“Don’t be like me and wait years to make the change.”
When you’re photographing over 100 weddings a year, every hour counts.
For Las Vegas-based photographer Chris Benavides, designing albums seemed like a time-consuming task—until he discovered Fundy Designer and the power of Auto Design.
This is his story—and how he went from skipping album sales to building a new revenue stream, without spending hours behind a computer.
“I Never Pushed Albums… Until I Met Andrew from Fundy”
Chris has spent the past decade capturing weddings, elopements, maternity sessions, and family portraits. While he loved documenting these special moments, he admits that selling albums was never part of his regular workflow.
“I didn’t want to do it because it felt like too much work… in other words, laziness.”
Then at WPPI, he met Andrew Funderburg, founder of Fundy Designer.
Andrew took the time to walk Chris through the software and showed him how easy it could be to design and sell professional albums with just a few clicks.
That moment changed everything.
The Game-Changer: Auto Design
With a packed schedule of 125+ weddings and elopements each year—plus destination shoots—Chris didn’t have hours to sit and design layouts manually. But Fundy Designer’s Auto Design feature fit perfectly into his fast-paced business.
“All the albums I’ve sold have literally been done with Auto Design! Yes, some customers have asked for a few tweaks, but at least I’m not spending hours behind the computer.”
Auto Design instantly creates professional album layouts from your image set in minutes. You can still customize and fine-tune, but the heavy lifting is done for you—saving hours of time without sacrificing quality.
Time Matters Most
For Chris, the true benefit isn’t just income—it’s also about the freedom do more with loved ones.
“Time and activities with my loved ones, and especially my wife. Happy wife, happy life!”
By using Fundy Designer to streamline album design, Chris is able to focus on what matters most: spending quality time with his family and living life outside the editing chair. The albums he used to avoid? They’re now a source of extra income, without the extra burden.

“Don’t be like me and wait years to make the change.”
Chris’s message to other photographers is simple: there’s real money to be made with albums—and Fundy makes it easy. Whether you’re a wedding photographer or a portrait artist, offering professional albums not only increases your income, it elevates the experience for your clients.
