2016 was a tough year for me in several ways, but there were many moments – with my family especially – that stand out as magical moments during a trying year. Some are big celebrations, birthdays or milestones and some are simply those beautiful mundane moments that happen often daily.

Every year, in January, I try to compile some of these moments into a family photo album. I like to preserve memories from the year that my whole family can use to remember that despite a tough year – there are insurmountable moments of joy, laughter, strength and love!  This year, I used Parabo Press to document these special moments in our family and I love how my photo book turned out. I was able to go back through pictures and remember my oldest daughter’s face performing in her first school musical…my husband’s completion of graduate school…an amazing visit with cousins…and my youngest daughter’s first swim meet, among many others.

The quality of the Parabo Press paper is amazing – thick and luxurious – and my photos look stunning. I like the small size and soft cover of this photobook and the Parabo Press packaging is pretty sweet too.

Right now, Parabo Press is offering a free 5.5″ Softcover photo book with the code NASHV (all you have to pay is shipping) so you too can create a beautiful book to remember 2016 … or a family vacation or simply your favorite Instagram shots!
