Hello Hello Hello


Hello and welcome to mint cream album designs

I am Mel, Melodee actually but everyone calls me Mel except my Nan who calls me “Melodee Gai” when I am in trouble. Since I was a little girl I have had a very strong loving connection to my Grandparents (Nan and Pop) and I love hearing stories about when they first met and their lives when they were younger. I love looking through old photo albums and listening to them reminisce about days gone by.

So I guess the thing I love most about what I do is preserving very special memories for future generations to enjoy. I truly believe that albums and printed images are the only way that we can be certain that these special moments will be around forever, because as technology changes and advances, gadgets and storage devices become obsolete and unusable along with the images stored on them. Whereas an album will last many lifetimes and requires no gadgets or machines to enjoy it - just a spare few minutes, a nice cup of tea and someone you love to reminisce with.

The story behind Mint Cream Album Designs is that there are so many brides + grooms, mums + dads + kids and couples with baby bumps who would love custom designed professional quality albums to take pride of place on their bookcase.

There are two small stepping-stones that need to be crossed before someone can start their own collection of albums - their own family fairytales. These are not easily navigated stepping stones either, but rather large obstacles that are difficult to access for several reasons:

  • Professional quality album companies only deal with professionals in the photography industry; and
  • Many professional photographers do not offer albums.


So that is where Mint Cream Album Designs comes in. We are thankfully in a position to be able to offer these beautiful albums built by some amazing album suppliers all around the world. We have designed albums for professional photographers for more than 5 years and so we know all the ins and outs of the industry and tricks of the trade to ensure that your album design is a simply stunning addition to your album collection. Part of a collection of albums all standing side by side, forever on the bookcase just waiting to tell their story to the next loved one who opens the cover.

Thank you for stopping by and welcome to this wonderful place we call Mint Cream Album Designs.
