It’s that time of the year where many of us take our annual holiday family photos and sort through all the memorable moments from the past year. I usually make a couple photo books a year highlighting annual events (like birthdays) and family trips taken together. Nowadays, there are wonderful options for making quick and simple books that upload your favorite photos straight from your social media accounts or from your favorite storage sites. If you’re looking for something that’s timeless, we’re featuring our favorite sites for creating gorgeous, coffee table style books. But if you just want a hassle-free option, there’s plenty to choose from with apps that make the process as simple as the push of a button.
