You might be wondering where to begin, or want to make sure you’re utilizing your book in the best possible way. Let us tell you first and foremost, there are no rules to how you document. This book was intended to spark ideas, conversation, and inspiration; how you choose to record is wholly and completely yours to decide (isn’t that the beauty of it!?). With that in mind, we’ve compiled a few tips we’ve found helpful along the way. Ready to dive in?

 

 

TIP 01
Start Where You Are
 
 

 

You might have purchased the Baby Book in anticipation of your newest addition, or perhaps you’re starting a year or two in. Whatever stage you’re in, start where you are. This book was designed for busy parents and won’t ask you to recall the date your child’s first tooth popped up, or when they started crawling. The photo prompts are simple and open ended, so if you’re beginning this post-natal, flip through your camera roll and find photos you think could coincide with the prompts. Adapting them in whatever way works best for you, it’s the stories you tell that baby will love. 

 

 

TIP 02
Organize Frequently

 

 

Parents of today are lucky in that they have a camera with them at nearly all times — their phone! An easy way to organize photos for printing is to create a folder on your smartphone with images you’d like to print for your Baby Book. Once a week or so, sift through your camera roll and add any of your new favorite snaps to your designated folder. When you’re ready to print, simply use our print your photos service to print your photos.

 

 

TIP 03
Involve Family & Friends
 

 
Inside Hello Little Love, you’ll find 4 pages with only the simple words, “ here I am with” While these pages can be filled with baby's photos with family and friends.

 

TIP 04
Imperfect is Perfect

 

If there’s one thing you should not do with this book, it’s worry about things like penmanship, grammar, or ink smudges. Your baby will love the day you pass this book along to them, and it’s little things like your imperfect handwriting that will make it even more meaningful. So don’t stress — it’s perfect just the way it is.

 

 

TIP 05
