**What is included?**
•All of your pages will be created for you, using your photos
•I will also include a cover design if you'd like one
•You will receive a jpg file for each page and a pdf file that has all the pages combined

**How many photos are needed?**
At a very minimum, you'll need 20 photos for a 20-page book, 30 for a 30-page book, and so forth. However, keep in mind that this will only provide you with one picture per page. If that's the design style you're wanting, that works just fine, but if you want multi-photo pages or your photos are small files, we'll need more.

Consider how many photos per page on average you hope to see and multiply that by the number of pages you want. This will give you an average, but you may have groupings that change from page to page. On average, I personally calculate about 5 pictures per page and suggest up to about 100 photos for a 20-page book.

**How will photos be grouped in the book?**
When you share your photos with me, I'll look at the date info on your photos to try and group them in chronological order. If you have specific groupings you want, please share that in the details in your order. You can also group the photos you share with me, in folders based on how you want them grouped. If I have questions about photos where the date info is missing, I'll check with you.

**What size do the photos need to be?**
I will need the largest file of your photo that you have, taking into consideration the size of your book. If you are ordering a 7x7 book, I don't need a 20x24 photo; an 8x10 would be sufficient, or smaller if you don't want the photo to cover the entire page.

If you've saved a photo from a text message or other social media app, your photo size may be small and won't print out well at a larger size. You can determine how big your photo may print best by looking at the pixel dimensions of the photo and dividing both width and height by 240. For example, if your photo is 1920x1280 pixels, your largest size that will print well is 8x5 inches. If you're having a 10x10 or larger book made, you won't be able to have that photo fill a whole page. In an 8x8 book, the photo could fill the height or width of the page, but not both.

**How do I determine which photos to send?**
If you want to select all of your photos first and have me use all pictures in your book, feel free to do that. If you don't have time to edit down to the best ones, you can send me all the photos that fit with your book theme, and let me know if you want most of the photos used or only the very best. I'll select your best photos to create your book. If you have specific ones you want to be sure make that cut, let me know that.

**How long will it take to create my book?**
Once I have your information and photos, for books that are 50 pages or less, I will have your initial design preview to you within 2 weeks, maybe less. 50-100 pages may take 3 or 4 weeks. If I have too many projects in the works at the time of your order, I will let you know if it may take longer. You're also welcome to message me in advance to see how my timeline is looking. Once I have the initial design completed, I will send you a pdf to review for changes, errors, etc. Please keep in mind your response time, and the number of changes you submit may impact the final delivery time.

Please complete this Google Form (https://forms.gle/6VX3T6FtdTnChpWy5) so I can gather all the details I need to make your book. You can complete the Google Form first or the Etsy purchase, but please make sure selections here and in the form, match. The Google Form does also ask questions about printed books, so if that's something you're interested in, you'll need to see my Printed Custom Photo Books instead to place your actual order. I will be in touch with you once I've received both the purchase from here and the Google Form.
