Summer photos, check
To create a photo book, the first thing you need is summer holiday photos, right? Have a scroll through your camera roll and pick your favourites. They could be super candid family selfies, the ones where everyone is pulling a silly face. Or it could be scenic shots of the beach (or mountains, or cityscape), whatever beautiful summer photos are in your camera roll, your summer photo books are ready to display them.

A theme for your summer
It’s time to pick a theme for your summer photo book. Whether you’ve been holidaying on an island, exploring a new city or having a relaxing weekend away with family, we’ve got a photo book theme for you. Your summer holidays have been filled with photo taking and memory making so you want your photo book to match.
Caption your moments
Each photo holds a special moment and sometimes those moments need a caption. It could be the date of when you went on holiday, the place name of your favourite summer moment or just giving some context to the funny snaps you’re showcasing. Also, your photo book needs a name. Something that screams “this was the best summer ever”. Here’s a list of summer photo album names to give you inspiration for your own.
Give your summer photo book that personal touch
Once you’ve chosen your cute summer photos, given your album a name, it’s time to add those personal touches. First, play around with layouts and background. Nothing says a summer holiday photo album quite like a bright yellow background covered in palm trees. Or opt for one of our pre-designed layouts to get that picture perfect vibe. Once you’re happy with your summer photo albums, it’s time to choose your paper finish. Go a glossy finish for high shine on your moments or keep it as is for a classic look.
Now you have the perfect summer photo book, not only to look back on all the good times of the season but to give inspiration to your next summer adventures. Inspired to create? Browse our photo books range and make your moments last.
