CelebrateReel for babies

Every photo of the first year. In one reel.

Grandparents took thousands. Aunts took thousands. You took tens of thousands. Nobody has all of them. CelebrateReel collects from everyone — phone galleries, shared albums, the cousin who can't make it tonight — and renders a music-timed reel for the first birthday or shower.

First birthday

The First Year

365 days · One reel
“Even grandma cried, and she's seen every one of these photos already.”
How it works

Three steps. Nobody chasing photos.

CelebrateReel handles collection, music sync, and rendering. You handle pressing play.

01

Send the link to family

Group text, family email list, the WhatsApp the grandparents are on. Anyone with the link uploads from their phone — no app, no login. Photos roll in from everyone who's been taking them.

02

Pick a song that fits

A lullaby, a parent's wedding song, a track that played on the drive home from the hospital. Pick from our catalog or upload an audio file you own. We render against it without re-licensing.

03

Play it at the party

Plays from any TV or projector with a browser. The first birthday, the shower, the christening — the room watches the year go by on the beat. Nobody scrolls Instagram during the reel.

Where it shines

Built for babies, end to end.

First birthdays

Twelve months of phone-camera-roll photos in one reel. Plays before cake. Grandparents see their own contributions land in context for the first time.

Baby showers

A reel of the parents' own baby photos and growing-up moments — a soft callback for the room. Family contributes ahead of time; the reel is ready when guests arrive.

Christenings & dedications

A gentler pace, set to a hymn or a meaningful track. Plays at the reception after the service. Lives at a permanent URL the family can keep.

Frequently asked

Real questions, honest answers.

How do I get photos from grandparents who don't text?
Text the upload link to whoever in the family is closest to them. The link works on any phone or computer — they can also email photos to a relative who uploads on their behalf. We've intentionally designed this so older relatives don't have to install anything.
Can we use a song that's not in your catalog?
Yes. Upload any audio file you own and we render against it without re-licensing. A lullaby recording, a parent's wedding song, a custom track — anything. Our catalog also covers common nursery tunes and gentle instrumentals.
What about photos that aren't appropriate for sharing?
Content moderation flags problematic uploads automatically; you can also review every photo before render if you want a clean approval queue. Photos can be excluded by tag without re-collecting.
