-2 a page. It’s so great. The quality of printing is phenomenal. If you have questions about these books, please ask and I can help you through every step.

With their recommended settings, the books start at $41 for 20 pages.

Pinhole Press - baby spiral Board book

These spiral bound board books are adorable. They have a few different formats to choose from like ABC’s, Our Trip to the Park, Emotions, Names and Faces, etc. They are THICK pages and super durable for those little greasy fingers.

Most of them start at $40.

Mixtiles

I discovered this company through a Facebook ad and loved the idea of removable, reusable, sticky framed photos for gallery walls. But I needed to order them to actually believe how brilliant they are! I created this gallery wall in 6 minutes (that included getting them out of the box, deciding which photo goes where, and putting them up. We’ve rearranged them a few times and by we, I mean, the boys can do it too!!

They are $11 each and always free shipping!
