Company History

We came out with prototype photo album software in 2004, and almost immediately we got feedback — ‘How can we order the albums?’ — there was no industry for that yet.”
-Howard Field, Co-Founder

Picaboo, named from a fishing trip to Picabo, ID and a play on the word “Peek-A-Boo”, was founded in 2002 by Howard Field and Kevin McCurdy, two college friends who believed memories are a fundamentally important part of the human experience and deserve to be preserved, shared, and enjoyed in meaningful ways.
