Cruise Photo Album Printed!

Paul and I went on a cruise vacation to the Caribbean in December 2008 (you can read all about it in previous posts!), and I had been meaning to get some photos printed from the vacation. On our previous vacations, I had just put the pictures into a photo album, but I wanted to get a photo book printed up this time. After looking at a few different companies online, I decided to go with Photo in Press.

Creating a photo album at this website is really easy and intuitive - you download the software to your computer and create your photo album by using the program. Once you are finished creating the album, you just upload it to the website and can pay easily with Paypal. The program has an auto-save function so you don't have to worry about saving your work, and you can preview how the finished album will work at any time.

We chose a blue suede finish cover (you can choose from a bunch of different colors), but you can choose to get a little fancier with a leather cover, or a printed photo jacket for your book. You can add as many pages as you'd like to your book (up to 100) - mine came out to be about 50 pages and I have TONS of photos in it from the whole week-long vacation.

You can choose to fill the entire page with one photo, or put several photos or text on a page. It is entirely up to you! While the program does have its limitations (only a few different fonts and font sizes), it does have many layouts and colors to choose for each page, and it is quite customizable while remaining user-friendly for the average person.

I am really happy with this photo book! The quality is excellent and the book arrived within a few days of placing my order! The shipping cost was low as the company is located within Canada, and it was shipped Express. While making scrapbooks is a ton of fun, getting this photo book professionally printed ended up costing a lot less than it would be to purchase a scrapbook and scrapbook supplies, as well as getting photographs printed. I would highly recommend Photo in Press to anyone who is looking to remember a vacation or any special moments in their lives!
