I can't believe it, but it's been a year since I launched my album design business -- Align Album Design. It seems like just yesterday I was shaking in my boots as I shared my big news with you on the blog and asked you not to call my baby ugly :).
I just wanted to take a moment to celebrate our one year mark and share with you a little bit about where Align is at and where we're going. When I started Align a year ago, my vision was to offer photographers an affordable, fast option for outsourcing a portion of their workflow so they could focus on what they really enjoy doing -- shooting, building their businesses and spending time with their loved ones. We wanted to stick to a very clean design style that shows off the photographer's images and helps to tell the story of the day. I'm thrilled that a year into this endeavor, we are doing just that!
We currently serve 134 studios around the states and the world (4 in the UK, 4 in Australia, 1 in New Zealand, and 1 in Costa Rica -- we love our international clients!). For the last few months, we've averaged close to 50 designs per month. We currently have 5 designers and a few more in training to keep up with the growth we expect this summer. I couldn't be more thrilled with our first year in business and can't wait to see what the future holds!
If you haven't stopped by Align's website recently, you may want to check it out. We have a few updates to the site that I'm really excited about. On our About Page, you can see photos of our team and get to know us a little bit. And last month we launched a blog!

I post once or twice a week on the blog and share tips and tricks relating to album sales, some of our favorite recent designs, news about Align, and occasional guest posts by some of our clients. This week Melissa Arlena, one of our favorite clients, shared on the blog about how she uses Align to make her clients happy AND increase her profit. Pretty cool!
Thank you to those of you who have used Align's services and spread the news about us to others! We've had so much good feedback as well as constructive feedback about how to make our services better. And we continue to listen and make changes so that we can offer the best service possible to photographers.
Here's to another great year!
