How it Works:
I. Share your story.
We'll start with an introductory call where I'll learn more about you and your vision.
To share photos, I will provide a Google Drive link or shared album on iPhone.
You can self select photos or save hours with photo curation, an optional service!
II. Create & Design.
Next, I'll design your book. With attention to detail, I create each spread, align and focus each image, and coordinate images by event. You'll receive the draft within 10 days.
On a video call, we will go through each page, making any revisions needed to get your story just right.
III. Deliver memories.
When your book is complete, I'll send you the link to the final draft for ordering your book through Mixbook.
Your design is always stored on Mixbook, so you can always order another copy if you want another book or your original gets lost.
Mixbook will ship your book directly to you, to be enjoyed for years to come!

Hi, my name is Keirstan
My go to gift has always been photo related. Framed photos, photo collages, and of course photobooks. I started Life In Print Designs after making a family photobook for my Mimi to take to her chemo treatments. She loves looking at our family pictures, but they always get lost on her phone. As a family, we created a shared iPhone album, all contributed photos, and I designed a book with hundreds of photos to take her mind off the treatment. She encouraged me to share my love of photobook designs, and Life In Print Designs was born.
Based in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, I'm a wife and mom to a beautiful baby girl. I find the most joy in cooking for my family, hiking, and going on outdoor travel adventures. As a new mom, I constantly have my phone out taking pictures of the big milestones and small everyday moments. Printing photobooks makes these memories manifest, not a distant memory lost in the ether of the cloud.
I hope to help you capture and print all the sweet moments this beautiful life has to offer.
FAQ
How Many photos will be included in my book?
The average photobook has an average of 2.8-3.5 photos per page. Meaning a standard 30 page book will have 85-100 photos. The more photos you have, the longer your book will be. We will discuss book length and photo quantity during our introduction call.
How do I share my photos with you?
If you have an iPhone, I will create a shared photo album that you can add your photos too.
As another option, we can use a shared Google Drive folder. This works best for non-iPhone users or if you have photos on a computer.
If neither of these options work, we can figure out an alternative way to transfer your photos!
Can i select my own photos?
Yes! You can sort through your photos and send me the exact photos your want used in your photobook.
Or you can use the optional photo curation service. With this service, you can share all of your photos. I will sort through and pick the best ones.
