An alternative to the photo album: tell the story instead of storing it

A traditional photo album preserves images. A personalized illustrated book uses your photos as references, connects the moments through a narrative and gives the reader a beginning, a journey and an ending.

How it differs from a photo album

Your original photos become illustrated scenes and your memories become a written narrative. Even an older or imperfect photo can work because it guides the illustration rather than appearing as the final printed image.

When a photo album remains the right choice

Choose a traditional album when faithful archival reproduction is the priority. Choose an illustrated book when you want to convey a story and emotion. The two formats can complement each other.

How many photos are required

Two clear portrait photos are enough to start. Additional photos help with clothing, locations and meaningful moments, but the narrative carries the book.

What is the difference from a classic photo book?
A photo book displays the original pictures. LoomyBook redraws them as scenes and connects those scenes through a written story.
Can I use old or imperfect photos?
