Since I got married and started to build my own family, I wanted to make our own family photo albums.


I was watching the photo albums my parents made.
There were lots of photos of me and my sister getting bigger day by day and year by year.

It was one of the things that kept reminding us that we were loved although I was not conscious about it then.

That's probably why I wanted to make our own family photo albums.
So, I had been looking for our perfect albums.

I wanted our albums to be all the same because the only part I didn't like about my parents' albums was its difference in size and forms.

I used to have a bunch of unstored photos until I finally found the one for me.

And, these are now our family photo albums.

We are now at the 5th book of our family history.

It has all the photos since my husband and I got married, I got pregnant with our first baby, two precious boys were born, and so on until now.

I can place the photos either horizontally or vertically, whichever I want, wherever I want on the album pages.

There are many albums with photo pockets, but free layout page type seems to be rare.
I guess that most of the people rather perfer more casual albums because this free layout type album is big and heavy.

But, this is just perfect for me.

The 5 books of our family album are always sitting in our living room, and we look through them.
