Graphi Studio — Minneapolis Wedding, Event and Portrait Photography by Austin Images

GraphiStudio Albums

Now, I know there are a bunch of album companies out there. I’ve worked with many of them and I won’t stop searching for the perfect solution for my clients but what I’m here to say is that I adore what GraphiStudios offers me and in turn offers my clients. I get asked a lot, by brides, “Do you have a favorite album company?” and “Which album companies do you use?” My answer is “Yes, Graphi.”

Lets say you don’t need a Wedding album…it’s all good…I can create a GORgeous album of your Pregnancy, your Children, your High School Seniors, your Pets, your Business even your Vacation! Albums, today, are an extension of your world and should be seen as such. Showcase your life and put it on display. Contact me when you are ready to make Art out of your Life!

Above is a 14 x 18 Horizontal Album containing 40 pages (80 sides) of metallic paper (GORgeous) accompanied by a brushed metal image for it’s cover. This album could quite possibly be incorporated into your workout routine as it weighs in at a whopping 18 pounds! LOVE it!

Each album can be delivered in a super stylish briefcase to protect your heirloom for generations.

Below is a Square, 14 x 14, 40 page (80 sides) album printed on photographic paper with a buttery leather cover complete with a cut out to tease the onlooker and debossed with the couples names this one is sure to delight the senses even before you turn that first page.

Everyone has different tastes so if a Vertical Album is more your style, fear not. All album designs can be created to meet your needs and dimensional wishes.The following is a 9.5 x 13 Vertical, 30 page (60 sides) album printed on Linen Textured Paper with the Graphi-classic, Crystal Glance cover!

Combinations of dimensions, covers, paper are all up to you but don’t let that scare you. I can assist you in making those important detail decisions so that you can be proud of and enjoy your album and share it with generations to come.

Albums aren’t just for weddings anymore!

Joe Buissink.

This month’s TCPPA (Twin Cities Professional Photographer’s Association) meeting was held up at the North (Brooklyn Park) HTC auditorium, again, due to the remodel of the South (Eden Prairie) HTC location. Having attended Joe Buissink’s program, on Monday, I now know that I would have traveled any distance and I encourage you to do the same when he comes to a town near you to speak. While he and his agenda were weighted heavily in photography and largely wedding photography with ties, now, to countless celebrities…I went in looking for inspiration in those arenas but came away with a much different feeling. You see, Joe Buissink makes no bones about being a human being first. His life has been peppered with challenges yet he rises up and creates immeasurable richness for he, his family and clearly extends this to his clients and to those that make the time to attend his speaking engagements.

I enjoyed the program on Monday so much that I traveled to Minnesota’s GraphiStudio location in Oakdale the next morning to hear him speak…yet again. I must say that even though Joe doubled up on much of his lecture from the day before, I felt more in the moment as I sat in the front row amongst a much smaller, more intimate group of photographers. You see, I’m one of those individuals that loves to hear the message again and again. I find myself catching things I missed the first go ’round. Invited into a group setting where someone pours their heart out and opens their soul you cannot help but feel the passion that drives that person. I felt it spill over. I know that I will photograph all things, from now on, with my life’s influences and experiences…past and present to guide me. Thank you, Joe Buissink, for reminding me of why I do what I do. So great to finally meet you. Hope you enjoyed your first trip to Minnesota!
