Photo Albums of LO

amy259 · July 2011

Since Myst was talking about printing out pictures I have to ask if you ladies are making actual photo albums of your LO's? I know a lot of people do the photo books from shutterfly but they are expensive. I feel like with even my wedding photos they are still sitting in a box somewhere and I never put them in an album (or saved on the computer). I love being able to look at my own baby albums and want LO to be able to do the same.

I have printed out a few pics here and there but the only actual album we have is very small. I upload all my LO pics to shutterfly in the meantime until I can make a digital book or decide to just use regular prints. Then nice thing about that is that they never delete the pics and it has the date taken in the info section. The pics I'm getting today are actually to send to my parents and mil.

I think I may wait until he's 6 months or a year old to do a big book. I also look for coupon codes for these books or may even use my pampers gtg points. We have a few books from shutterfly- from our honeymoon, wedding, and one of Biscuit. I really cherish them.

there are lots of online photobook services such as picaboo, blurb, and mypublisher. if you sign up for emails, they have a lot of deals, including buy one get one free!

i am printing out some pictures for a brag book and also a friend of mine gave me an idea to make a photo album for DD of herself. it wont be 'nice' since her slobbery little fingers will be all over it, but i thought that was a cool idea.

I have plans to do the photo book from one of the online services. I want to put my Maternity pics along with LO's newborn, 3mo, 6mo, 9mo and 1 year pics in it. I have the same photographer doing ALL of these photo sessions.

I may make a separate photo album with the random photos I've taken of him. I'd like to have a photo book or album for every year of his life. Or at least for the first 5 years until he starts getting school pictures.

I have every single picture of Jessica printed out and stored in order of dates inside a photo box. I also have all the really good pictures printed out and placed into a photo album. Then I have my favorites printed again and mailed to my husband who has his own small photo album downrange. I have also made a photo book of Jessica's birth-2 months pictures and sent it to all the grandparents. Eventually I will print more pics and make a scrapbook for myself too. So basically I have like 4 hardcopies of everything lol.

I am working on a photobook on shutterfly right now. Like pp said if you sign up for their site usually you get good discounts sent to you. I have a $25 off at shutterfly to use so that is why I chose that site.

I'm making a little book for each month of his first year on CVS.com...you can make smaller books for under $10 and pick up in store. I don't know if you have one near you but I know that if I just print the pictures I'll never get them put in a book so for me this is easier and worth the money.

P.S.- Sorry my picture is so RIDICULOUSLY large! I don't know how to make it smaller

I have all pictures printed so far & have plans to make a scrapbook for his first life so we can put things in it like his hospital bracelets, etc. I am slacking on it though, since I don't have time to myself to do it... everything is sitting in a box!
