To me, mini albums are like short stories. They represent a special event, or a brief timeline of someone’s life.
My daughter’s husband and their three sons love adventurous trips and 4x4 vehicle events. I made this mini album to capture some of their fun, happy and exhausting moments. Note that I specifically journaled to explain the sleepy moment during an exciting and fun weekend.
