Meet Mixbook: Our Secret to Creating Family Photo Magic
by Kate Cartia
Don’t let those memories stay stuck on your camera roll
We’d be shocked if you’re a parent whose phone isn’t chock-full of thousands of pictures of your kids. Everything from big moments to small snaps—we’ve got a picture of it. And while those family photos are a lot of fun to scroll through and post to Facebook, they usually don’t get much further than that.
Although we don’t have to take rolls of film to get developed or wind disposable cameras anymore, that doesn’t mean that your precious family photos have to end up buried in your camera roll. Whether you consider yourself an artsy DIY-er or would rather not make-your-own…anything, you can create stunning photo keepsakes that fully reflect you, your family, and your personality. Really!
And you can do it all easily. All you need is a phone full of pictures and Mixbook.
