A Mother's Day viewfinder of the photos she's in
Mom took most of the family photos, so she's in very few of them. Find seven where she is, and we'll print them on a reel of real film she can hold up to the light.
From $36.95 with the viewer
She's usually the one behind the camera
Go looking for photos of her and you'll find fewer than you expect. That's what this reel is for: seven frames where she's in the picture, in the order you choose.
No screen, no app. She clicks through by hand.
Seven frames

Choosing the seven
- 1
Ask around
Your siblings and Dad have photos of her that you don't. Ask each of them for one.
- 2
Get close
Each frame is about the size of a fingernail, so faces and close-ups read best. Wide landscapes and big group shots lose detail.

Pick the candid ones
The posed photo is already on the fridge. Choose the ones where she's laughing.
What to write
In the middle of the reel. Love you Mommy, the kids' names, or the year, up to 60 characters.

Questions
Will it arrive in time?
Most US orders arrive in 6–12 business days: 3–5 to make, then 3–7 to ship. Canadian orders take a few days longer. Need it by a specific date? Email us before you order — we reply within 1 business day.
Can I add a card?
Yes. Add a greeting card in the customizer and have us write it by hand: pick our Mother's Day message, or write your own, up to 300 characters. We tuck it in with the reel.
Do they need the viewer?
If they already have a classic reel viewer, choose Reels only in the customizer. Our reels fit the classic viewers.
