What to do with all your photos?

If you are anything like me – and I acknowledge, not everyone is as photo MAD as me – you have a ton of photos on your phone and computer and you have no idea what to do with them.

Apart from all my candid snaps, I also insist on an annual family photoshoot – this not only ensures I’m in the photos, but also makes sure we have gorgeous group shots every year. Here are some of our annual snaps from professional photographers:

So what to do with this wealth of memories? Here are my recommendations, as a photo-addict:

  • PRINT THEM OUT: We have a gallery wall and spaces in the kid’s rooms for their photos. I update these regularly, but the kids LOVE to see photos of themselves as babies and will show it to visitors.
  • ANNUAL PHOTOBOOKS: Every year I print out a family photobook (using Q Photo or similar service) with all the highlights from the year, organised chronologically. This is also lovely to go through with the family.
  • KID’S CHRISTMAS GIFTS: I print out a small 20-page photobook for the kids for Christmas, showcasing their year for them. These are a firm favourite tradition.
  • MEMORY BOOKS: I love crafting and writing, and use these phenomenally high quality memory books from Stellarize Your Life. I have both the school versions and the personal baby books – and 5 stars, really! For these I use Boft to print my images as they are a good size and very high quality.
