How Shoebox Albums Works

Step One–
Scan & Collate Photos for Sharing

The first step is gathering the pieces of a life well-lived. Whether you have printed photos, digital files, or even keepsakes like letters or artwork, I’ll guide you in collecting and organizing them for sharing. I’ll provide scanning tips if needed or you can simply send a box my way. From there, we begin to bring the story into focus.

Step Two–
The Design Process

Once I receive your photos, the transformation begins. Using professional design software, I arrange the images into a flowing, meaningful layout. Carefully balancing aesthetics and storytelling. Each spread is custom-designed to reflect the personality, milestones, and legacy of your loved one. No templates. Just thoughtful, intentional design.

Step Three–
Proofing & Editing

You’ll receive a full digital proof of your album
to review at your own pace. This is your chance to make edits, suggest changes, or request rearrangements. I want every page to feel just right. We collaborate until everything feels exactly how it should, beautiful, respectful,
and true to the story you’re telling.

Step Four–
Send to Print

Once approved, your album is prepared for professional printing. I work with trusted print
partners here in the US, who specialize in heirloom-quality books. From the paper to the binding, every detail is chosen for its durability and beauty—so your album will last for generations.

Step Five–
Final Product in
Your Hands

Your finished album arrives ready to hold, share, and treasure. Whether it’s a quiet comfort or the centerpiece of a family gathering, this book becomes a legacy, a way to revisit memories, honor a life, and pass the story forward.

All my best to you,
