making tactile memories with papier.

I take photographs of everything, all the time, but I very very rarely get any of those photos printed out, no matter how much I love them. I am obsessed with nostalgia, and love to look back on photos that remind me of particular times, so when Papier got in touch & asked if I'd like to make my own photobook, I said yes.

It took me a while to compile the photos I wanted to have in my book - I chose over 100 photos from last summer up until this month. Gradually, I narrowed them down to just the very best or most special. 

Papier sent me a £100 voucher, which meant I could get two books. I chose the minimal, square option, uploaded all my photos, and set about filling the pages. I didn't have a finished look in mind when I started, but they came together so easily and so well. Once I'd planned it all out, I couldn't wait to receive my printed books. 

It felt only natural to name the books "open", as they are filled with images from a very important time in my life, when suddenly it felt like there were so many doors opening for me. Inside there are photos from special days, special people and creatures I love, as well as photos I just love for what they look like. 

I was so impressed with the quality - lovely thick, matte paper and the images have come out beautifully!

It's so lovely to have these memories in my hands. Having a tactile book of these special moments to flick through, instead of scrolling through my phone, is such a good feeling. I know these are books that I will keep forever.

The books are fully customisable, and would make incredible gifts, or a wonderful way to showcase your best photos and create a coffee table book!
