Happy Wednesday! What a week this is turning out to be! Let me tell you craziness abounds! Our household has faced a stomach bug, a cold, relentless allergies, a field mouse, mountains of laundry, sleep deprivation, and complete craziness! Oh and did I mention my husband is still in a cast! That’s life in the fast lane I guess! I have to say that yesterday was a total blast! I hosted my first giveaway here on the blog and the response was overwhelming! I am giving away stuff I love and you have the chance to win a gift certificate to the Etsy shop Gorgeous & Company . You all must love her stuff too because you are entering in DROVES! You can still get in on the fun! Just click here to view yesterday’s blog post for the details.
Alright! Enough of that! I have a new session to share with you today! And what a session it was! I always tend to gush over my clients. My business has led me to meet the most amazing, sweet, and generous people. I am blessed immensely by each and every one of them! Since I am a custom photographer I usually only do one session in a day and this gives me the opportunity to really be relaxed and get to know my clients. By the time all is said and done and all of the photos and products are delivered we become friends! I recently shared with you the maternity session of Heather and Her Husband John. I titled it Gorgeous is an Understatement. You all must have agreed because that session has become one of my top viewed sessions of all times!
Well Heather had the precious baby she was carrying the day I took those photos! A healthy happy baby girl! It was exciting to get the call to come back and photograph her newborn photos. Their sweet daughter was a precious sight to behold. She was just so sweet and so cuddly. She performed like a champ for her photos and I was able to create some of my best newborn shots ever.
Heather and John were so thrilled with the results of their session that they asked me to create an album for them. So I thought I’d spice things up a bit with this post and share the pages from that album. Notice this family decided to mix in some of their maternity photos as well. They are such a beautiful family! It made the whole process very simple. I love how the pages came together and I hope you do too!
This is the opening page. Please note I removed details to protect my clients privacy.
Each image here represents a double page spread. So you are looking at these photos as if the album were laying open on your lap.
I love to create pages with one photo that fills the entire page. These ones are always stunning!
So there you have it! A custom album by Crystal Starr. Thank you so much for looking! Have a fabulous Wednesday everyone and don’t forget about my giveaway here!




In the past I offered something called a session album as part of a couple of my packages. I found the description must not be very clear because most of my clients asked me what exactly that was. So I’ve decided to rename the product. I think Spiral Bound Photobook is a bit more accurate. It features front and back custom designed sturdy covers. These books are absolutely adorable and perfect for toting around in your purse and sharing with others. They make fantastic gifts as well! I feature the 5×7 version in my packages but they also come in 4×6, 5×5, and 8×10.



I wanted to share with you my daughter Joyanna’s baby announcement. Almost everyone finally has a copy (except my family who left the party early this weekend before I had a chance to hand them out! Sorry guys!) so I think it is finally safe to share! I truly enjoy creating announcements, thank yous, and invitations. I’d be happy to design and order one for you if you have the need. So, enjoy my baby love!
