| What happens when you ask a group of nine fun, creative, and innovative women to design a comprehensive product line for professional photographers? |
They develop a beautiful, elegant, high-quality product collection that fits the product needs of every wedding and portrait studio. We used the highest quality materials, the hottest colors, and the most innovative designs to create our best-in-class product lines.
 After launching five new product lines before the end of 2007, Deirdre, our director of product development, decided to hold a photo shoot to find the perfect team photo. Photographer Erik Matey photographed the session and our artistic, image-oriented team didn’t refrain from chiming in on poses, lighting, and locations.
“It was difficult getting nine people all in sync with each other,” Erik recalled, “especially with all of the laughter, but we finished the session with many great shots and had a lot of fun in doing so.”
In putting together our collection of products, Collages.net’s Product Development Team had one main focus – the highest quality. This group of women want to provide our photographers and their clients the best presentation possible. They also kept in mind quick turnaround, the best prices for you, flexibility, and innovation. Hear from our team members on this innovative product collection:

“In designing our albums, Collages.net’s Product Development Team wanted to give clients every reason possible to choose your albums, especially with all of the competition out there. Our leather covers are handmade, available in vivid and vivacious colors,
with plenty of customizable options. We have photographers who always order our orange albums for their studio samples. Few people actually buy orange leather albums, but photographers say they feel having this bright album in their studio captures their clients’ attention and shows the broad range of their offerings.”

“We designed our album line to include a lot of flexibility in terms of options and in terms of the product itself. As far as options, we offer embossing, cameos, spine hubs, and plenty of convenient sizes. As for the product, we designed an album product so flexible that we have already expanded our line - putting a creative, contemporary twist on our albums to offer sign-in albums and brilliant full image bleed covers. Sign-in albums have the same personality as our albums – excellent lay-flat properties, a minimal page seam, and customizable options – but they display images on the left and parchment paper on the right for signing. They are already quite a hit, especially for seniors, weddings, graduations parties, Quinceanera, Sweet Sixteens, and showers. The brilliant covers, I've been told, are showstoppers at wedding shows.”

“Both our high gloss finish and matte finish book lines have so much personality – we just love them! In designing our books, flexibility, customization, and quality were our main goals. These books give our photographers the ability to do anything they want – from designing their pages to make a finished album to selecting borders to make a contemporary proof book. They are perfect as portfolio pieces and upon first sight of them, brides always just have to have them.”

"collagesColor delivers such high quality and exceeds such high expectations that I don’t know where to start! My quote might run a little long,” Mary Kay laughs. “One of the best benefits of collagesColor is that our lab can be used to fulfill in-studio orders or event site orders. Another huge benefit is that collagesColor offers consistency, which is so important in this competitive industry. Our lab’s large-scale prints are a client favorite, as we offer many large sizes and the quality and color are simply amazing. We also have a lot of great mounts, finishes, and textures, which are popular. Our artistic proofs are a model of our innovation as they offer a unique, yet classic way of proofing. Out of all of our product lines, collagesColor has been around the longest and we only hear great things!”

"We wanted to offer a card line that was easy to order and even easier to sell. Score one for Collages.net! Our press printed and photographic cards are chic and affordable. They can be used for everything you shoot. I had a blast designing a few of the cards, but we also allow photographers to select their own designs. There is a lot of versatility in this product line."

“In making our product ordering systems, we wanted to provide you with an easy, efficient online shopping experience. On top of that, our product interfaces have qualities that are beneficial to each product.
Our album and book interfaces provide lots of images of our customized options, so in case you’d like to see the difference between moiré or art-grade paper, or if you’d like to see how the single page cover template looks, you can! The collagesColor + ROES ordering system has been great as well. It contains not only our print and lab options, but also our gallery wraps and card options. The interface is user friendly and effortless.”

“When I ask our clients what they look for in a vendor, their answer is always excellent customer service. I can honestly say that Collages.net has always made customer service the heart of our company. Such a large part of all of our product launches included educating our team on the ins and outs of each product. We held rigorous training programs and created support sections for each product. Five product lines later, Collages.net still provides unparalleled customer service to our photographers."
