At MILK Tailormade Books we love to celebrate creativity. We have been printing the inspiration of photographers, artists and creative thinkers since 2012 and now invite the young people of America to share what creativity means to them.

We believe everyone is creative, no matter what you are studying or working towards.

MILK is one of the world’s premium photo book and photo album brands. We beautifully preserve the inspiration and memorable moments of customers from over 100 countries in books designed to last more than a lifetime.
The name MILK stands for ‘Moments of Inspiration, Love and Kinship’ and started almost 20 years ago with a global photographic competition that gathered over 40,000 professional and amateur photographs which celebrated the very best of humankind. From these, 300 images were selected to be the heart of an exhibition, and used to create the three MILK titles ‘Family’, ‘Friendship’ and ‘Love’. The books were a global success, selling 4 million copies and 74 million greeting cards. From this success, the MILK Photo Books business offering beautiful personalised books and albums was born.
