Photo Books for the Corporate Community

Monday, July 27th, 2009

We have exciting new opportunities for the corporate community to use our custom photo books to display their business achievements in a completely new format.  Custom photo books are the perfect way to display professional portfolios for builders, developers, architects, interior designers and landscapers.  Our photo books are much more than a simple photo album.  By including details about your projects along with photographs, your custom photo book provides complete documentation of a major project.  You are able to highlight project milestones, date different stages of a project and show detailed before and after images. If you are in need of a photographer for your project, we are happy to help.  We have established relationships with many photographers and can help you find the right one for your job.  We will even manage all of the details with the photographer allowing you to focus on more critical aspects of your project.

Whether you’d like a custom photo book to document a project, showcase business achievements, or elegantly display your portfolio, we hope you’ll ask us to help!

Getting into a rhythm with blog posts

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

So far, I haven’t had a lot of success finding a good rhythm for this blog.  I’ve thought enough about it,  but just haven’t figured out the best way to use the blog.  The past few months have been a period of growth for The Larkspur Group and it hasn’t left me with much time to contribute to the blog.   Moving forward, however, I plan to post new entries on the blog twice a month.  The entries will have a variety of themes – from new business, to new product offerings, to industry news.  I’ll also post some photos of recently completed projects.  My posts will be on or about the 5th and the 20th of every month.  Since we’re in the month of July and a lot of weddings are happening, my post on the 20th will be about the new wedding products that are available.  I’ll highlight a few products that I love and photo gift ideas for bridal attendants, parents, and siblings.

Please bookmark this page and remember to check back on the 5th and 20th of the month for a new post!

Spring Weddings

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

It’s almost time for the spring wedding season.  Photographers are gearing up to take wonderful pictures that preserve the moments of the most memorable of days.  The Larkspur Group, LLC is ready to design one-of-a-kind page layouts that become pages in beautiful wedding albums.  We welcome all photographers to check out our design, print & bind services for a variety of vendors.  We can simplify your life by working directly with brides to create a most unique wedding album.  If  you’re a bride who has a CD with your wedding images, we can turn those images into a beautiful album you’ll be thrilled to share with your family and friends.

It’s Convention Time!

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

We are participating in the trade show that is part of the Virginia Professional Photographer’s Association annual convention.  This is our second year at the show and we are excited about the new products and services we’re offering this year.  We have many great books to show this year and we’ll also be demonstrating how easy it is for clients to upload their photos to the website and start to work on a new book.  If you’re in Portsmouth on Sunday, February 21st, visit the Renaissance Hotel and stop by our booth!

We’ll have books by Zookbinders, Vision Art, Miller’s, Shared Ink and White House Custom Colour!  We have books of all sizes that fit a variety of price points.  As a photographer with many different package offerings, we’re sure you’ll find something that meets your needs!

Happy New Year!

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

We’re off to a busy start in 2009.  Updates are underway to expand our website and offer online ordering.  We’re excited about the changes and the potential to deliver our services to people outside of our geographic area.  We plan to debut the online processing in mid February, just before we attend the Virginia Professional Photographer’s Association Annual Convention.  We’ll be at the trade show and will have samples of our books on display and we plan to demonstrate our online processing.  If you’re at VPPA in Portsmouth, VA, we hope you’ll stop by and see us!

We’re excited about the new products offered by all of the photo book vendors.  Our latest sample, a small accordion wallet book from Miller’s is getting rave reviews.  It’s a great keepsake gift for any occasion.  It’s a terrific way to put 10 photos of from your newborn session into a beautiful book that any parent or grandparent would love to show off!  It could also be used as a bridesmaid gift, family portrait session, highlights from a sports season, the options are endless!

We offer products from all of the top photo labs – if it’s not mentioned here, just ask us!  Our fully functioning website will be up soon and we hope you’ll visit often to find out about our products and services.

Our first post!

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Welcome to our new blog!  The Larkspur Group is undergoing a lot of change and 2009 is looking to be a great year for us! We are in the process of revamping our website and in January, it will have a totally new look.  Along with the new look will come quite a bit of functionality.  Clients will be able to log into the website and upload their photos for their custom photo books.  After we complete the design of the pages, we’ll be able to send you a link to your album and you can preview the pages online, forward the link to friends and family and reply to us with comments and approval.

We’re very excited to usher in the new year in just a couple weeks.  Even though the economy may be in recession, we’re not slowing down!  Instead, we’re working harder to make our business thrive.

Through this blog, we’ll let you know what’s new in our product line, and update you with trends in the custom photo products industry.  We’ll let you know about the vendors we’re working with and the new products their introducing.

We hope you’ll visit often and allow us to create personalized, one-of-a-kind photo books to preserve the memories of the special moments in your life!
