Time is flying because I just realized that Baby Milo was born a month ago today, prompting me to get my act together and share photos from Day #1 like I promised I would.  It was a stealthy 10 minute visit to the hospital the afternoon of his birth, just enough time to congratulate our dear friends, oogle over Milo’s preciousness and duck out as Grandma Sue arrived.  Predictably I did more oogling than Sam but we both had to agree that Milo was one gorgeous kid.  Olivia looked nothing short of amazing, the woman makes a hospital gown look good.  And you can just see Lincoln’s pride.  They say its good to have a doctor and a lawyer in the family but I say its good to have a photographer too.  Congrats once again to Olivia and Lincoln and a very warm welcome to Milo Arthur!

We’re really excited about our Museum Art Books and with 20 different varieties to choose from (gad zooks) we better get as many examples up here as we can!

Natalie and Dave chose the Soho because of its hardbound photo cover, linen book binding and matching linen slipcase for storage.  They choose grey linen fabric for the binding, both classic and modern.

The couple chose linen art paper for printing and binding, my personal favorite.  Look into the petals in the flower girl’s basket as well as Natalie’s face and you can see the delicate texture of the paper through the images…

At a handsome size of 13×10 and an equally impressive 100 pages, this book has plenty of room for large, splashy photos and panoramas without ever sacrificing the number of photos for inclusion.  In many ways, its the best of all worlds.  Its got the room of a book with the formality of an album.

Here’s the entire layout if you want to check it out.  Congrats to Natalie and Dave on such a beautiful wedding last summer and also on the birth of their daughter Dahlia whom I can’t wait to meet very soon!
