Senior Albums
More than a feed.
Inspired by the tactile soul of vinyl, your session is curated into a 12x12 album. This isn't a template; it’s a custom piece of art designed from scratch to match your energy. Built to last longer than a trend, it’s a conversation piece meant to be held in your hands and kept for a lifetime.
The Format: 12 x 12 Large Display (True Vinyl Size)
The Interior: 20-40 thin, coffee-table style pages (10-20 full spreads)
The Finish: Semi-gloss vibrant press-printed paper for colors that pop
The Design: Endless cover design options + custom spine design
The Aesthetic: One-of-one
Featured Designs:
The Design Lab: From Concept to Collector’s Item
I don't "auto-populate." Every album begins with a design brief to nail down your visual language. I build custom layout directions, and you choose the one that hits. Explore a few past editions:
Jay's Edition
Street Style: High-contrast, urban, and edgy.
Katelyn's Edition
Gilded Garden: Bold, opulent, and cinematic.
Jonathan's Edition
Urban Athlete: Saturated, gritty and impactful.
The Studio Standard
Mastery vs. The Common Print When you invest in a professional session; your physical record should reflect that same level of mastery.
The Common Print
- Design: Automated templates & generic boxes.
- Paper: Thin "office" weight; prone to curling or fingerprints.
- Color: Basic CMYK toner; prone to muddy shadows.
- Binding: Mass-glued edges; likely to crack over time.
The Senior Album
- Design: Producer-Led Custom Mix. Every spread is engineered from scratch.
- Paper: Modern Editorial Silk. Sleek, flexible, and premium to the touch.
- Color: Mastered Pigment. High-definition inks for gallery-level accuracy.
- Binding: Library-Bound. Professionally bound to curve elegantly and last a lifetime.
Why Silk is the High-End Choice
Seniors love our Modern Editorial style because the pages are sleek, not bulky. Unlike traditional "cardboard" albums that limit you to 20 images, this flexible build allows for a massive tracklist (more photos!) in one sophisticated, low-profile record.
Got Questions??
I’m awkward in front of the camera. Can you help?
100%. I’m a total goofball and just as awkward as you are, so we’re in this together! I’ll guide your movement, hands, and expressions. We’re going to have a blast laughing through the process and making sure the final photos show your true self.
What should I bring to the session?
Your mom. She'll make sure don't forget anything else :) Dads are welcome too, of course!
What if it rains? Or I get sick? Can I reschedule?
Absolutely. It's friggin' Ohio after all. But in peak seasons, rescheduling may get tricky. If you stay flexible so shall I!
How and when do I pay? Do you offer any discounts?
Yes. I proudly offer a 10% military discount to Active Duty, Veterans, Reserve, Guard, and their immediate families. Just mention it when you book, and I’ll apply it to your final balance.
Secure your date with a $100 retainer online. The remaining balance is due by the day of your session via credit card, cash, or check. Simple and transparent.
When do I get my goodies?
Do you offer graduation announcements?
Yes! You can design and order directly through your private online gallery OR download your images from the gallery and order through any printing lab you'd like. Either way, you'll be able to get the word out.
Can I still purchase an album if I book a Moment or Story Session?
Absolutely. While the custom-designed album is the signature piece of the Soundtrack experience, you can add one to any session. It’s the perfect way to turn your digital "tracks" into a physical masterpiece for your home.
I am an artist too... can I design my own cover?
I love a good collaboration! While I handle the technical production (to ensure everything fits our lab’s specific dimensions and high-fidelity standards), you are the creative lead. Send me your sketches, drawings, and mood boards—we’ll work together to make sure the final album cover is a true reflection of your art.
Here I am...
CLASS OF 2002
I am trying to smile without showing my braces. Don't I look mysterious?
The truth is, high school was not my prime. Those were not (thank God) the best days of my life. My senior year, I developed an eating disorder and crippling depression. I got pretty skinny, and the popular girls complimented me.
My real friends weren't as flattering. Instead, they were there. Even when I was drowning in my own demons, they saw someone I couldn't yet—someone worth loving.
By the time the braces came off, senior year was over. Wish I could go back and tell that brace face not to wait until everything is straightened out and pretty to get her picture taken.
I'd tell her she looks better when she really smiles- even in all that metal glory!
All these years later she's why I do this. I’m not looking for perfection; I’m looking for you.
