Share Your Special Memories with Mixbook - Richard M. from Hillsborough, CA

What makes a photo special is the story behind it. Sometimes a photo can tell a whole story, and other times a hundred photos cannot do it justice. That is what makes creating a Mixbook extraordinary. Every photo book tells the unique stories of your most special moments, there at your fingertips to share with the people who mean to most to you.

We encourage our customers to embrace the memories that define their family. By creating a photo book with Mixbook, they can share their most significant memories for generations to come.

My Mixbook Story: Richard M. from Hillsborough, CA

Why do you create photo books?

"To capture the history of special events and years for our family."

Whether you take an annual family vacation, you just turned a milestone year older, or your kid just graduated high school, Mixbook is the perfect way to bring those memories home to cherish over and over again. Photo books become your personal family chronicles, plus they are super fun to create.

What do your photo books mean to you?

"I want to remember and be reminded of the good (and the bad) as my family grows up. And online pictures are too fleeting."

Many of us are no strangers to losing photos in our cell phone camera roll. So many moments get lost there and are never given the justice they deserve. Creating a personalized photo book brings those important moments back to life and easy to share with loved ones.

How do you feel when you flip through your photo book? What emotions come to mind?

"We capture all the events. So mostly good, but also significant or tragic. I mostly love to reminisce and be reminded of what we did and when we did it. I make one book for every year for the last 20 years. And special occasion books too. Those just make us smile."

Richard can tell you about the importance of commemorating family histories. Some stories, while not so cheerful, are equally important to remember. Over the years his photo books have become his family chronicles. They are the history books the future generations of his family will turn to when retelling the tales of the past.

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

"Letting me set my own layouts. And keeping track of which pictures I used. I also like knowing if I have small file issues."

Describe how you express your creativity with Mixbook.

"The choice of layouts is the best. I like photo and colored backgrounds. I use basically any text, cute icons, and borders that I like. The picture outlines are a little rigid, but there are what seems like an endless array of themes to play with and customize. It is hard not to get exactly what I want out of my photo book."
