A Looma photo book is a 36-page illustrated story built from the child's photos: instead of printing the pictures, we draw the child and up to 4 more characters from them, the same child on every page, and write a story around them. The eBook costs €3.99 and the premium hardcover €24.99 on top, delivered in 10 to 14 working days in Europe, in 6 languages, with up to 12 illustration regenerations and every sentence editable before you approve.
A photo album shows your child. This photo book makes them the hero. The curls, the gap in the teeth, the dinosaur T-shirt they refuse to take off: it comes from your photos and lands in the drawings, next to the people who matter to them.
Upload a few clear photos, add up to five characters so siblings and parents are in it too, and read the whole book before you finalize it. Give the eBook right away, and order the hardcover for the shelf. The warmth of a photo album with the pull of a real story.
A classic photo book prints your pictures on a grid; this one turns them into a story with the child as the hero, which is why children ask to read it rather than flip through it. And unlike a name-only personalized book with a generic avatar, the characters here are drawn from the photos you upload, so they really are your children.

From photo to drawing, with no photo cut-outs
Mia and her teddy bear Mr. Buttons are real: here are two of the photos her parents uploaded, and the cover of the book that came out of them. The curls, the pink backpack, the button on the bear's chest: everything is redrawn in the chosen art style, and it is still Mia on all 36 pages, not only on the cover. A teddy bear, a dog or a little brother can join the story the same way.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a normal photo book?
A normal photo book prints your photos on pages. Here the photos are the starting point: we draw your child and their people from them, in the art style you pick, and write a real story around them. Your child reads it rather than flips through it.
What photos do I need?
A few clear photos of each character, with the face visible and in normal light. Everyday phone photos work. We draw each character from them, so the child in the book really is your child.
How many people can be in the book?
Up to 5 characters: siblings, parents, grandparents, a friend, even a teddy bear or the family dog.
Are the illustrations made with AI?
Yes. The drawings are made with AI assistance from your photos, in the art style you choose, and reviewed by you. You can regenerate up to 12 illustrations and edit every line of text before anything is printed.
Can I edit the story?
Yes. Read the whole book first, change any sentence, redraw a scene, and only then approve it for print.
From what age can my child be the hero?
From a few months old up to about 10. We adapt the tone, the length and the reading level to their age, so a toddler gets short, gentle sentences and a seven-year-old gets a real adventure with a few twists.
How much does a personalized photo book cost?
€3.99 for the eBook, with edits and up to 12 illustration regenerations included. The premium hardcover is €24.99 on top, plus shipping calculated at checkout. No subscription.
How long does delivery take?
The eBook is ready as soon as you approve the story. The hardcover is printed after approval and delivered in 10 to 14 working days anywhere in Europe (5 to 7 days of printing, then 5 to 7 in transit depending on the delivery method).
