A brief look at how I organise my photos

I had this post in drafts so long that I had to choose new photos to demonstrate since they were 5 months old! 😮

Since I’m always interested in seeing how other people organise their photos, I thought maybe one or two of you would be interested in seeing how I organise mine.

This is some of the detail around it all. I’m fully aware that this is way too detailed for most people but I like it just fine for me 🙂

I have a yearly folder and then a monthly folder.

inside the monthly folder I have broad categories of events. An event means an actual event like a birthday party or just a category like “project life”.

This is my monthly folder for August this year.

Everything goes into the big folder and then I have a folder called sorted within that one. Once I’ve been through each folder (event, etc), I drag the completed folder into the sorted one.

At the moment the folders you see still have work to be done (and those other 3 are photos my friend sent me from her camera which I happen to love :))

By the way, the names of the folders are the way my brain remembers things. I always remember dates so that’s how I file… and then I have an everyday moments folder (previously called random but I decided to reframe and call it what it is – everyday moments I choose to capture) and any folders for this blog are titled with what the post will be about, like study.

Let’s peek inside that sorted folder, shall we?

The two everyday moments folders will merge once I’ve sorted through the other one…as is the case with school stuff which I do every month and combine when I do my monthly recon.

And then let’s have a look in one of those folders, one for this blog – the binder ring cards. There were probably about 40 photos taken overall. These 13 made the cut. You saw most of them in this blog post.

How often do I organise?
