Calling all parents!

The Family Friendly Business Alliance is having a Facebook photo contest.  Have a fun picture of your kids that you want to share with the world? Submit your favorite photo and enter to win great prizes. Full details on the FFBA Facebook page.

Each spring, I review all the photos I took in 2009 (and there are hundreds!) and try to get things organized.  I thought I would share a few tips with you.

Review Your Photos

We all have them…the out of focus shots or the photos that just are not good shots of the kids or the family.  Time to get rid of them!  We are never going to print them or do anything with them, they take up space on our computers so delete them.  Its amazing when you do this with a years worth of photos, how much space it frees up on your computer!  It also makes things alot easier to move on to the next step…Organizing them all.

Organizing, Saving and Editing Photos

Probably the 3 most common questions I get from clients are:

• what is the best way to organize their photos so they can easily find them at a later date,
• how do I back up/save all the photos I take and
• what steps do I take to edit the photos.

I found a great article on the internet that answers all these questions.  It is well written and really easy to follow.  Please click here if you would like to read the article.

As an incentive to get those photos from 2009 organized, the Family Friendly Business Alliance is holding a photo contest!  We want to see your favorite photo you took of your baby/child in 2009!  We are going to have some great prizes for the winners so watch our Facebook page for more details next week!
