The Photo Album

Anyone else still do this? I rarely see photo albums in peoples houses now. They seem to be a throw back to my parents generation because of social media and cloud storage, but I just find something really sweet and calming about getting pictures printed and organising them. I want to be able to just pull an album off the shelf spontaneously if the boys ever bring a girl/boyfriend around. I plan on being maximum embarrassment mum! 😂

TheBookgeekFrau I will always love a photo album! Haven‘t put one together in years though because sending out for prints has become a freakin‘ chore 😄 6y

laurieluna @C.Perone I use Boots photo online. I just log in, upload the photos from my phone and select size and gloss or matt. Et voila. Delivered and then I just stick them in my albums. It can take a while if I haven't done it for a few months though 😂 xx 6y

Zelma I really miss having photo albums. I know i can order albums online but it isn‘t the same as just developing my film and stiffing the, into albums on my shelf. They seem so curated now; I liked the randomness of older albums. 6y

Itchyfeetreader I make photo books - one per year I find it really soothing and enjoy not having to print and stick (I am not good at straight lines!) 6y

laurieluna @Zelma yeah I much prefer putting the photos in myself, but I understand why people also choose the neatness of a photo book like @Itchyfeetreader 😊 6y

amyrohn My mom has a scrapbook for every year since I was born so my house is full of them 😂 6y

MommyOfTwo I haven‘t in a while but plan to soon 6y

laurieluna @amyrohn ah thats so sweet! I'm filling my 3rd at the moment and my son is 3 in a couple of weeks. I love looking back over photos of him as a baby. Time goes so fast! @MommyOfTwo I'm behind with this one, usually do them at the beginning of the year as a new year ritual! Xx 6y

Sophoclessweetheart I have Photobooks rather than albums but I agree that they need to be in print x 6y

PirateJenny My wedding and honeymoon took 5 albums. I'm also doing some for genealogy. 6y

TheBookgeekFrau Yeah, I was using snapfish for a while, but, idk, it was so much more overwhelming than dropping off rolls of film🤷‍♀️ 6y

laurieluna @PirateJenny I'd love to do a genealogy one, I keep meaning to research my family history. @C.Perone that's what I use. It is more time consuming than dropping off a film, but I don't drive so getting to the printers and back is a bit of a hassle for me. Everything is on our phones these days too! Even new cameras use memory cards instead. 6y

laurieluna @Sorceryandswords it's so nice having them there for a spontaneous flick through with a cup of coffee. Doing it on my phone I just get distracted and end up going on the internet etc. I try to be more mindful and photo albums help that. 😊 x 6y
