Our story

A paper house built around remembering.

For nearly a decade as a professional photographer, I had the privilege of capturing some of life’s most meaningful moments — weddings, growing families, newborns, anniversaries, quiet in-between seasons, and memories people never wanted to lose. But over time, I began noticing something heartbreaking. After the galleries were delivered and the excitement faded, most of those photographs were never truly seen again. A few might become prints. One or two would make it onto social media. But the vast majority quietly disappeared onto hard drives, buried in folders and untouched for years. Memories that deserved to be held became virtually invisible. That realization is what led me to scrapbooking. For the first time, those photographs felt alive again — not hidden away on a screen, but gathered into something tangible, beautiful, and deeply personal. Something you could hold in your hands, pass around the living room, leave open on a table, and someday hand down to your children and grandchildren.

My Darling Paper Co. was created from that experience. Every scrapbook paper collection we design is created to help transform meaningful photographs into lasting heirlooms — pieces of family history that are seen, shared, and cherished for generations. Because your memories deserve more than a forgotten folder. They deserve a place in your story.
