100% of My Clients Want More Photos Than They Realised!

A Swiss pet photographer’s guide to choosing between chic albums and stylish Italian folio boxes in Lausanne, Geneva & La Côte.

As a Swiss pet photographer specialising in chic fine art animal portraits, I’ve noticed one thing again and again: every client thinks they’ll choose just a few images to display on their walls….but when they see their gallery, they fall in love with far more than they expected.

So what happens when you’ve planned to select three portraits for a display in your home, but suddenly you want them all?
That’s where my two most popular options come in:

  • A Custom Italian Folio Box — a high-class, stylish display for 10–25 portraits.

  • A Luxury Customised Photo Album — a timeless keepsake that holds 24–40 images.

Let’s explore both, so you can decide which best tells your pet’s story.

Photo Albums

Custom designed luxury photo album, Mont Blanc Photography, swiss animal fine art portrait photographer.

Albums are the perfect choice if you want to preserve the full story of your pet. From elegant portraits to candid expressions, tiny detail shots to funny bloopers, an album captures every side of your animal.

Each album is custom designed to reflect your taste. Together, we’ll create a layout that highlights your favorite images and tells the story of your animal. You’ll choose cover materials and colors that complement your home’s style — and you can even personalise it with your pet’s name on the cover.

Pros:

  • A beautiful way to preserve high-class photography in one place.

  • Captures not only portraits, but also the candid, funny, and emotional moments.

  • A true storybook — as you flip through the thick silk pages, you’ll relive the love and personality of your pet again and again.

Cons:

  • Albums are usually tucked away until you take them out, so they aren’t always on display.

Still, for many of my clients in Lausanne, Geneva, and across the La Côte region, albums become their most cherished keepsake.

Custom Italian Folio Boxes

Our luxury Italian folio box, for display of your photos, from the Swiss fine art animal photographer - Mont Blanc Photography.

If you’d like a more visible display, the Custom Italian Folio Box may be the right choice. These are designed for showcasing your photos in a chic, high-class way. With luxury mats and a sleek, sturdy design, they can be displayed on a coffee table, sideboard, or anywhere you like.

One of their biggest advantages is flexibility — you can swap out the photo in the display window as often as you wish. Many clients even use them as an alternative to wall art, especially in rented homes where hanging frames isn’t an option.

Pros:

  • A stylish, portable way to display 10–25 images.

  • Flexible — change up the display whenever you like.

  • Perfect for showcasing your most chic fine art animal portraits.

Cons:

  • Clients often reserve their most polished, elegant portraits for the folio box. This means the sillier, more personality-filled photos often get left out.

Which Should You Choose?

It depends on how you want to experience your portraits:

  • Albums are storytelling treasures. They hold every moment — the stunning, the silly, the soulful — creating a complete memory of your pet.

  • Folio Boxes are refined displays. They highlight your very best portraits in a way that feels stylish and ever-changing.

Many clients choose both: a few statement portraits for display, and an album for the whole story or a Folio box to display more photos as their whim takes them.




A Final Word

Whether you’re based in Lausanne, Geneva, or anywhere in the La Côte region, I’d love to help you preserve your pet’s personality in a way that fits your lifestyle. As a Swiss animal photographer, my passion is creating high-class, fine art portraits that blend elegance, warmth, and storytelling.

From custom-designed albums to Italian folio boxes, you’ll have a timeless way to celebrate the bond you share with your animal.
