Cameo Windows: The Cover Feature Your Clients Didn’t Know They Needed

There’s something magical about seeing a favourite image right on the cover of an album. It instantly personalises the book, gives it context, and creates that emotional pull before a single page is turned.

That’s exactly what a cameo window does. It’s simple: a beautifully cut square (11x11cm, to be precise) that frames one standout photo. Just enough to tease what’s inside, and just bold enough to make the album feel unmistakably theirs.

We’ve now made cameo windows available on our leather and velvet covers because clients love softness and elegance, but they also love seeing themselves. So whether you’re going for rich and timeless with Canary Leather, or soft and dramatic with Selfoss Velvet, you don’t have to choose between texture and personality. You get both.

Cameo albums are incredibly effective when selling to couples, families, or parents. They feel more personal. More gift-worthy. More "this belongs to us." And let’s be honest, when they see their own faces on the cover, clients are far more likely to say “we want this one.”

So next time you're building out your samples or helping a client choose their design don’t sleep on the cameo window. It’s one of the easiest ways to make an album unforgettable.
