Priscilla Foster bio picture
  • Priscilla Foster Handmade

    Since 1994, Priscilla Foster has been handcrafting custom books for clients around the world, and as an artist and classically trained bookbinder, she believes in creating albums that will stand the test of time. She has developed close-knit relationships with photographers, fabric and paper artisans to explore both the needs that are out there and the original high quality products that can be used to create her distinct products. Starting with the classic self-mount album, The Priscilla Album, over the years she has expanded offerings to include digital, photographic and matted albums. Priscilla continues to search out high quality paper, fabric, and ribbon to give her clients the most unique and varied options for custom albums… creating works of art that capture life’s special moments.

The Pallet has left the Building!

 

Well…it’s that time of year again when we head to Vegas and unveil all of the cool things we have been working on this past year…the first being our new logo and website! We can’t wait to see everyone at this year’s WPPI from March 11-13th! Please be sure to stop by and visit us at booth #1627. We have lots of new things in store for you.

 

What Happened in Vegas: The Adelaide II

The newest addition to our albums, The Adelaide II Album, made its big debut at this year’s WPPI to an overwhelming round of ohhs and ahhs and orders! We are so thankful to everyone who stopped by our booth to see what we have to offer including our new custom boxes…but more on that later!

Like its predecessor, The Adelaide II boasts digitally printed fine art pages, however we have taken it a step further by mounting the pages to board to give it the heft of a coffee table book with a sophisticated finish. The fine art pages are available in either a smooth or heavily texture. The heavy textures pages require a gutter whereas the smooth pages can be creased or cut depending on your preference.

From the feedback we received at the show we are sure you haven’t seen anything like this album out there and we believe some things that happen in Vegas shouldn’t be kept a secret!

Breaking it Down, Part 5: The Adelaide I Album

The Adelaide I Album, incorporates a flush mount binding with fine art, digitally printed pages. The absence of a gutter allows for seamless panoramic spreads with lay-flat pages that result in a album with a vintage look and a modern flair. The fine pages combines with our organic silk cover options allows you to create a richly textured album unlike any other.

As with all of our albums the silk cover is chosen by you or your client and you can really make your studio stand out from others by designing albums in unique sizes.  The Adelaide Album comes in 6 standard size and we are happy to accommodate custom sizing. Please call for pricing.

The price point of this album makes it a great option for parent albums, e-session guestbooks as well as bridal party albums. It is the perfect addition to any photography package for any client!

Breaking it Down, Part 4: The Wilder Album

The Wilder album is the perfect choice for any photographer looking for a modern feeling digital album.  This album is a beautiful flush mount album using your photographic prints (that you get printed at your lab of choice) and bound in silk.

As with all Priscilla Foster handmade albums, your cover is completely customizable.  For more information on choosing your cover click here.

Once you have your fabric picked out, you will want to decide on the size of the album.  The Wilder comes in two standard sizes:

Medium (10″x 10″)

Large (12″x 12″)

Custom sizes are available as well and can range anywhere from 4″x 5″ to 16″x 20″.  Please contact us for pricing if you are interested in custom sizes.

Each album comes standard with 25 pages or 50 sides.  Additionally, we now offer per page pricing at $20/spread with a minimum order of 10 spreads.

After you have your album designed and printed, you send the prints to us.  The prints are then coated with a UV lacquer to protect them, mounted onto archival quality board and made into a book block.  The finished book block is then bound and covered in the silk of your choice.

With this album the design possibilities are endless  – including the option for full bleed images and even full spread panoramics!  Before you begin designing please read our specs sheet which will give you guidelines for trim measurements and preparing your photos before sending them to us.

All of our albums are delivered to you in a sturdy custom-made box for protection and presentation.  If you would like to add a soft fabric case for even more protection you can do that for an additional $10.

If you are looking for that wow-factor album to offer your clients the Wilder album is it!
