Printed photos don't just preserve memories for us; they help our kids build their own. Seeing themselves in a book, remembering the fun, the love, and the little details of growing up? That's priceless. It's one reason we created the Baby Notebook app. With this convenient tool, you can start your family photo album today.
Your Family Photo Album Simplified with an App
If you're anything like Baby Notebook co-founders Davia and Suzanne, you love the nostalgia that comes with flipping through a family photo album. Unfortunately, conventional memory keeping is way too time-consuming for modern parents. You need a personal assistant to do everything on your list!
That's where the Baby Notebook app comes in. It takes the overwhelm out of creating a family photo album. You don't need to spend hours sorting through thousands of old photos or stressing over lost time. Instead, you can focus on capturing this year, starting now, and building your book as the year progresses.
This easy-to-use app includes features that help you create a fully custom family photo album in just minutes a week. They include:
- Notifications based on the calendar year
- The ability to change page layouts
- Prompts to inspire your storytelling
- Titles that you can edit
Our flexible layouts let you get creative with how you tell your story. When Davia's kids saw her 2024 Family Yearbook, they pointed at a photo of them on a carousel and said, “Look, there it is! Remember when we were pretending the whole crowd was chasing us? And we were the leaders!” Davia had no idea that's how they remembered it, but hearing their story about the photo brought it to life in a whole new way. When we look at a photo of our kids on a carousel, we may remember a fun day together, while they remember the game they were playing, and what they named the horse they were riding. These types of stories can enrich your family photo album.
Moments like that are too special to stay stuck in a camera roll. Whether it's your toddler's silly grin or the way they used to say “basketti” instead of “spaghetti,” these are the memories they'll cherish one day. Did we mention the quote pages included in the family photo album?

Tips and Tricks to Help You Finish Your Family Photo Album
Making a family photo album can be fun and creative with a few simple strategies:
- Embrace the Imperfect: Don't worry about curating the “perfect” family photo album. Include candid moments, messy faces, and silly expressions. This is life the way your family will remember it.
- Involve Your Kids: Make your album even more special by including your children in the process. You can feature their artwork or have them help choose photos. Check out this Reel for inspiration on how to photograph art in creative ways.
- Use the App's Features: Baby Notebook makes it easy to replace pages if you find better photos later. You can also customize layouts, add captions, and ensure your album feels uniquely yours. We believe you deserve to tell your story your way.
- Focus on Moments That Matter: Instead of trying to include every photo, focus on milestones and memories. Think first steps, vacations, birthdays, or the little moments that capture your family's personality.
Remember, the goal isn't perfection; it's preserving the memories that matter to your family.
