Create a Shutterfly Photo Book for Father’s Day

Finding the perfect Father’s Day gift for my dad is something I love doing every year. He doesn’t want for much, so I love finding gifts for him that are special and meaningful. I want to show my father just how much he means to me on Father’s Day. My dad is one of my best friends and one of my biggest supporters in everything I do. His love for his family is just incredible.

My father is right in the middle, second row! He’s next to my husband – who is in the red tee! He always stands in the middle, looking over everyone!

His life truly revolves around his family. My father LOVES to capture moments and celebrations and occasions through photos. My father always has his phone with him snapping away! It’s so great to see him document special family time. Knowing his love for his family and photos, I thought this year it would be wonderful to gift him with a photo book. We take hundreds of photos throughout the year and I know my dad doesn’t get to see all of the photos that we capture. A photo book is the best gift ever because this is such a special keepsake for my dad to cherish and relive all the moments that we’ve shared together.

The easiest way for me to create a photo book is over at Shutterfly.com. I think I’ve made about a dozen photo books for different family members throughout the years. It truly is just the greatest gift. It’s the kind of gift that someone isn’t expecting, so when they receive it, it goes a long way. A great option over at Shutterfly is their new Make My Book service, where their designers will make a photo book for you. They make it wonderfully easy to create such a thoughtful gift that I had to try it.

The Make My Book service on Shutterfly.com provides an easy way for you to get professional looking photo books of your photos. Make My Book is perfect for someone like me because I don’t have a ton of time (with 5 kids and working full-time) for making things. This service was just a lifesaver for me because with the help of Shutterfly, my photo book was created quickly and hassle-free!

I’m sure you’re wondering how it works, right?

It’s SUPER easy! What I love is that there are just 3 steps. You don’t have to worry about there being a list of things to do. Everything is VERY user-friendly and easy to understand. To give you an idea, I’m happy to list out the 3 steps for using Shutterfly’s Make My Book service:

  1. Choose what you want: Select a Make My Book book size and style. Upload your photos or entire albums from your desktop or Shutterfly account. They design your book and they can even curate your best photos for you. P.S. It’s free to get started! (This is the fun part! You get to upload photos that you love and would like cherished in your book!)
  2. Receive your book: In as little as 3 business days, they add your custom designed photo book to your account and email you to let you know it’s ready. (I loved getting the notification via email that it was ready!)
  3. View and order your book: Once approved by YOU, you order your book as is or personalize it with your own finishing touches. The one-time $9.99 service fee is applied only once you order your finished book. (And you get the final viewing power! You can see the book and when you are 100% happy with it, order away!)

I just got my dad’s in the mail and I absolutely LOVE it!

I cried when I opened it because I know he’s going to love it.

My father's GIFT!

There are photos from the last 12 years in the photo book, ones that I know will touch his heart. My Nana (his mother) passed away 8 years ago, so I included photos of her holding some of her great-grandkids.

I also made sure to include photos that I knew my dad never knew were even taken! I’m just going to be so excited to see him open it and enjoy each and every page. The headings on the pages are great too – they are just the perfect touch.

Here I am with my father, mom and sister on my 30th birthday and 9 months pregnant with my 4th son Henry! I was – indeed – enjoying the moment!

Here’s my father with my son Benjamin! Benjamin has a special bond with my father, so I loved this page because he’s ALWAYS making my father laugh!
