Hardcover Books

If you are the parent of a budding artist who is also a person who tries to keep clutter to a minimum, you might have a dilemma on your hands. And if you have more than one child who proudly comes home with artwork to be displayed, then you may find it overwhelming. As much as you want to hold onto a treasure each thing your child creates, you may run out to space.

This is where a photo book from YourPhotos.com can make all the difference. If you tell your child that you plan to photograph their artwork and that you will put the photos in a book for him or her to keep, you can minimize any hurt feelings about taking down artwork. You could even create a photo book for each year and remind your child that the photos can be used to make other keepsakes like keychains and photo mugs to send to grandparents and other relatives.

Create Wedding Shower Photo Books with YourPhotos.com

April 12, 2011 by Photo Gallery

A wedding is a special time and everything that leads up to the big day is a part of the process. This includes a wedding shower, be it a bridal shower or one of the combined showers for the bride and groom that have come become popular in recent years.

Since YourPhotos lets you create photo-filled keepsakes, why not make a photo book out of the guest book for your wedding shower? You can include some pages of photos–either of the bride or groom’s early years and courtship or photos of them with the friends and family who are helping to celebrate their marriage and the festivities that lead up to it. Whether you alternate pages of photos or included photos in one sections, the rest of the book can leave space for the wedding shower attendees to offer congratulations and write messages to the happy couple.

This kind of keepsake is great because it has a more candid feel than official albums of wedding photographs. The notes from friends and family can be treasured throughout the years and perhaps later shared with the couple’s children.

Create Unique Yearbooks with YourPhotos.com

April 7, 2011 by Photo Gallery

In a time when everything is individualized and customizable, why should yearbooks be any different?

While it is true that each yearbook gets customized based on the signatures and messages written in it by friends and teachers, every yearbook layout is essentially the same. With YourPhotos.com, you can offer students and faculty the opportunity to get creative. Staff and students can select the photos and the layouts they want and make their own unique yearbooks.

if you do not want to give that much creative license, you can still use YourPhotos.com to create yearbooks that truly reflect your school, place orders for them and we will send them to you.

When you employ a company to put together a yearbook, they do their best, but they may not be familiar with your school or its population. They use set templates that they alter, but they may not quite capture what is great about your school.

Yourphotos.com is a great option for small charter and private schools because we are not going to set a high minimum order of yearbooks that must be sold. You can also give students and staff the option of purchasing other items, such as keychains and coffee mugs, made with yearbook photos.
