Life Story Photo Book Design
For family history books, anniversaries & milestone moments
My Life Story photo book design service is unique because together we craft a personal family history book over a period of time up to six months. The book design is more sophisticated too because the focus is on storytelling with a design that combines your photos with text, graphics, and memorabilia to create a rich visual narrative.
This makes them perfect for presenting photo memoirs, corporate histories, and family reunion books, as well as milestone birthday books and anniversary gifts.
Depending on how far back you go, you might want to include old printed photos, transparencies and slides in your design. No problem! Some photo scanning, image editing and photo restoration is included in the package.
And if you're the family historian, weave in your genealogy research, historical documents, and memorabilia that's meaningful to the subject's life like examples of their paintings, embroidery, or WWI medals.
Spend some time planning what kind of text will enhance your photo album design. Consider descriptive captions, diary entries, letters or recipes - whatever will help tell the full story of your parents, grandparents, ancestors, or even yourself.
The way we work together to design your book is outlined below, but you are always welcome to call me to discuss your project too. I hope you're excited about bringing your special book to life, because I believe our Life Story Photo Books are the ultimate photo legacy keepsake.

LIFE STORY PHOTO BOOK - TESTIMONIAL
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have my photos turned into such a stunning album. The entire process was smooth, and the attention to detail was amazing. I felt guided the whole way, and Simone was incredibly helpful in working out how to organise the photos into a meaningful story especially given that some of them were quite old. Her expertise and support made all the difference in creating something truly special.
