One of the things that you’re going to find when you sit back and watch Thanksgiving football games and eat more food than - let’s face it - you normally have in about three days is that the day really is all about spending time with family. For photographers, Thanksgiving creates a unique opportunity to show those things that they are thankful for and to create printed photo books that celebrate the lives that they have with their families.

Printed photo books can be used to:

• Save for posterity the way a loved one always seems to fall asleep in the recliner, plate on belly, while watching the game
• Show the kids playing under the table or making a fort - or simply just to let everyone remember what the kids’ table looked like from one year to the next
• Create family keepsakes that will be treasured for years to come
• Document what everyone at the holiday table said that they were thankful for
