Birthday

Milestone birthday or any year that felt like one. You send photos — old and new, from phone or scan — and a designer builds a book that tells their story. Print it for a 30th, a 50th, a 70th. Or for a kid turning five. The process is the same. The book is always custom.

Which book fits best

Softcover Photo Book

Good when you plan to add a new book each year.

Hardcover Photo Book

Four cover styles, so you can match a formal 60th or a playful 5th. The everyday birthday book.

Layflat Photo Book

Best when you want big full-bleed portraits without a seam cutting through the face.

Heirloom Album

Archival materials. Still readable in forty years. The right pick when the book is going to a parent or grandparent.

The gift people actually keep

A birthday book gets opened once at the party and a hundred times after. It earns shelf space. Grandparents cry. Ten-year-olds memorize the pages. It takes us about two weeks to make and holds up for decades.

What goes inside a birthday book

30–50 spreads works for a milestone birthday. For kid birthdays, 20 spreads per year is plenty.

Chronological run, year by year or decade by decade

A spread of group portraits: family, close friends, the people who shaped the years

Trip highlights, career milestones, inside jokes

A letter or two at the front or back from close family

Yes. Scan them at 300 dpi or higher (most home scanners handle this) and send them alongside digital ones. We can mix decades without a problem.

Yes. We ship in gift-ready packaging, and we can print a dedication spread at the front with a short message from you. Just add it to the brief.

Yes. Send short letters, quotes, or handwritten notes along with the photos. We lay them out as dedication pages at the front, back, or scattered through the book. Just mark who each note is from.
