Photo Book Design

Telling your family’s story, one year at a time.

“…beyond anything I could have imagined...”

“When I opened the book for the first time, I was absolutely blown away. Allison had taken my collection of 3,000 photos and transformed them into a stunning, one-of-a-kind book that beautifully captured this special moment in my life.

This project was deeply personal, and Allison treated it with the care and creativity it deserved. The final book is beyond anything I could have imagined. Thank you, Allison, for turning my cherished adventure into a meaningful and timeless keepsake!”

When our photos live on our phones, our kids don’t see them.

They don't see those ordinary and precious parts of their life that we wanted to remember by snapping a photo. The only photos of their life are in the cloud, without a device to reach said cloud. We're drowning in photos that our kids will never see.

This is why Yearbooks are important.

To shift our kids just a little bit from digital to analog, and to shift our photos from invisible to visible.

To lessen our dependence on big cloud companies to keep track of our memories, and to have something tangible that won't disappear if you stop paying for digital storage.

Do your kids need access to your photos?

I am not a robot.

It would be faster and cheaper if I was a robot. It would be easier if I sent my photos to a big company to let their AI models decide which photos should be included in a photo book, but I hate the idea of a machine deciding what’s important for me to remember.

It has no heart.

It deletes photos of my daughter with her signature toddler scrunchy face because it thinks her eyes are closed. It removes the images of my babies sleeping because their eyes *are* closed. It thinks that any photos that are blurry are unworthy of being printed.

It doesn’t understand the story my family is telling, and it can’t tell it for us.

Yearbooks combine the thing you need (a completed photo book for your family to keep) with the service you want (a caring human who curates and creates the book from the hundreds of photos you’ve taken over the course of a year).

I want to know, before I make your book: what’s most important to you to remember in this book?

FAQ’s

(You have questions. You’re not the only one.)

Yearbooks are perfect for busy families who regularly take photos on their devices, and want those photos curated into something meaningful, out of the cloud, where their kids can see them, but who don’t have the time to make that happen on their own.
Nope! If you’d rather do a baby book or a commemorative book over a series of years, or even a special event book, I’m happy to help with that instead of a book that covers a given year.
I’ll send you instructions on how to quickly and easily upload your images to a secure gallery, when we’re ready to get started. If you already have your photos gathered in one place on your computer, you can skip step 1!
You’ll be sending me digital copies, not originals, so I’ll delete the ones that we don’t use for the project and send you the curated gallery when I’m done. Once you download your gallery, I’ll delete all of the photos you sent me. I won’t keep any of your personal photos and I won’t use them for anything other than our yearbook project.
