It was a tough decision, so I recruited Mr. Q and my awesome Mama to assist me in choosing. It was a close competition but this slipcover just stole our hearts! It's named The Essential after photog Kristen Kalp with <a href="http://www.essentialimagery.com/blog/good-stuff/chrysq-album-slipcovers/">Essential Imagery</a>.

It went absolutely fantastic! 20 photographers registered and came out and shot the catalog right along with us. We went over our lighting and setup techniques and did an awesome post-production session at Forbeyon Albums in Dallas. We're so pleased that many of our attendees have blogged about the event and posted some awesome images. Check out the posts below:</p>

She is truly a photography inspiration and a pretty rad gal too! She is a friend to so many and her reputation is worldwide. Check out how she won <a href="http://www.gettotallyrad.com/blog/link-love/dirty-pictures-contest-winner-photoshop-trick.html">here</a> and what she won <a href="http://blog.petrahall.se/index.php/2009/10/13/my-precioussssssss/">here</a>. Here is a translation of what's written on her blog:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"My preciousssss!<br />A month ago I won a contest at the very cool blog <span id="lw_1255630294_0" class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">Totally Rad</span> Blog with a submission on how to create a suntan. The prize was a bag, or rather a "slipcover" for photo albums that the incredible talented ChrysQ designed (it's btw Chrys herself that models on her website, photo's taken by her talented husband Ben).<br />When I saw the summer models I fell for this <span id="lw_1255630294_1" class="yshortcuts">beautiful thing</span> in white and silver. And Chrys told me I could choose any size I wanted, different details, etc. As I don't have any photo albums to show, I asked if it was ok to make a cover for my laptop instead. Chrys said she'd design something that would fit my wishes and she'd even put on a shoulder strap.<br />After a few rounds at the customs (typical!) the bag eventually arrived today and I picked it&nbsp; up at the post office and took a few quick photo's (it's hard to use a remote trigger btw), to show what a gorgeous thing that is now mine. I can't complain on the quality at all, it's very well made and gorgeous in every way and I really think this model fits my laptop perfectly. And then you can almost die of happiness over the dotted inside. How cute is that?!<br />if you want to order a specially designed slipcover for your photo book, let me know."</p>
