Turn a Shoot Into a Book People Hold
Your portfolio, album, or lookbook belongs in one clean book, not a folder of loose prints. A photography booklet is saddle-stitched so it folds flat and opens across a spread, letting a single image run over two facing pages, whether you are leaving a portfolio behind after a shoot, delivering a wedding as a keepsake album, or printing a seasonal lookbook. Sets of 25 booklets start at $240.55 and rate 4.9 out of 5 across 23 reviews.
A booklet presents a full body of work in order and survives on a shelf, and the printed page holds color and detail at a size a phone screen does not. To compare photography booklets with the rest of the range, browse the full lineup on booklets and catalogs printing, or build yours from the choices below.
A photographer leaving portfolios after shoots can start at 25 for $240.55, and a studio printing lookbooks for a season can climb the 18 tiers toward 5,000. Tap any tier below to see its set total and what the step up saves.
What Are Photography Booklets
Photography booklets are saddle-stitched, full-color books printed in 3 sizes, from a 5.5" x 8.5" portfolio up to an 11" x 11" square, on any of 7 inside stocks. People reach for them when a slideshow or a folder of prints will not do: portfolios, wedding and event albums, product lookbooks, gallery catalogs, and client proof books. Because the pages are bound and fold across a spread, a single photo can run edge to edge over two facing pages. If your project is longer or text-heavy, the Standard Booklets run the same way and sit right beside this one as the general-purpose version.
What Size and How Many Pages Should It Be
The right shape comes down to your images and your length. A 5.5" x 8.5" booklet is the pocketable portfolio you can mail or hand out on set. An 8.5" x 11" gives a magazine-scale spread with room for a full-bleed shot, and the 11" x 11" square is the classic album shape that treats portraits and landscapes alike. For length, start at 8 pages, a cover plus 4 inside, and climb 4 pages at a time across 14 options as the story grows. The specs panel below lists all 3 sizes, the page counts, the stocks and the binding. If a square is the whole point, the Square Booklets center on that format.
What Paper and Ink Should You Choose
The inside stock sets how the photos look. A 100# Gloss Text inside pushes contrast and saturation, which suits vivid product and event work. A 100# Silk/Matte Text tones down glare for a softer, gallery feel that flatters portraits. A 70# Uncoated Text reads natural and editorial, closer to a fine-art page. Wrap the inside in a sturdier cover, a 14pt Gloss Cover or an 80# Gloss Cover, so the book holds its shape in a bag, or pick the 30% recycled uncoated cover when the print needs to be greener. Set 4/4 full color to print images on every page, or 1/1 black when the inside is text and layout only. Every booklet is saddle-stitched, and you can choose long or short binding to control which edge holds the staples. For the same binding on a general project, the Saddle Stitch Booklets use it too.

How Much Do Photography Booklets Cost
Photography booklets start at $240.55 per set of 25, and the per-booklet price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 5,000, so a lower cost per book comes down to how big a run you order. A run of 300 is $495.38, 1,000 is $618.39 (around 62 cents each), and 5,000 lands at $1,195.04, close to 24 cents a book. There are 18 quantity tiers in all. Set the slider below to the number of clients or stores you print for to see the set total and the per-booklet cost.
How Do Photography Booklets Compare to the Rest of the Range
A square album, a longer general booklet and a plain saddle-stitched run each start at their own price. The chart below lines up photography booklets against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
How Fast Can You Get Photography Booklets
Photography booklets print on a 7 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to a faster rush speed, all the way down to next day. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Color matters most on a photo book, so proofing is built in: send it straight to production if your file is ready, request a free online proof to confirm layout, or order a next day hardcopy proof to see the real ink on the real stock before you approve the full run.

Photography Booklets: Frequently Asked Questions
Can one image run across two facing pages?
Yes. The booklet is saddle stitched, so it folds flat and opens across a full spread, letting a single image cross both facing pages. Build the file in spreads if that is how you want the work to read.
How many booklets do I have to print for a portfolio?
Twenty five booklets start at $240.55, and the price per booklet drops across 18 quantity tiers all the way to 5,000. A leave behind portfolio usually sits at the low end, while a client album order or a seasonal lookbook goes higher.
Which paper suits photography best?
Seven inside stocks are offered, including 100# Gloss Text, 100# Silk/Matte Text, and 70# Uncoated Text. Gloss pushes contrast and saturation, silk holds detail without glare under gallery lighting, and uncoated gives a softer matte reading.
How long can the book be?
Page counts start at 8 pages, a cover plus 4 inside pages, and step up 4 pages at a time across 14 options. A wedding album or a full season lookbook usually sits well above the starting count.
What size works for an album versus a portfolio?
Three sizes run from a 5.5 inch by 8.5 inch portfolio up to an 11 inch by 11 inch square album, with 5.5 by 8.5 as the default. The square is the format most photo albums use because it treats vertical and horizontal frames equally.
How soon can a client album be produced?
Standard production is 7 business days, with rush down to next day when a delivery date is close. Full color prints on both sides at every speed, so rushing does not change how the images run.
