I am thrilled to show you the first sample coffee table book that arrived over the weekend.

I have been on the fence about offering coffee table books. They can’t be that good, right? I decided to order one and see what all the fuss is about.

Well, after seeing this gorgeous book, I’m hooked! I plan to order a couple more samples in the next couple months so there are a couple options to choose from.

This particular coffee table book is designed so the pages lay flat.

I love it!
What about a scrapbook of a child’s first year… kind of like this:

Or more simple… like this:

Or like this:

I can’t decide what I like best.
I just know I’m very pleasantly surprised by this book. I can’t express enough how much I love it!

If you’re interested in more information (size options, number of pages, pricing, etc), feel free to email for more details.

I’m really really hoping that my friend, that will remain name-less (for now) won’t check this blog this morning.
Surely she’s too busy preparing to go to her mother in laws for another baby shower (her’s- and it’s not a surprise).
I just wanted to show you what I’m giving her.
This is the front:

And this is the back:

I’m so excited to be able to give this to my friend. I will be sure to report back what her reaction was to the gift. Must go get ready for the day of fun up in NH.

I know this year I’m feeling not as prepared for the holidays. If you’re looking for that perfect gift I wanted to let you in on a little known secret: Brown Eyed Photography gift certificates are available- and if you order by Dec 20th you’ll get the gift in time for Christmas! Gift Certificates are available for prints, packages, or sittings- or a combination.

And keep the emails coming requesting to be added to the e-newsletter list so I can add your name to the sitting and 8×10 drawing. I’m looking forward to working with the winner!
