I have a new flush mount in and wanted to share it with you. Flush mount albums are books designed and published just for you using photos from your sessions/events. The photos are mounted directly on the pages flush to the edges of the mount. Similar to a baby board book. These books are completely customizable from the covers, pages, page sizes, theme. You name it and it probably can be done.



This one is 12inX12in. When you open the pages up prints are 12X24″. This is one amazing coffee table book.



Here is the cover. This one is a canvas print and as you can see has custom text on it. Other cover options available are leathers, wood, metal, printed metal, plexi-glass and various fabrics. This is pretty solid as well. I was surprised on how heavy it is.




Detail of front. You can see the canvas texture. Canvas covers can come with a metallic sheen too.




When you open the book up this particular line has full panoramic pages. Meaning the image is not cut at all down the middle seam. Some flush mounts the spread of the two pages is cut and there is usually at least a millimeter of space between the two sides. On this one you can see there is a seam where the fold is but there is no actual cut line. Also, each page is graphically designed and you can go as fancy and plain as you want. I prefer a more plain page as not to distract from the images or be too busy. The image on this page is one full image the smaller images were not mounted separately. These albums have a scrapbook feel with the image collages but without being “scrapped” together.




Close up of seam. Look how flat this thing can lay!

Corner and page detail:




Detail of spine. This one is square but you can have a rounded spine.




Backside of book:




I have another book coming in soon and hope to share more images and details of this amazing product. Contact me for more details and information if you are interested. I’m going to redo my packages soon and include this line into the everyday package.



I hope everyone is keeping warm with all this cold! I almost drove into a ditch when the first real snow storm hit a few days ago. You think being from Montana I’d be a pro but ice is ice I suppose and it caught me off guard.
