There’s something special about being part of a group that shares your passion. Whether it’s birdwatching at sunrise, logging miles with a running crew, or volunteering with a local nonprofit, these shared experiences create meaningful connections — and countless memories worth preserving.
With Mimeo Photos’ Shared Projects feature, one group member can take the lead in designing a beautifully crafted photo book or calendar that captures the spirit of your time together — and then easily share the finished project with others to view and order their own copies.
What Is Shared Projects — and Why Does It Matter for Clubs?
Shared Projects allows you to create a photo book or calendar with Mimeo Photos and share a link so others can see a preview and purchase it for themselves. It’s perfect for:
- Running clubs documenting a year of races, routes, and milestones
- Birdwatching groups capturing sightings and nature photography
- Book clubs compiling favorite reads and member reflections
- Nonprofit or volunteer teams showcasing impact and stories
- Hobby groups of all kinds — cycling, crafting, travel, gardening, photography
Everyone can contribute by submitting photos and stories to the project creator — and when the book or calendar is complete, each member can order their own copy.
Create Something Worth Sharing (and Saving)
Whether you're crafting a photo book to mark a season of growth or designing a calendar filled with meaningful images, Shared Projects gives your group the opportunity to:
- Tell your story as a group: One person curates photos and stories from members to build a cohesive, heartfelt narrative.
- Celebrate everyone’s contributions: Highlight group milestones, special events, or inside jokes that only your community would understand.
- Design with heart: Choose from elegant layouts, premium finishes, and curated themes that reflect your group’s personality and style.
- Order with ease: Once the project is finished, simply share a link — so everyone can purchase their own copy, whether it’s one or one hundred.
From Creation to Connection
Designing a Shared Project is more than a creative task — it’s a meaningful way to reflect on the journey you’ve taken together. As you gather photos and stories from members, you’ll rediscover moments you might have forgotten, and build a lasting tribute to the community you’ve grown.
It’s a chance to pause, look back, and hold onto what matters — in a format that’s tangible, timeless, and made to be shared.
Inspiration for Your Group’s Next Project
Need some ideas to get started? Here are a few ways clubs and groups are using Shared Projects to celebrate what makes them special:
- End-of-Year Highlights: A photo book that wraps up the best of the year — races run, books read, birds spotted, goals reached.
- Event Recaps: Commemorate a retreat, race weekend, or annual gathering with a dedicated keepsake.
- Member Spotlights: Dedicate a page or month to each member — with bios, fun facts, or favorite quotes.
- Annual Planning Calendars: Include upcoming meetups, races, reading schedules, or seasonal outings — and make it beautiful enough to display.
