By far, my favorite thing about digital photography is how easy it is to share and enjoy your photos! Gone are the days when a framed print was your only option. From professionally printed art that will last a lifetime to personalized gifts that can be delivered straight to your door, here are ten easy things to do with your family photos so that they don’t languish on a hard drive and get forgotten.
- Decorate the walls of your home with custom art by creating a wall gallery featuring your favorite images and add to it each year. Think traditional and timeless canvas wraps and framed prints, or contemporary metal prints.
- Design an heirloom album to celebrate once in a lifetime moments like your wedding day!
- Take a stroll down memory lane with an annual photo book that you can flip through featuring your everyday moments.
- Delight friends and family with a custom card and heartfelt greeting for the Holidays!
- Announce a new birth with close ups of tiny fingers and toes!
- Share your graduate’s success and future plans with loved ones near and far!
- Turn favorite photos into personalized gifts or home décor using a service like Shutterfly.
- Download and share photos to a digital picture frame. Newer models connect via Wi-Fi so sharing couldn’t be easier!
- Post your cherished memories for friends and family to enjoy on social media. It’s so easy to do and always fun to see!
- Update the background on your cell phone. What better way to keep your loved ones nearby!
Technology is never completely reliable, save your digital photos to multiple locations
Be sure to take the time to backup your digital photos as soon as possible. Technology is never completely reliable so save them to multiple locations if you can! I save mine to three places; my hard drive, a backup hard drive, and to the cloud. Should disaster strike, your back up will have a back up. For tips on how to organize your photos, click here. You went to a lot of effort to capture your priceless memories. Save them. Print them. Share them. Enjoy them! xo, Theresa
