I love how I could include so many photos within each page spread. The photo quality is wonderful, and the layouts look so professional! Our photo books are hardcover which makes them very durable, and the paper is very thick. I was very impressed with the quality as soon as we took out both books and started flipping through the pages. You can also include photos on the back covers as well! Briellle is on the left with her crocheted lamb hat (see HERE) and Myla is on the right! This is Baby Myla!Īnd this is Baby Brielle wearing her Bear Pom Beanie that I designed! I went with their 8.5 x 8.5″ Classic Square Photo Books. Within less than a week, they printed my books and they arrived at our doorstep- I was delighted with how quickly they came! Do you recognize which baby is which? In the end I had about 35 pages for each book! After I previewed both books and was happy with the formatting, I placed my order and eagerly awaited their arrival in the mail. The hardest part was actually organizing all my photos and deciding which ones to include. You can include text, special quotes, and bible verses to really personalize your book! They offer a wide variety of layouts, backgrounds, and stickers, which makes formatting the books very easy! Their interface is very user-friendly and straight-forward. I simply uploaded all the photos I wanted to use and dragged them onto the pages. Once I decided upon my theme, it was very easy to put together my Mixbook. Mixbook offers many themes for their photo books, including family, travel, wedding, year in review, and baby! Within the baby theme, they had many beautiful templates available, and I decided to go with “ Baby Magazine”. Thus, I decided to make a baby book for each of the girls through Mixbook, documenting their newborn stages to when they turned 1! During the girls’ first year of life, we took newborn and monthly photos to show their growth and how much development occurs over those first 12 months! I was meaning to put together a baby book for each of them, but I never came around to doing it. With the advent of digital photography, we actually rarely print out our photos now as we simply look at them through our computer and phones. When Mixbook reached out to me and asked if I wanted to try some of their products, I thought it would be a great opportunity to finally print some of our photos. I enjoy looking through old photos of our trips to relive the experience, and sometimes I cannot believe how much the girls have grown when I look through their baby photos! Pictured below is one of my all-time favourite travel photos from our very first trip to Maui- isn’t this banyan tree stunning? I felt like a little fairy sitting atop the branch of this magical tree! Photography is a major part of our blog, and we love documenting our special occasions, travels, and experiences in general through photos! I am so thankful that Ryan loves photography and he has such a great eye.
