For a 20-page photo book, that usually means between 40\u201380 photos. If you prefer a more minimal, clean look, stick to fewer images per page. If you want to capture every memory from a big event like a wedding or vacation, you can go up to 100+ photos using collage-style pages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/photo-books\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-74413\" src=\"https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21_WIB_SOB_116_v01-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"family in a year in review photo book\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21_WIB_SOB_116_v01-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21_WIB_SOB_116_v01-1-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21_WIB_SOB_116_v01-1-1024x717.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21_WIB_SOB_116_v01-1-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21_WIB_SOB_116_v01-1-1536x1075.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21_WIB_SOB_116_v01-1-2048x1434.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/21_WIB_SOB_116_v01-1-85x60.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Consider the Purpose of Your Photo Book<\/h2>\n<p>The number of photos you include depends on what kind of story you\u2019re telling.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For a milestone event<\/strong> like a wedding or graduation, include a mix of key moments and small details\u2014about 3\u20134 photos per page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For a baby or family yearbook<\/strong>, you might add more photos to capture everyday memories.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For a portfolio or travel book<\/strong>, fewer images per page can help each shot stand out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Think about your book\u2019s purpose before you start selecting photos so your layout feels balanced and intentional.<\/p>\n<h2>Choose the Right Photo Book Size<\/h2>\n<p>Shutterfly\u2019s photo books come in a variety of sizes\u2014from small 8&#215;8 books to large 12&#215;12 albums\u2014each with 20 to 111 pages.

With Shutterfly\u2019s pre-designed photo book templates, you can combine several photos into creative collage layouts. Try mixing full-page images with collage spreads to keep the flow dynamic. This makes it easy to include a variety of moments\u2014like group shots, close-ups, and candid photos\u2014without overwhelming each page.<\/p>\n<h2>Curate, Don\u2019t Cram<\/h2>\n<p>It can be tempting to include every picture from your camera roll, but less is often more. Choose only your best photos to tell the story clearly. Look for sharp images with good lighting, and avoid near-duplicates. A thoughtfully curated selection makes your photo book feel cohesive and meaningful from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/photo-books\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-74556\" src=\"https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/25_01_SFLY_PickUp_S04-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"one closed and one open travel photo book\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/25_01_SFLY_PickUp_S04-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/25_01_SFLY_PickUp_S04-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/25_01_SFLY_PickUp_S04-1024x867.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/25_01_SFLY_PickUp_S04-768x650.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/25_01_SFLY_PickUp_S04-1536x1300.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/25_01_SFLY_PickUp_S04-2048x1734.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/25_01_SFLY_PickUp_S04-85x72.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Related Resources on How Many Photos Should Be in a Photo Book<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no single \u201cright\u201d number of photos for a photo book\u2014it\u2019s all about your vision and the story you want to tell.
