Suzanne O'Brien Studio

organize and enjoy your memories

April 25, 2014

Travel Catalog no. 1

Are you back from spring break – relaxed, refreshed, and perhaps enjoying the return to a sense of routine?  Are you also overwhelmed by the photos you took on your vacation that are still living in your camera or sitting neglected on your hard drive?  Here is a little inspiration to do something with those photos in these short months before summer is upon us!

A month-long visit to New Zealand certainly was certainly a good reason to make this photo book.  Wanting to capture the stories while the memories were still fresh, I worked with this seasoned traveller to document the highlights of her family travels.

By including the itinerary, a hotel summary, and highlights of each region alongside the beautiful photos, this book was designed to trigger memories for the family and serve as a reference guide for friends who might be interested in a similar trip.

We printed this book with a softcover, as my client wanted wanted something super accessible that would be easy for the kids to pick up and flip through.  The premium glossy paper is reminiscent of a travel catalog –  I know I’m certainly inspired to visit this part of the world!

Touching Paper at WPPI

It is no secret that I love to create custom photo albums for my family and clients.  Last month I took a day trip to Las Vegas to evaluate album vendors at the WPPI 2014 expo.  It was a productive trip, and I’m excited to share some of my new finds with clients!  It was also a great chance to meet folks from some of my favorite companies.

Possibly the best part of my day was boarding a plane with just my purse – no luggage, no laptop, no camera gear – just me, my trade show plan of attack, and my Kelly Moore bag.  I kept things light because there was a lot of walking to be done, but of course my iPhone captured a few moments from the day…

A day spent learning, seeking inspiration, viewing gorgeous images and touching and feeling paper is a good day in my book.
