Is a baby photo album with photo pockets the best way to present baby photos?





To help you make a decision about whether a baby photo album with slip-in photo pockets is the best way to present your baby's photos, here are some answers to questions you may be asking…

What do you need to do to display my baby’s photos in a baby photo album with slip-in pockets? Will it take a lot of time? Here is what you do to create a baby photo album with slide-in pockets:

Step 1: Take cute baby photos!

Step 2: Print your photos at a photo lab or at home.

Step 3: Get your photos into the correct order and slide your photos into the photo pockets. You can do this while watching TV. Too easy!

Step 4: Write a description of photos in the memo space provided or slide a piece of paper with journaling into one of the photo pockets.

What resources are required to complete a photo album with slip-in photo pockets?

You will need:

  • a photo album with slip-in pockets, and
  • a pen if you are adding notes next to your photos.
What skills are required to complete a photo album with slip-in pockets?

Just the ability to slide a photo into a photo pocket.

How many photos can be displayed on a page in a photo album with slip-in pockets?

The number of photos that can be displayed on the one page will depend on the album you buy. Some photo albums such as a brag book will have space for one photo per page. A larger photo album may be able to display up to 6 photos on one page or 12 photos if you also include the facing page.

How many photos can you display in total in a photo album with slip-in pockets?

It will depend on the size of the album you buy. Some albums allow for more photos per page and therefore you can fit more photos in the album. Photo albums with slip-in pockets are a great way to display large numbers of photos.

Is there flexibility in how photos are displayed on each page ie. can vertical photos displayed alongside horizontal photos?

Most photo albums with slip-in pockets only allow photos to be displayed horizontally not vertically. This means that you have to turn the album to the side to look at your vertical (portrait) photos. There are some photo albums on the market though that allow you to display both horizontal and vertical photos on the one page.

Are different sized photos able to be displayed in a photo album with slide-in photo pockets?

Most photo albums with slip in pockets usually allow one size of photo to be displayed throughout the photo album, generally 6x4 photos. However there are some photo albums that have slip in photo pockets that allow for example panoramic photos and 6x4 photos to be both displayed in the same photo album.

Can you group photos of one event together on the one page?

You could group photos of the one event together on the one page if you choose a photo album with a large number of photo pockets on the one page.

Can you add photos into the photo album as baby grows?

Yes, you can add photos into the album as your baby grows. If you would like to keep all the photos of your baby’s first year in the one album you might consider buying a post bound album or ring binder album that allows for refills ie. extra pages to be included.

You could then buy a matching album for each subsequent year of your child’s life.

Can you include baby memorabilia or keepsakes?

Smaller items such as hospital bracelets or a lock of your baby’s hair from their first haircut would fit into a photo pocket but larger items such as a hand print would need to be stored elsewhere.

How much creativity is required to complete a photo album with slip-in pockets?

Very little creativity is required. You will however need to give some thought into how the photos are ordered within the photo album and also how you want to describe the photos of your baby in the album if your album has a memo space.

Can young children be left alone to look through a photo album with slip-in pockets?

Yes. The photos are protected by plastic and safe from fingers and food.

Can it be duplicated?

If you are wanting to duplicate your photo album to give to a friend or relative you will need to buy multiple photo albums and print multiple copies of each photo. If something happened to the photo album you would have to reprint the photos and buy another photo album.

Can journaling be included?

Some photo albums with slip-in pockets have a memo space next to the photo which allow you to describe each photo. The memo space provided is generally small and not suitable if you would like to journal about a group of photos. If you prefer to journal about a group of photos rather than an individual photo you could buy a photo album with no memo spaces and write on a piece of paper or card and insert your journaling into a photo pocket.

Is handwriting required?

If you have an album with memo space next to each photo you will need to write information about the photo using your own handwriting.

If you don't like your hand writing, you could type information about a photo or group of photos and print onto paper the same size as a photo pocket and slide the journaling in like a photo.

How long will photos last in a photo album with slip-in photo pockets? Will my grandchildren be able to enjoy the photos?

The length of time your photos will last in a photo album with slip pockets will depend on the quality of inks and paper that your photos are printed on. Also, make sure you choose an album that is marked acid free and keep your photos stored in a place that is stable in temperature and the photos are not exposed to light.

Can a photo album with slide-in pockets be easily stored?

Yes, it can be stored on a bookshelf.

Do you have flexibility in where you enjoy your baby’s photos if they are in a photo album with slide in pockets?

Yes! A photo album is portable so you can enjoy your baby’s photos on the sofa in the living room, at Grandma’s place or in the car. If you buy a smaller brag book style of photo album with slip in pages you can carry it with you in your handbag.
