Need opinions on Album (UPDATED with pics on 2nd page as per suggestions)
I started our day after album layout and I'm finally settling on a style signature of my own which is exciting. I tend to like simpler layouts with a little bit of Photoshop work but not too much and i stay away from busy layouts because it gives me a headache if too much is going on.
I want a classic timeless look with a modern edge but I don't want it to be boring. So i want to post a few and get opinions. TIA girls.
ETA: Updated with pics down below. They were too big so had to resize.

Re: Need opinions
Dang things wouldnt post! Too big-had to resize. LOL Ok take two...(in no particular order.) i will be doing some full spread pics-like one pic across 2 pages like the one in the tree. and some of the usual overlapped pics-background pic and others on top. I just want a clean look but not boring.
ETA: UPDATING with changes as per suggestions from you ladies. still missing a few spreads but almost done. I'll hold off posting anymore after this till its completed so not to bore anyone.
From white background to black and excahnged the side pics as suggested to pics of us.

Re: Need opinions
OMG Jenn these are GORGEOUS.
Here's one edit regarding content (versus layout) that you might or might not like...
In the first spread, we've got DH buckling your shoe; then 2 pix later it looks like you're fixing what he did. Now this may be exactly the way it all went down, , but it reminds me a wee bit of what goes on when I ask DH to load the dishwasher, and I end up rearranging everything 5 minutes later.
Other than that the layout/content are SUPERB to my amateur eye!!!

My vote is for the one of YOU buckling. You look like you know what you're doing; DH looks like he's concentrating WAYYYY too hard (as my DH would be too).
I also love the watermark pic behind that of his boots and your sexy red shoes, that's a great background!!!!

Yea that was my vote too because its a brighter shot but I was rubbing behind his ears in the other pic because he did look so cute with that INTENSE concentration like he was difusing a bomb and not just buckling my ankle strap. Gotta love boys.
Thanks!

Maybe you could reverse them? So the one of you doing it is first, and then the one of him is after it so it looks like he came to the rescue to help you with your shoe!?  I just think they are really cute pics.

Re: Need opinions
I LOVE THEM!
One edit and this is totally personal preference but I am not a fan of the close up of the same picture on the same page as the original ( when you are laying on his lap )
i have it in my album and i wish i had taken it out, just seems like a waste of space to me where you could put another picture in!
but i dont really have an artistic eye.
other than that, AWESOME!

Re: Need opinions
So the last 2 spreads-you dont find those two similar to one another? they wouldnt be anywhere close to one another in the album at all and I like both layouts but I awas afraid they might look too similar.

Oh thats a good idea Gina. Im going to try that and see how that looks. Because that is sort of what happened. I couldnt get it and he took over and I found it cute of him. Thanks!

Re: Need opinions
I think they are amazing!! Seriously, you are very talented.
I do agree with Tilde though about the closeup of you on his lap....is there another pose from you guys on the bench?
I haven't done my parent albums yet....do you do albums for others by chance?

Thanks Tilde-this is why I ask for other eyes because I thoiught that too but DH liked it. Im still not sure about it because it does seem repetitive to me. Im going to look at the other pics as I design the rest of the pages and see if anything might work better.

Thanks Kath! You know from you I take that seriously since you're an artist too. Sometimes we get overcritical of ourselves so need fresh eyes.

Jenn, I think they look FABULOUS!!! Seriously, you have a great talent! This spread is my ABSOLUTE favorite! I just love how it's designed and the slight PS effect with the fading and then the words...
The others are fab too - not overly simple, but not overdone either.

Re: Need opinions
Ooh, you mentioned that the last two may be too similar and I hadn't noticed it at first, but they are... what about changing the last one (leave the 2nd to last one ALONE please!!!!!) and put the pic of you two on the right and then do the 3 smaller pics on the left - basically the opposite of the 2nd to last layout? Just to change it up a bit.
When are you helping me with mine?????????????????????
