My yearly photo book arrived today. It's 110 pages of photos and notes about last year. I use it has a family journal. I make it on line throughout the year adding a page or two after an interesting event, trip or holiday happens. The company is called Shutterfly and they make beautiful books!
It looks amazing. You are so organized! I did 3 years worth this year as I'd fallen behind. My photos are waning this last year so my book is going to be a lot less full next year unfortunately.
Everything is done on line. You start the book and then save it to a Shutterfly account. You upload the photos as you build the book and then when you are finished and ready to print it, you add it to your cart. The book arrives at your front door a week to 10 days later.
Oh, I bet it's brilliant! I may do a 2021 too. Usually I do a photobook for each trip, but having not done many trips in 2021, perhaps a full year album would be best.
That book looks amazing!
I use Shutterfly to print photos. For books I use a Dutch company, but will look into them as I plan to do a few books later this year.
I am inspired by your beautiful cover and your description. Hmm -- maybe I can do this, too! It's been a decade since I made one and I'm sure the quality of my photography has improved since my point and shoot days. Thanks for the inspiration!
Out of curiosity, how do you find shutterfly compares to blacks for photo books? I used to use shutterfly but switched to blacks some years ago now - I forget why though.
I counted 22 small to 100+ page books that I've made through Shutterfly so far. In fact, brought one out to prove to my daughter and granddaaughter that we did go to the National Aquarium in DC ten years ago when we were talking today :) Been real happy with Shutterfly and love the excitement of seeing a new book arrive. Of course, then you wait for a good sale and free shipping :)
