Profile books

Would anyone like to share their profile books?  (Or is this a private type of thing??)  My husband gave me an inch and I'm taking a MILE!  We're not going to start the process immediately and are going to evaluate where we are financially after he gets his bonus this summer, but I'd love to start getting some thoughts together.  

So, if you'd like to share, I'd love to read 'em.  And if it's a personal type of thing, I completely understand. 

Thanks!

    I'd be happy to share mine. You can PM me.

    But be aware that many agencies are specific in the length and format of profile books, so going whole hog may mean you''d have to change, trim, or significantly alter what you do now. For example, we only did a 2-page profile (now we can go up to 5 pages) and a profile video. But I would definitely encourage you to start getting pictures together.

    Thanks for the advice!  I just feel like there is little I can do right now and thought I'd start getting some ideas... collecting pictures... etc.  

    I PM'd you.  Thanks again!!

    I'm just starting the process myself (waiting for the last information session at an agency next month before committing to one) but I'm working on my profile. It was so much fun putting together and I think probably not a bad idea to start now bc if you're anything like me the only pics you have are at formal events (or events that my camera happy friend happens to be at)  Anywho, you can check out a rough draft of my profile at
