High School Senior albums are a fantastic way to showcase your work, enable your clients to have more images to show their family and friends and increase your sales.
For portrait albums, it’s all about mixing images that complement each other. When shooting, I always try to take a variety of shots from different angles and different formats. In the spread below, I new the green wall and windows would be a great backdrop for an album spread. I actually think that one image would be a great spread by itself. The client, also liked the image on the right, so I’ve added it here.
In this second spread, I’ve created a design based on three images. We rarely do any portrait album spreads with more than three images. The maximum we every put on a spread in a portrait album is five images, but I really do not see any reason to go beyond three images. These photos were all taken next to a grungy factory near our studio and the texture of the walls worked perfectly with the texture of this girl’s hair and blouse. To accentuate the texture, I’ve taken a background textures and blended it with an overlay of the color of the windowsill. This blending of the color and the texture has same overall feeling as the factory walls and brings the three photos together.
We design the majority of our portrait albums to be ten pages. Each spread is from the same basic location with similar backgrounds so it ties all together on the album spread.
I hope this gives a little inspiration for your album designs.

Hey Fundy,
Thank you for your post. It’s great to see companies promoting and educating in regard to senior’s albums. They are not nearly as big yet in Canada as they are in the USA, but it’s getting there, and I think the potential for this market to expand in Canada is fantastic. Sometimes it just takes a little tweak in our perception, with the right example or suggestion, and we appreciate your input.
