Once a year, I make time to put together a photo book of my family, friends and special occasions. Selecting from the photos on my phone and digital camera, creating a photo album is the perfect way to relax and recall memorable moments of the year. But despite the good intentions of making a photo book, for many, it seems to be the one project that gets put on the back burner. Part of the challenge is the abundance of options out there. Although it’s tough to narrow it down, I’ve put together my picks of the best online photo album companies to use.
