The highest quality albums for your most treasured moments. These heirlooms will live on for generations.
Heirloom Albums
Album process
After I deliver your gallery, select your favorites from your gallery for inclusion in your album.
Select your album type, size, and customizations. I'll invoice you and then design an album that you love.
Album design typically takes about four weeks to complete (including revisions).
With the exception of printing errors or manufacturing defects, all albums are non-returnable. Albums may be ordered anytime. However, due to holiday deadlines from my printing company, orders must be completed no later than November 1st to ensure holiday delivery.
One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments documenting you and the ones you love most.
Think about this fact: twenty years ago, if we had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on a coffee table. They are handcrafted in the United States and are guaranteed for manufacturing defects for life.

Mini albums are available as an add-on to a Heirloom Signature Album purchase. They are roughly 6x6 in size for square albums, and roughly 5x7 in size for vertical albums.
Mini albums make excellent gifts for parents or grandparents. Minis are scaled-down replicas of your album. They will have the same layout and cover as the larger album, however, cameos and debossing are not available. They are created using recycled cover materials leftover from cuts made for your album, so they are offered at a competitive price.
Mini albums are $290 each, with a discount for purchasing multiple.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a page and a spread?
A: A spread is a fancy term to mean two pages. Imagine opening a book - you'll see a left page and a right page. This counts as one spread. When ordering albums, the base album includes 10 spreads, or 20 pages.
Q: How many images can I include in my album?
A: There is no upper limit. I generally design albums with approximately 2 to 5 images per spread. In a 10 spread/20 page album, you can generally expect about 20-50 images. For wedding albums in particular, there are some exceptions to how many images I can include per spread, especially if you purchase a larger album which allows the images to be displayed with sufficient detail. Using these estimates, the following guide may be helpful for estimating how many spreads you'd like to include in your album:
20 - 50 images: 10 spreads
50 - 100 images: 20 spreads
100 - 150 images: 30 spreads
150 - 200 images: 40 spreads
200 - 250 images: 50 spreads
Q: I need my album quickly. Are there any rush options available?
A: Yes. During most of the year, there is a normal rush surcharge of $175 to ensure your album will ship within 5 days after I place the order with my album company. During the holiday period, there are holiday rush surcharges imposed by my album company. This is only available in advance of the company's firm printing deadline which is usually in early to mid December. If you request rush service, I will invoice you directly for these fees.
Q: Do you stand behind these albums?
A: Yes. I have taken great care to select an album company that meets my high standards of quality and craftsmanship. I have chosen a company that uses premium, archival materials and avoids the use of harsh chemicals, acids, and plastics that can add extra layers of protection to commercial print products. The albums are pure and clean, but it also means these are heirlooms that should be handled with care.
These albums are handmade in the United States and are guaranteed for life. If there is ever an issue with workmanship or damage due to shipment, let me know, and I will do what's needed to ensure they meet the quality standards. Album sales are final, and this guarantee does not cover customer handling that may damage your album over time (for example, storing in direct sunlight or high heat/humidity).
Q: I have another question not addressed here. Where can I get more information?
A: Reach out to me at hello@michellejonesphoto.com. This is a fully customizable and collaborative process, and I will assist you through it all!
