gift giving


My favorite gifts I gave this year were the two photo books I made for my parents. In the age of digital photos that sit on your computer, never to be seen, this my friends is the answer. For the Yosemite book I used Picaboo and for the smaller one I used Artifact Uprising. Both turned out lovely. Artifact Uprising has a high end catalog feel to it which I really like. After it came in the mail I was pretty sold on their product and will be using them for future books. But, regardless which company you use, this gift is a winner every time!

  3. We finally got our acts together and made photo books for our boys for their stockings. We personalized them to highlight the best memories from the past year plus a few portraits. I think they see so few pictures of themselves that aren't on the internet, it is really special for them. We caught our youngest, Emil, just sitting quietly on the couch looking at his while swaying to the music we had playing. Such a great reminder that these are the best things in life!

  5. That really is a great idea. It drives me nuts when people take family photos and such, with promises of "I'll post to Facebook!" but we never see them.
