Most Frequently Asked Questions
We take beautiful portraits of individuals, friends, family, and couples that will last you a lifetime. All physical products including the Folio Box and Album are professionally printed if wanting to purchase at ordering session.
The Folio Box is a beautifully crafted, high-quality box that we outsource from Ireland and holds your professionally printed photos. It’s an elegant and modern take on the traditional photo album. Each box includes a collection of printed photographs and a flash drive containing digital copies of those images.
The Folio Box is very versatile because you can keep your photos safely tucked inside the box for privacy, you can display the box on a table/shelf, place your photos up on a small easel, or frame them on your wall to showcase your beautiful moments.
