I’m really excited to announce my very special upcoming project:
In One Hundred Pages
This is a dedicated book project to motivate you to design a book in time for the Holidays.
I hear from people all the time that say they want to make a photo book but don’t know where to start or get overwhelmed by how many photos they have.
Here is the secret:
Clarity.
That’s why I named this project In One Hundred Pages. It starts to define your project – your goal. But it takes more than defining the number of pages to avoid photo book overwhelm.
So, I’m offering free training to get you started. To gain access to my training, simply sign up for my free photo book club. Or check out my In One Hundred Pages website and sign up there!
Then in November, I’ll open up a mini-workshop where I’ll map out the entire book design process in a format that is:
- easy to digest (won’t take hours to read),
- very informative (outlines exactly what you need to know), and
- extremely fun (with conversation, sharing, contests, and discounts).
I hope you’ll join me!!! I can’t wait to see your finished photo book!

Are you comfortable with the photo book design process….just looking for a little more inspiration and accountability each month?
Are you looking to break that habit of waiting until December to design your photo book?
Would you like to join a group of people working on their photo book together?
The Book This Project Annual Book Accountability Group is perfect for you!
Let me become your annual book personal trainer for the year! …or you could see me as your inspiring book design leader. 😉 Either way, works for me!
Each month, you’ll receive a monthly checklist, calendar and inspiration lesson to apply to your book. I’ll lead a monthly screen share call where we can discuss ideas, troubleshoot and share. I’ll create a private Facebook group to discuss stumbling blocks and create accountability.
Here is a sample of a recap of a monthly call:
This product is for you if you:
- have taken my Intro or Advanced Photo Book Design Workshop
- have designed several books on your own
- are familiar with the book design process
- are looking for a like-minded group to stay accountable
- need monthly inspiration to make a photo book spectacular
This product is not for you if you:
- have never made a photo book before
- have questions about how to get started with your photo book
- need advice on how to use the basic tools of the design programs
This workshop promises to be more motivational than instructional. I’ll show you how to add the right touches each month to make your annual book amazing.
The payments are $15 a month for 12 months. However, it will last for the entire 2015 calendar year. I’ll have action list items for each month, regardless of when you sign up.
Product only available until March 31, 2015.

Happy New Year!
-and-
Congrats to all of those who have finished a Project 365!
I prepared a free download for all The Photographer Within members with my favorite tips plus 16 layout ideas for designing a Project 365 Photo Book.
[divider_flat] Then I took those 16 layout ideas and transformed them into a BTP Photo Book Template. All you have to do is install the template, place your photos and order your book.
[divider_flat] Today, in this first monthly podcast of 2014, I show you how to design a Project 365 book using the LR Book Module.
I think you can tell how impressed I am with all of those who finished a Project 365!!!
If you completed a Project 365 (or starting one this year), leave a comment below and share your 365 blog!!!

I have exciting plans in store for 2014! If you want to see something on this blog, leave a comment below or better yet, fill out my very brief survey! 😉
One big change, I’m now hosting my photo book design workshops over at The Photographer Within. This is a great place to learn and talk about photography.

I’m also planning on leading my Advanced Photo Book Design Workshop (on InDesign) there as well as a brand-new and very exciting new type of workshop!!!
If you finished a Project 365, I’ve got a great template available for you (to use with Blurb BookSmart).
Here is what I’ve been busy with over the last year. If you would like to a tutorial on how I created this video, leave a comment below. I’m happy to update my tutorial from last year with revisions I made during this video!

In my last Q&A post about how to combine your vacation photos into your family photo book.
But sometimes…it’s best just to make your own vacation photo book. Stay tuned…in an upcoming post, I’ll share a couple of tips about how to photograph with your photo book in mind…and how to design a fun vacation book.
If you are overwhelmed with everything you have going on, I’d love to design your vacation book for you.
This is a smaller book than my typical family photo book. You upload fewer photos (200) and there are fewer pages (100) but I will design a gorgeous book documenting your family memories.
here are the details:
- One (1) hard linen cover custom photo book.
- 8″ x 10″ Portrait – or – 10″ x 8″ Landscape.
- 100 pages maximum.
- Upload 200 photos maximum.
- One (1) design consultation to ensure the design is just as you want it.
- One (1) hour of revisions to incorporate your comments.
Additional copies, 12”x12” hard cover, additional pages, additional photos, and numerous design review/revisions are available at an additional charge.
Sale price for the month of 2013 August. Only five custom designs are available at this time.

It’s time for another pdf download for your kids to practice writing, matching, and coloring based on favorite children’s books. (My last one was here.) In our household, we’ve been reading a lot of Eric Carle’s The Very Busy Spider. So…I decided to create a free pdf download for you to work through with your child.
This pdf includes ways for kids to practice writing, matching words, finding words, forming sentences and coloring. Plus there is an activity to make your own spider web using yarn and glue. It’s a simple diagram, but feel fee to elaborate and make it as creative as you want.

I’m so excited to share my featured product for May: a photo book template for your child based on the British nursery rhyme, The House that Jack Built.
I love this idea and I know my son will have a fabulous time reading it.
Here is the premise, take objects and details from your son’s or daughter’s life and incorporate them into building narrative. Each page leads into the next. This means family members, stuffed animals, favorite toys and favorite snacks.
In this photo book template, I provide everything you need to create the book.
The narrative, the photo ideas, recommendations for font styles and sizes and an 11 minute video showing you exactly how to use the photo book template for Blurb’s BookSmart.
Here is the last page of my story:
This is the phone that woke up
daddy not shaven or shorn,
who kissed mommy in clothing worn,
who fed Lydia all forlorn,
who loved the elephant with the big, loud horn,
that startled the bear,
who pushed the fire truck,
that carried the cheese,
that lay in the house that Alden built.
Here are all of the photos I used for my son’s book.
[divider]Here is the entire book:
[divider] Don’t you love it!!!!
By downloading this template, you can create this book for yourself. The photo book template is sized for a 7″x7″ book and with a soft cover book from Blurb, this is a $15.39 + tax + shipping.
Your download includes:
- 7″x7″ template file for Blurb’s BookSmart
- 11 minute video on how to use the template
- 3 page instruction manual
- 9 color fill jpegs

Do you have a family member or loved one who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease?
Are you looking for a way to review treasured family photos with your loved one during visits?
Would love one place to have your favorite photos documenting a beautiful life span?
Then let Book This Project transform your photographs into a custom one-of-a-kind photo book.
My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease in 2005. Throughout his disease progression, many aspects of his life may have deteriorated but our bond and relationship grew. We spent many afternoons together going over old family photos. Not only did this spark wonderful memories that we could share together but it always gave us something familiar to talk about. We were never for a loss of words or loving glances when we could look at photographs. My father passed away in August of 2012 but his life, memory and love is preserved in a beautiful heirloom.
As the founder of Book This Project, I started this company because I realized how important it is to have your favorite photos all in one place. Today, we are all so busy, it is hard to print photos or share everyday moments with loved ones. This product is the stress-free solution to accomplish an unbelievably gorgeous, professional photo book.
As creative director, I will personally design your book – each page – to maximize your photographs.
Here is a brief video to show the impact of owning a specially designed photo book.
If you are curious to see a full example, here is the book I created for my dad.
benefits
- A custom design for your entire book. A concept design is created for your personal photographs to achieve beautiful individual pages as well as a collective book that makes sense as a whole. Each design features an organizing principle that factors the content, orientation, proportion, and color of your photographs into each page layout.
- Sophisticated, modern designs. A variety of styles, colors, fonts and layouts are possible. Have a specific look in mind? Send me an image and I will let you know if I can replicate the style for your photo book.
- Design professional. As a professional, I utilize my years as a designer and my love of researching new ideas into each and every book I design.
- Tremendous customer service experience. Incorporating your family photographs into a photo book is an extremely personal process and I treat each customer with an immense amount of respect, care and love.
features
- Customized design based on your photographs.
- Book organized by events.
- Table of contents (by events).
- Creative cover design.
- $100 of your order is donated to an organization of your choice in honor of your loved one.
