Claire Hughes creates bespoke albums from digital libraries, photographs, letters, emails, cuttings and archives.
With discretion, judgement and a refined curatorial eye, Claire brings together images and moments into carefully designed albums of exceptional quality.
Artisanal in their making and deeply personal in their purpose, they are created to be held, shared and kept.

Every commission begins differently. Some hold histories, travels, journeys or celebrations. Others mark a career, a place or an archive that deserves to be brought together with care.
Whatever the nature of the project, photographs, keepsakes and private details are handled sensitively and with the utmost confidentiality.
Family & Legacy
For families who want to preserve the images, memories and small details that might otherwise remain unseen.
A family album can hold far more than photographs. It can gather handwritten notes, travel records, letters, family history and the quiet, treasured moments that give a life its shape.
For birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, occasions and journeys that deserve to live beyond the digital cloud.
Claire creates albums that honour the occasion without overwhelming it, balancing beauty, memory and meaning with a light, considered touch.
Celebrations & Milestones
Remembrance & Tribute
For lives, relationships and much-loved companions remembered through images, words and personal keepsakes.
Handled with particular care and discretion, these projects create something intimate, respectful and lasting; a tribute to be passed down for generations to come.
For private collections, creative archives, career milestones, corporate gifts and showcasing your work in print.
Whether creating a retirement album, a founder’s story, a record of a completed project, a landmark collaboration or a gift for a valued client; Claire works with founders, PAs, family offices, colleagues and teams to bring together material with clarity and confidence.
Professional Archives & Commemorative Gifts
“It’s not so much a photo album, more an original piece of art.”
Abercrombie & Kent
Many projects are inspired by a recommendation, a collection of photographs or simply the feeling that something should be preserved.
