FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I price my albums by the number of completed pages, with each page representing one fully designed sheet, front and back. Most projects fall between 20 and 30 pages, and the final cost depends on the album size and how many photos you’d like included. My standard rate is $12 per page, and larger albums naturally receive a built‑in discount so you always get the best value. There is an additional charge for the cost of the album and shipping, usually between $50-$75 depending on album size. Once I’ve seen your photos and understand the story you want to tell, I’ll provide a personalized quote that’s clear, fair, and tailored to your project. My goal is to make the process comfortable from the very beginning, with no surprises—just a beautiful, handcrafted album created just for you. Here is an example of typical prices for albums: 20‑Page Album 20 full sheets 40 sides 80–120 photos $240 ($12 a page) 30‑Page Album 30 full sheets 60 sides 120–240 photos $330 ($11 a page)
