Priceless Christmas Gifts

November 4, 2013 by Momento Photobooks

The thing that excites me most about Christmas is the anticipation of giving customised gifts. I can confidently say that nothing makes me happier than the grin on a loved one’s face as they unwrap a great gift. It’s the reason I hunt for weeks to find exactly the right personalised presents. Story Books I am a self confessed read-a-holic. Some of my fondest childhood memories are from story time and the special little books my Aunt made me filled […]

Living History

August 26, 2013 by Momento Photobooks

We have just embarked on the last week of Family History month and across Australia and online there have been many special events and competitions helping us dig a little bit deeper into our origins. In an attempt to record my own family history I have been researching and blogging about ‘history’ themed photo book designs. However, this week I started dreaming about my next project (as we all do, right?), and about how the contemporary content of the photo books […]

August 6, 2013 by Momento Photobooks

I was rummaging through the cupboards last weekend when I came across an antique box filled with ‘life snippets’ from my Grandmother. There were plenty of photos, recipes, magazine clippings, war time paraphernalia, tickets, letters and recipes – snapshots into her former years all waiting to be discovered. I decided then and there that this stuff needed to be archived and what better way to do so than in a Family History photo album? August 2013 is Family History month […]

Let’s start a photo book company!

May 6, 2013 by Momento Photobooks

That was the crazy idea we had 10 years, 7 months and 6 days ago, when Geoff and I sat awe-inspired on the edge of Vermilion Lakes, Banff, Canada. Me with wine in hand watching the sun set, Geoff madly trying to catch the awe-inspiring moment on our beloved Sony 3 mega pixels digital camera. Geoff and Libby in Canada, 2002 Imagine the Leyland Brothers campervan with a Tardis like interior, decked out by Steve Jobs, and that was […]
