Have you already taken hundreds of pictures of your kids’ football, volleyball, soccer, band, dance, or other fall activities? Chances are, your photo stream is bursting with pictures and if you don’t do something soon, in just a few months these memories could be buried among thousands of other moments.

The solution? Create an album to organize this season’s photos. It only takes a few clicks to gather all the pictures in one place, making it easy to find and share your favorites quickly.

Are the thumbnail pictures on your phone so small you feel like you need a magnifying glass?

Put your fingers on the screen & pinch in/out

Say goodbye to squinting—at least when it comes to your favorite photo memories!

If you have an iPhone 15 Pro/Max or newer, there is an incredible new tool that allows you to remove a person or object from the background of a photo. Check out this picture of my friends and I getting facials on Valentine's Day. Do you see the lady photo bombing us in the picture on the left? Ok, to be fair she had no idea I was taking the photo. But I can easily remove her by following just a few simple steps… it’s like magic! 

My heart goes out to the communities in Missouri and Kentucky devastated by yesterday’s tornadoes. 💔

Sadly, severe weather events like these are becoming more common across the country. While we can’t always prevent disasters, we can take simple steps now to be better prepared.

One powerful, yet often overlooked step is creating a HOME INVENTORY. Having photos, videos, and a record of your belongings can provide valuable information if you ever need to document your possessions after a loss.

Do you have boxes of old greeting cards, kids' artwork, ticket stubs or other keepsakes you just can’t part with? These little items hold big memories—but they also create clutter! 

Here’s a simple solution: Take a photo and store it digitally.✨
 
Take a picture or use the notes app in your phone to scan your items

Create a digital album in Google or Apple Photos or organize your pics

Keep your memories safe, organized and easy to access

Then, clear the clutter & share these gems digitally with your tech-savvy kids & grandkids! Trust me, they don't want boxes of your old stuff or even theirs... and neither will their spouses!

Avoid overpriced greeting cards and create a custom photo card instead!

Add your favorite photos and cherished memories to create a heartfelt gift that costs less than $2 with an online coupon. With same-day pickup available at Walgreens, CVS, or Walmart, photo cards are easy to make from your computer or phone in minutes. She’ll proudly display it on the fridge or mantel for weeks to come.

Photo cards are affordable, meaningful, and unforgettable.

A mom who lost her son far too early came to me with a box of old photos and a heavy heart. She wanted to make sure his children, her grandchildren, would know his story.

Together, we sorted, scanned and organized pictures from his childhood and turned old prints into digital albums his kids can now access right from their phones anytime they want to feel connected. 

Have you ever needed to quickly send an important document to your doctor, lawyer, realtor, employer or child's school? 

In just a few clicks, you can scan a single page, group of pages, insurance card, driver's license or any other important document and send as a PDF right from your phone! 

Whether your phone is overflowing with hundreds of screenshots or you’ve never quite figured out how to take them, here is everything you need to know about this handy feature in your photo app!

Over the years, I've noticed the same photo organization questions come up again and again. Here are three of the most common: If I add a photo to an album, can I delete it from my photo stream? If I have the same photo in multiple albums, does it use more storage? If I delete an album, will it also delete the photos inside? If you've wondered these too, you're not alone!

We have been taking digital pictures since smartphones became popular in the late 2000s. By default, most of us are running out of the free storage we were allotted over twenty years ago.

You might not even know you're running out of storage until you go to take a picture and get an alert that says your phone is full. This can be incredibly frustrating, especially if you're trying to capture a special moment. 

You might think you can free up storage by cleaning up your photo stream but this can be incredibly time-consuming and within a few days or weeks, you will probably end up right back where you started... with an alert that says your "storage is full." 

So if you plan on taking more and more pictures in the future, you may as well add extra storage now for just a few dollars a month. This will save you time and stress in the long run!
