How MemoryTales Turns Your Photos Into Stories
20 March 2026 · MemoryTales
Your photos and notes guide the story and illustrations in a MemoryTales book. Here is how the process works.
Step 1: Upload Your Photos
Choose the photos for the cover and story pages. Holiday snaps, family celebrations and ordinary days at home can all give the story a starting point. Clear, well-lit photos are easiest to work with.
Step 2: Tell Us About Your Family
Share the child's name and age, choose an occasion, then add the people and details you would like us to know. A nickname, favourite place or family routine can help the story feel familiar.
Step 3: Your Story, Written For You
We use the occasion, age range and details you share to shape the story. The aim is to carry familiar people and moments into a clear, read-aloud narrative.
Step 4: Photo-to-Illustration
Your photos guide the characters and scenes in the illustrations. Results can vary from the original photo, so please check the finished book details before it goes to print.
Step 5: Print & Deliver
After checkout, your story and illustrated pages are prepared for print. Choose Essential for a shorter booklet, Classic for a flexible softcover, or Keepsake for a casebound hardcover. UK delivery is tracked.
The Result
The result is an illustrated storybook shaped by the photos and details you share. Read an example book before you start your own.
