Chatbooks was started in 2014 by Vanessa and Nate Quigley as a family business. Vanessa, a mother of seven, had no time for scrapbooks but already posted photos on Instagram, and wanted those posts turned into books automatically. Nate serves as CEO, and the company says it now employs more than 150 people, including part-time stay-at-home parents who answer customer support, print shop crews and software developers. The founders describe their goal as helping families feel closer.
Besides its books, Chatbooks sells photo prints and a Baby's First Year subscription, with themed options for weddings, travel, yearbooks and holidays. Its One Heart Program restores photos and replaces books at no cost for families affected by natural disasters or personal crises.

Sign up for the email and text list firSt. The 15% off is tied to a first order, so it stretches further on a bigger project, such as a Luxury Layflat starting at $115, than on a small book.
A gift card and Photo Book Credits are separate balances, so keep track of which one you're spending.
If you plan to start Monthbooks or Monthly Minis, check whether the sign-up offer covers a subscription order before you rely on it.
