When it comes to picture-taking, almost all of my current photos feature my 9-year-old twins. Unfortunately, the rest of the family often gets neglected (especially since they hate to get their pictures taken). So when my oldest son recently graduated from college, I took the opportunity to create a photo book featuring just him! I went through all of my photos from the past 10 years and picked out ones that I liked. And then I created a photo book from Blurb!
Blurb allows you to make photo books three different ways: easy-to-use templates, more customization, and full creative control. I’m not very graphics-savvy, so I chose one of the templates from their Designer collection. I selected the Marfa design, which looks like this:
It was so easy to use the Bookify program. I just uploaded my photos and placed them on each individual page. I also personalized the cover with a photo, along with my son’s name and the date. The result was a beautiful 7x7-inch hardcover photo book that I will cherish forever!
If you’re more creative than I am, you can create books from your pictures on Facebook or Instagram. Design your own book in various sizes and formats. Order multiple copies for family and friends and get a discount on bulk orders! Blurb’s photobooks are easy, fun and affordable.
Father’s Day will be here soon, and a customized photo book would be the perfect gift for the fathers, grandfathers, and other special guys in your life! You can fill your book with favorite photos, quotes and words of wisdom, pictures of special events, and even family recipes. The possibilities and ideas are endless!
