Get Your Photos Off "The Cloud" with Mixbook: Steven A. from Salem, OR

Have you ever been reminiscing with someone about a moment, and then had to spend 15 minutes searching through your camera roll on your phone or Google Cloud to find the picture that goes with the memory? That is if you can find it at all. We at Mixbook think of "the cloud" as a graveyard for memories. Morbid as that sounds, we believe that a photo is meant to be displayed proudly and make for the best stories. The greatest way to tell those stories in your own unique way is with a personalized photo book.

Mixbook Keeps Your Memories at Your Fingertips

We all need a reason to smile sometimes. When you create a photo book, you are setting your treasured memories to stories where every page makes you smile. Your Mixbook will be the perfect representation of the moments that bring warmth to your heart as you look back on good times. It is not just a dusty old photo album; it is the tale of the parts of your life you want to keep near and dear. Added plus, you cannot accidentally delete a printed photo book. Keep your best moments out of the photo cemetery and let us help you bring them back to life.

My Mixbook Story: Steven A. from Salem, OR

Why do you create photo books?

"I create photo books to give my loved ones ways to look back on cherished memories."

What is most great about a photo book is the ability to share it with the people that you love. Reminiscing about precious times, telling stories of the past, are things that encourage bonding and sharing. Mixbook lets you share these amazing memories with your nearest and dearest without the glare of a screen.

What do your photo books mean to you?

"My photo books have marked really significant points in life - one was a history of my relationship with the person I was going to propose to, and the other was of our wedding. I want to be able to look back on those pictures in a way that's nicer than just looking at them on my computer."

Steven can tell you, a Mixbook is an awesome personal history book. It allows you to tell your story, your way and makes it permanent enough for you to share it with people you care about for years to come. There is nothing more special than a tangible representation of the best moments of your life.

How do you feel when you flip through your photo book?

"I'm reminded of how precious the time we've had together has been, and I feel freshly grateful."

Time is fleeting, but a good photo can make a moment timeless. It can also make a feeling or emotion timeless, reminding you of the joy you felt in that moment. Your photo book is a time capsule of valuable memories that cannot be erased.

What is your favorite feature or tool when using the Mixbook Editor?

"I love the ability to customize the layouts, backgrounds, and elements as fully as Mixbook allows. They cover all their bases - their templates look good, and they're customizable enough to do whatever you want with them."

The idea behind a Mixbook is to tell your story, your way. We give you the tools to make your book an expression of exactly what you want it to be, without it being a hassle. We create a foundation and give you support through the process, but ultimately your photo book is yours to fill.

Describe how you express your creativity with Mixbook.

"Mixbook gives me the chance to stretch my layout design muscles with projects that mean a lot to me. It brings me back to my days of yearbook in a lot of ways. Getting to figure out what looks beautiful and cohesive in a book has been a lot of fun."

When you are creating a Mixbook, it is very personal. In a way, you are creating the pages of your own history, and it is important to us that you can represent that in whatever way is right for you. Whether you are highly artistic or need some help, we help you create the photo book that is perfect for the story you want to tell.
