I’m back on the blog today with Part 2 of Jake’s birthday mini album! Isn’t he a cutie? I love his personality and fun expressions!

I’ve bragged about the cuteness factor of Baby Jacob, so I thought I’d show him off a little more. This is a cute little mini 6×6 album that I made for his one-year-old birthday. I love how you can download the hi-res versions of photos on Facebook! I secretly stole and printed these photos of Jake to surprise mom and dad with the album! Here’s part 1 of 2!

Just a quick “hello”! I just dug up this cute little detail shot from the Summer Mini Albums and thought it was a fun one to share to get you in the Valentine’s Day mood! Have you seen our adorable Love Mini Albums? There’s still time to place your order before February 14th!

Hello, beautiful! Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away! We are excited to introduce our updated LOVE MINI ALBUM.

I don’t know about you all, but I have been BUSY! Between visiting family over Thanksgiving weekend to decorating my tree to finishing up custom albums, I’ve been swamped!

I have a ton of photos to share with you from all of the fun we’ve been having, so stay tuned for that!
