diy boudoir book??

Carol, on July 15, 2018 at 7:05 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 13
Sooo I just had my boudoir shoot today and it was so fun 😍 my maid of honor is a photographer on the side, but had never done boudoir- so this was her gift to me! Now i have to figure out how to get them into a book....

i inow shutterfly has photography books, but I was hoping for something a bit more... elegant maybe? Like several photos on one page and different size photos? If this makes sense?

Any one do a DIY book? I also found a cheap one at Hobby Lobby I can print and glue to pictures in, but I was hoping to check into print options first!!

I dont lnow if im alone in this lol! If anyone has experience in purchasing photos books let me know!

    Gahhh how awesome!!! 😍 I can’t wait to do mine.

    Shutterfly does a lot of different layouts, it’s let me fully customize books before with multiple photos per page at different sizes, etc. They also have the option to upgrade to nicer materials for the cover, including genuine leather. It has been a little while since I’ve done one on there so I could be wrong if they’ve changed this but I don’t see why they would.

    I plan on doing a DIY book as well and this is what I was considering. Alternatively I was going to do as you mentioned and find one at Michael’s, hobby lobby etc to place the photos in. Let me know what you end up doing 😊

    Ohhhh!!! I’ll have to check into Shutterfly more because at davids I got a $25 promo code so that’s ideal! Perhaps it won’t allow me to customize them on the mobile app!

    Hmm maybe that’s it. I’ve always done it on my computer. You just reminded me that I got that code as well!! Completely forgot that it’s still in the bag. Thanks girl 😚

    I plan on using "my bridal pix" website. They have templates for boudoir books.. the problem is they are updating their site right now and said it should be back up by end of July / august.

    Shutterfly has this new book layout that is really heavy duty and lays flat. I haven't ordered one but the images looked nice online. A bit on the pricey side though.

    Yes, I reached out to them via email which I believe there is a "contact us" portion of the website and asked when they would be back up and running which is how I found out about end of July/aug.. they also told me they would send a discount code for me having to wait (still haven't gotten the code tho) so it may be beneficial for you to email them.

    I used Shutterfly to make a boudoir photo book for my FH. Give yourself a few hours to make it! I used the auto program where Shutterfly put all the pictures on pages and they were different sizes. I paid about $75 for the book after all the discounts. It ended up being a black leather bound book that turned out really nice.

    I don't remember exactly what book I bought, layout wise. I did get an 8x8 book, and on the right hand side under where you select your size it says Hard Photo Cover book. If you click on the down arrow Premium Leather Cover Book should come up. That's the option I bought, and it came out well!
