Photo Books and Albums
One of the most asked questions we get is,
“What is the difference between a photo album and a photo book?”
I remember when…
photo albums came in the form of binders or books. They contained printed photos that were either placed in plastic sleeves, affixed to a sticky cardboard surface that was then covered in thin plastic, or held in place with photo corners on heavy, black paper.
Over time, the combination of outgassing from glues and plastics increased the probability that the photos would turn yellow and brittle or suffer damage when removed from albums.
Softbound Photo Albums:
Archival techniques and materials have come a long way in the past several years. Photo albums are no longer just a vehicle to store your photo memories, but beautifully designed keepsakes that will preserve and showcase your photo memories for years to come. The staff at Gold Star Photo Solutions has been creating unique photo albums for more than 25 years. We can help you design high-quality, unique, customized Softbound Photo Albums that celebrate in pictures those special moments in life including:
- events
- vacations
- holidays
- celebrations
- or any memorable occasion captured in pictures
Photo Books:
Personalized Photo Books are meant to last for generations. These hard bound books are designed to highlight digitized images of printed photos by either embedding them into specialty photographic papers created with high-quality finishes or by press printing on archival paper.
From full wrap covers to seamless panoramic spreads, Gold Star Photo Solutions can help you create professional flush mount books with a wide variety of options and price points that allow us to take your digitized photos and design a customized photo book that is perfect for your needs and budget.
Milestone Moments
What exactly are milestone books and how are they different from a scrapbook or photo album?
Photo Albums contain photographic prints.
Scrapbooks, both digital and printed, can feature photos plus clippings, poetry, letters, patterned papers, stickers, postcards, fabric, stencils, stamps, items from nature, artwork, and other memorabilia and embellishments.
Milestone Moment books are different in that they combine the elements of both photo albums and scrapbooks – digitized photos and memorabilia – with personal stories about events, achievements, relationships, or any special moment or occasion in a person’s life.
At Gold Star Photo Solutions, we work with each client to design a truly unique and customized book. Whether celebrating the birth of a new baby, a golden anniversary, a special graduation, a wedding, or a life well-lived – personalized Milestone Books make the perfect gifts and keepsakes.

Narrate your own stories through pictures, words, and memorabilia. Our professional photo managers and writers at Gold Star Photo Solutions will help you craft your own memoir.
