What is the Best Way to Make a Photo Book?

The best way to make a photo book is the way that you are certain to finish the book!

Start with an Outline

The standard photo book is 20 pages (or 21 pages). Each additional page can add to the cost of the book. So, I like to start with a simple outline. This way I can plan out what goes on each page. Here's an example.

• Page 1                Title Page – My Dad Through the Years
• Pages 2-3           Childhood Photos with siblings
• Pages 4-5           Teens and high school
• Pages 6-7           Serving in the Military
• Pages 8 -9          Meeting Mom
• Pages 10-11        Wedding
• Pages 12-13        Having Kids
• Pages 14-15        Outdoorsman
• Pages 16-17        BBQ Competitions
• Pages 18-19        Photography/Fun Times
• Pages 20             Quote

I can see what photos I need to gather and put into my book. There's a clear beginning and ending to this photo book project.
