We take photos to remember the moments in our lives that mean something special. From the casual capture of a smiling selfie with your favorite people to scenic landscapes, these are the moments that make us feel good. Printing said moments is our second chance at reliving those favorite moments and giving them life again. This is why we create photo books.

My Mixbook Story: Kathleen D from California

Why do you create photo books?

Creating photo books is such a great way for me to honor my memories, cherish the good times, and have something so memorable and inspirational to not only show my friends and family, but for me to enjoy at the drop of a hat. I create for lifelong cherished memories, to soothe my wanderlust soul, and to make my heart happy.

How do you feel when you look back at your printed memories?

I feel happiness mostly, but also sadness if loved ones have passed on and/or friendships have ended. I mostly feel love, because my soul is happiest when I’m traveling, exploring new places, meeting new people, and tasting new foods.

What do your photo books mean to you? Why are they important?

They mean lifelong cherished memories, happiness and cherished time with family and friends. Memories are so important because that’s all we have when our loved ones depart.

How do you use Mixbook’s customization tools to tell your story?

My favorite tool is very basic, but very important. It’s the text box feature. I love to add stories to my pages, remember special moments or events that made my trip so special.

My creativity is best expressed through color choice. I love adding color to my pages through frames, text, and backgrounds. Stickers are a big favorite also!
