The Heirloom Book
You asked, we listened — and we’re thrilled to announce that the Heirloom Book is back by popular demand! This beauty has always held a special place in our lineup, and now it returns with the same timeless appeal and a few subtle upgrades you’re going to love.
Whether you’ve been waiting for its return or you’re just getting to know it, here’s everything you need to know about our most elegant, editorial-style photo book.
What Makes the Heirloom Book Unique?
Unlike our layflat albums, the Heirloom Book is a traditional, non-layflat photo book, which means each page is designed to stand alone. There’s a visible center gutter, so it’s not made for full spreads — but that’s the point.
Heirloom Stock Photos
This format encourages intentional, single-image layouts. Think of each photo as a moment to pause, admire, and take in fully, without distraction. It’s storytelling in its purest, most minimal form.
Perfect for Soft, Romantic Edits
This book was made for photographers who lean into a light, airy, and editorial aesthetic. It pairs beautifully with:
Bright, soft natural light
Pastel or muted color palettes
Film or film-inspired edits
Low-contrast, de-saturated tones
Basically, if your style is dreamy and timeless, the Heirloom Book will feel like home.
