Questions

What do I need to start?

Their name, their age and a clear, recent photo. Then tell us about them and a day you want kept. The more you tell us, the more the story is theirs.

How are the pictures made?

Every picture is made from your photo. A person checks every page before it prints.

Can more people be in it?

Three people are included, the child and two more. Up to six in one book, $15 each from the fourth.

What if it's not right when it arrives?

Not happy with it? Send us a photo and we'll reprint it. No questions asked.

What happens to the photo?

We use it only to make this book. More on the Paperlake privacy page.
