our family photos {mpix panoramic photobook}

August 3, 2015

I am working through your questions from last week – so many! I am going to break them into four separate posts this week by theme. While I am still working on answering those, I wanted to give you a heads up that Mpix photobooks are on sale this week. A couple weeks ago I shared how I am ordering prints this year instead of a big yearly photo album. My original plan was to make a 2015 family video, but I have not been so on the ball with actually recording video! I need to work on that big time.

Though I am ordering prints for most of our photos, I do want to make a few smaller books for certain themes/events. For my first book this year, I used the pictures from our family session that Shannon shot. It is amazing how fast a book can be put together when I am not doing it for the whole year!

One downside of many basic photo books is how pictures get lost in the center fold. Mpix has a new line of lay flat panoramic books. As I was inserting pictures into the templates, I kept trying to arrange them so nothing important (like a face) would get lost in the center. I was halfway through making the book before I remembered the pages would lay flat and nothing would get lost in the middle. I started the design over, but it was worth it.
