I feel like I filled my walls with as much stuff as possible within a year of moving in. I occasionally swap out a family photo for a newer version, but have had to start making photo books of really special pictures in lieu of erecting additional walls. It seems like a much more economical solution, right?!
My very favorite of all the photo books out there is the premium panoramic photo book from mpix.com. Mpix is actually my go-to source for canvases and frame worthy prints as well. Their quality is extremely high and I have always been very pleased with their work. Because they are pricier than others (ie. shutterfly, snapfish, cvs), I usually stalk their site for a deal before ordering anything big. They don’t rotate through sales quickly, so you really do have to be patient – and ready – to catch one.
I finally caught one of those aforementioned deals and made the pictures from our family photo session last year at Disney into a book.
I upgrade to the premium paper and it is really, really nice. The colors are so vibrant and the pages are extremely thick. You can choose the layout for each page, but it does take some time. To keep things a bit easier I stick with three page designs – the full page portrait (left below), the large portrait page (right below) and the two page spread (next photo).
Speaking of the two page spread, this is what sold me on this book. It’s just SO pretty to see the most special of the special like this.
So, anyway, if you’re anything like me and have way too many pictures for your walls I thought you might be interested in these books. This is my second panoramic book, with the first one being from the year before. I love them and just wanted to share!
