Na-nu-ja Photobooks & Albums

Na-nu-ja Photobooks & Albums na-nu-ja pioneered photobooks in South Africa! DIY or we design for you. Start your story today...

na-nu-ja meaning "Let's Share" in Korean, is based on Natasha and KwangJeon Lee's desire to encourage a dialogue between their different cultures. We have taken the first step in this dialogue by offering customers the opportunity to "share memories", in a truly artistic way with a locally handcrafted na-nu-ja album or photobook. In business since 2005, we have experience that cannot be easily matched in South Africa.

A last-minute price drop in flight costs resulted in me being able to head to Boston, Massachusetts, to attend The Photo Managers Conference 2026. I can't wait to meet up with my tribe and learn! But first I need to get there...... Two days of travel, four airports (Durban → Johannesburg → Namibia → Frankfurt → Boston), very little sleep, and absolutely zero regrets.

This could be your first tiny step.... Finally finish that photobook 📖✨
I know how many half-started photobooks live on our laptops and phones.
This January and February, I'm hosting a small online Photo Time Together – Create a Photobook in One Month programme to help you finally finish one — gently, without overwhelm.

What we'll do:
Over 3 relaxed Google Meet working sessions (starting 27th January), we'll take one photobook of your choice from scattered photos to print-ready.
📸 Your 2025 yearbook
✈️ A travel book
🎉 A special memory
👶 Baby's first year
💍 ANY photobook you want to finish

The 3 sessions:
1. Choose your photos
2. Design your pages (in Canva)
3. Finalize & get ready to print + Show & Tell

You'll get:
✓ 3 live working sessions with me guiding you
✓ Canva photobook templates
✓ 3 short pep-talk videos between sessions
✓ Private WhatsApp group for support
✓ 15% off na-nu-ja printing (if you order within a week of finishing)

Investment: R899
Starts: 27th January

This is for you if you want to stop meaning to make a photobook and actually have one in your hands in February.

Ready to join?

Comment "I'M IN" or send me a DM and tell me which book you'll be working on.
Keeping this group small for personal attention 💛
Let's turn those photos into something you can hold.

Welcome to 2026 — Tiny Steps, Meaningful Memories

As we step into 2026, I'm not feeling pulled toward big resolutions or dramatic reinventions. Instead, I'm feeling drawn to something much smaller — and far more sustainable.

My word for 2026 is tiny. Inspired by Tiny Experiments and Atomic Habits, I'm embracing the idea that the smallest steps — taken consistently — are the ones that quietly change everything. Tiny actions. Tiny progress. Tiny wins that add up over time.

And honestly? This feels like a perfect fit for memory-keeping.

Most of us don't avoid our photos because we don't care. We avoid them because the task feels too big. Too many images. Too many folders. Too much pressure to do it “properly.”

But what if 2026 isn't about doing everything…
What if it's about doing one tiny thing at a time?
One folder.
One year.
One photobook.
One story.

This year at na-nu-ja, I'll be encouraging gentle progress — not perfection. I'll be sharing ideas, tools, and inspiration to help you take those small steps: designing photobooks, organising photos, digitising old memories, and turning moments into something tangible and meaningful.

You don't need to catch up.
You don't need to be creative.
You don't need hours of free time.
You just need one tiny step.

And I'll be right here, helping you turn tiny actions into memories you can hold, share, and treasure.

Here's to 2026 — a year of tiny steps and lasting stories.
