Whenever anyone thinks of a defining moment in their life or even that of someone close to them, the first thing they reach for is a cellphone or camera to take a photo. Photos are the timelines of our lives. They remind us of the important things, no matter how grand or small. Walking past a printed photo is a daily reminder of a moment you want to cherish forever. It is not just part of a memory card or cell phone album; it is a constant permanent reminder of a special moment. We cherish your moments too, and love bringing them to life with photo books.

Reliving Life's Best Moments with Mixbook

Every person's life is a progression of moments that eventually become memories. Some of those memories are trivial, but others give them comfort or make them smile. When we at Mixbook print the book you created for you, we are putting our passion into preserving your memories for lifetimes to come. We feel the same joy you do when you are flipping through the pages of your past, reliving the moments that mean everything to you.

My Mixbook Story: Traci F. from Upland, CA

Why do you create photo books?

"I create photo books as a final product for clients after organizing, scanning, and color-correcting their precious memories. A photo book is truly the best viewing product and will last for at least 100 years."

The greatest minds and philosophers always wanted to make history so that their stories would be told for generations to come. Today, documenting someone's life or story is much easier than having to discover gravity. We all deserve to have our stories preserved, not just for us but for our next generations.

Why are your photo books important to you?

"After suffering memory loss from a car accident, photos have become my main source of recalling some of the most important events in my life."

Sometimes, a printed photo is the only link people have to the past moments in their lives. Like in Traci's case, her photo books are her connection to the bits of her memory that she can no longer recall in her mind.

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

"When I flip through a completed photo book, I smile as I recall creating the pages and retelling the story."

The unique quality of a photo book is that not only does it display a person's memories, but it is also a fun creative process.

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

"My favorite feature in Mixbook is the automatic layout. I can throw 5-10 photos in a page and automatically align everything in proportion to the page with 1 click."

Creating a photo book does not need to be a daunting task. We want just the opposite. We want you to be as creative as you want to be, and help you make the best version of your Mixbook without it being a headache.

How do you express your creativity with Mixbook?

"I am not very creative so having someone else create the layouts and color scheme is very helpful for me. I am able to be creative with the photos I add to my pages."

Not everyone is an artist or graphic designer. Mixbook makes it easy to customize your photo book with ease, and not get lost in the technical stuff. We want you to love your book and not get frustrated making it.
