Since this month is a month I want to focus on relationships, I thought I’d write one post to show you all about my memory-keeping, and at least I can then link to this one instead of the 5 or so on the blog π
- I take tons of photos on both my camera and iphone, and use photos from both devices for my albums. I’m still partial to my big camera (Canon) but life is much easier with my iphone 6 since the quality of the photos is so magnificent. As they say, the best camera is the one you have with you. And I add, keep your big camera out so you’re more likely to use it.
- I do a 52-week photo project of the kids. This is my third year.
- I then choose 4 pics per child per month, and 4 pics of them together. Because I take so many photos, I purposefully choose images for that are not from our 52 project pics. One day soon, I’ll just print the 52 photos for our album but that day has not arrived yet. These limitations have given me a lot of freedom.
- Then I do project life. Here’s how I used to do it and here’s how I now do it.
- The key to successful memory-keeping is being realistic about time and money.
- And here’s where I talk more about money because all of this stuff costs money so the key is to think about what will work for you.
How do you preserve your family’s memories?
What have you found is the most realistic method for you, both in terms of time and money?
