Kathy Kujala Ivany, a freelance photographer and nature lover; putting God’s magnificent creations to print so we can realize what he has created and then go out and take in the beauty in front of us instead of taking it for granted. I often have boxes of pictures that are just sitting around in boxes becoming old and discoloured, or pictures that are on your computer that no one ever sees? If you are like me, then let me be the answer to this problem! As a photographer, I believe that photos should be shared and kept away from the harsh effects of time. I will custom design your personal photo book, upload them to be published so they never get lost, ruined, or discoloured! If you need an extra copy for someone else or something happens and yours gets ruined, you can just re-order a new one at anytime. A book will not be published until you are happy with the result and give the final blessing. I use the publishing company Blurb, and are very confident that you will be pleased with their books. You supply the photographs and any text you'd like, and we'll designs the book for you!
Cookbooks! Also a specialty. As a person who loves to dabble in the kitchen, I know the importance of family recipes. What a wonderful way to welcome a new bride to the family or just to preserve those old recipes before they have been lost forever. See my book “Just for Raven” created for my daughter-in-law upon marriage into our family. It is a compilation of recipes from family and friends together with marriage quotes. Very unique.

How Do I Start?
1) Choose which size of book you are interested in. (7x7, 8x10, 10x8, 13x11)
2) Send me an Email me about what your subject, about how many photos you have, and the style of book you would like.
3) I will then estimate how many pages your photo book will consist of, and email you back with the price.
4) Once you have your estimate, and would like me to continue producing your amazing book, you will need to mail your pictures on either a CD or DVD. I do offer scanning; for an additional $25.00/hour, if your pictures are not in digital format. Please put your pictures in the order you would like them to appear, and/or number them. If it does not matter, then you will get my creative thought process! If you want pictures scanned make sure the pictures are mailed in a hard mailing package so they don't get bent.
5) 50% of the payment is due when you order, and the rest when the book is finished. I accept Paypal, Certified Cheque or Money Order.
6) Once I receive your package, I will begin designing your custom photo book! It can take 1 week to several depending on the amount of photos, if scanning was needed, and amount of text; if any. I will add quotes, or any requested text you ask for.
7) When I finish designing your photo book I will email you a pdf file of your book so you can look over it. I will need your blessing before I upload it to the bookstore for you to order.
8) The rest of the payment is due before I send your photo book to the bookstore.
9) Once uploaded, I will give you the link that will take you right to your book at my Blurb Bookstore where you can order it. You have the option of soft cover, hard cover image wrap, and hard cover dust jacket - prices vary. You also have the choice for premium paper. You will be able to order as many copies as you like.
9) It's very simple and I'll keep communication with you through the whole process. I am very confident that you will be pleased with your custom designed photo book! Together, your pictures and thoughts with my creativity will preserve your memories for generations to come.
10) It's as easy as that!
