“Necessity is the mother of invention.” We’re probably not the first company to quote that truism, yet it nicely sums up how we came to be. Simply put, we didn’t like the photo albums we could find and couldn’t find the photo albums we wanted. Thus, in 2002, in a world of poorly made, homely albums we found our calling: to give people the opportunity to present and preserve their photos with beauty and integrity. We set out to create a better album, but it also allowed us to found a company based on things that are well made, locally made, and look mighty fine. In addition to photo albums we have designed a line of exquisite Guest Books that complement our photo albums. In April of 2008, we will be releasing our first printed book, "baby baby, a memory book."
