There are those certain suppliers who, while consistent in quality and service, still surprise by going above and beyond to satisfy.
This is evident by the equally consistent raves they receive from a long list of happy customers, especially from us very picky photographers! Pixel2Canvas is one deserving of much praise. Not only are their canvas products outstanding, their customer service is top-notch. To find out why we think so, check out our newest What’s in the Box as we describe how they met an urgent need for an important event. Higher standards, higher quality, exceptional value – just like their website claims!

KISS Wedding Books is a favorite of many photographers, including DoodleDo.

For those of you seeking eco-friendly products, look no further than Loktah. The website describes their beautiful line of hand-made boxes, folios, and media cases as, “inspired by the natural beauty of the earth, featuring products that recall the planet’s majestic form.” Organic papers dipped in beeswax, soft twine, and organic beads combine to create an innovative, all-natural choice in green products. For a close-up look, check out this latest What’s in the Box in-depth review by DoodleDo.
Popular album producer, Zookbinders, recently launched their Collections concept. Promoted as a great way to increase sales, the Collections include a beautiful leather wedding album, duplicate PhotoBooks, and the new Frames. Zookbinders describes these Frames as featuring “the same aspect ratio as the panorama pages in the Zook Book so that the digital designs you create for albums can be framed.”
We were delighted to receive a sample from Zookbinders. They come completely assembled, with your selected album spread printed and mounted within one of three stylish frames – silver, cherry, or black. While the package concept makes a smart new addition to the options available to your clients, delivering framed favorite spreads from the album design would be fantastic surprise gifts as well.
The Zookbinders Frames are an awesome accompaniment to your albums. Overall: Quality:Innovation: Wow! Factor:
While checking out the multitude of booths and products at WPPI, one of the items that caught Robin’s attention was an exceptional, well-made, smart little tool named the Lookbook. Developed by photographer, John Mireles, and offered through his great website, Photographer’s Toolkit, the Lookbook is a posing guide in swatchbook format. With hundreds of poses and tips in two versions, one for wedding shooters and the other for portraitists, we agree that it’s “the cure for the common pose.” To learn more and get a good look at the Lookbook, you have to watch this episode of What’s in the Box.
The Lookbook deserves excellent ratings for producing a exceptionally well-made and practical tool. Overall: Quality:Innovation: Wow! Factor:
Once again we take a look at Zookbinders, one of our favorite album suppliers. Their new line, called The PhotoBook, is outstanding. Printing, materials, and workmanship are always consistent in our experience. These press-printed books launched in 2007 as a very good, notable option in this highly popular, rapidly growing category. Zookbinders continually improves on this line and they are now exceptional in many ways. Plus, new features are being released soon, but to find out what they are, you have to watch the in-depth review. We have a bunch of these to show you in various sizes in this episode of What’s in the Box.
Correction: In our review we describe the page laminate as “UV” coating. It is not a UV coating that Zookbinders uses in The PhotoBook, but a high-quality glossy laminate which actually provides more strength, durability, and thickness to the pages. We apologize for the misinformation.
Zookbinders is consistently excellent! Overall: Album Quality: Print Quality: Customer Service: Packaging:
