How it works

Pick. Approve. Give.

From the photos on your phone to an album in her hands, in three steps.
  1. A mother on the sofa scrolling through photos on her phone, her toddler leaning on her shoulder

    Step 1

    Pick the photos

    Choose a plan and pay, then pick the everyday moments straight from your phone. Share a private link so the rest of the family can add theirs too.

  2. The album editor on a phone, showing a page of four photos with Edit and Add caption buttons

    Step 2

    Approve the album

    We arrange the pages while your photos upload. Edit the cover and pages, then approve the album together with her address. Until you approve your first album, and for up to 3 months after payment, you can ask for a full refund.

  3. Hands lifting a hardcover album titled “Rose’s Family Memories” out of its shipping box

    Step 3

    Send it to Grandma

    We print the album and ship it to her door.

On a plan, a new album follows every month or every 3 months.

What Grandma receives

An album she can leave open on the table.

Not another photo lost in her phone. A real album she can hold, full of the big days and the ordinary Tuesdays she would otherwise miss.

    “My mom absolutely loved it.”

    I made one for my mom with pictures of the grandkids and she called me as soon as it arrived. She kept saying how much she loved having actual photos she could hold instead of looking at them on her phone. Such a sweet gift.

    “Grandma keeps it on her coffee table.”

    We live a few states away from my mother-in-law, so she misses a lot of the little everyday moments with the kids. We sent her an album and apparently it hasn’t left her coffee table since it arrived. She shows it to everyone who comes over.

    “So much easier than making a photo book myself.”

    I’ve wanted to make something like this for my parents for years but never had the time to design a whole photo book. I just uploaded the pictures, moved a few around and was done. Really easy.

    “The process was straightforward and the album turned out beautifully. I’d make another one.”

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    “The everyday pictures were their favorites.”

    I almost only included birthdays and holidays, but I added a bunch of random pictures of the kids eating breakfast, playing outside and just being themselves. Those ended up being the photos my parents talked about the most.

    Theresa N.Verified customer

    “Really meaningful gift. I had to double-check a couple of photos while arranging the album, but it turned out well.”

    “Finally doing something with all the photos on my phone.”

    I have thousands of pictures of my kids just sitting in my camera roll. I loved being able to turn some of them into something my parents can actually hold onto and enjoy.

Our story

It started with my grandparents.

The founder’s family gathered on the sofa, looking through a printed photo album together

Every time I made a photo album for my grandparents, they were overjoyed to open it. When I visited, we sat together and went through it again and again.

Today they have a whole collection. They still call me to say how happy they are to have all our family’s moments to look back on, and how much more connected they feel to all of us.

I built Grandparent Album to bring that feeling to as many families as possible.
