Organize Hundreds of Pics in Just a Few Clicks!

create digital album organization May 30, 2023

Our oldest son graduated from high school this weekend and there was no shortage of pictures! I have over 200 on my phone between his last day of school, senior banquet, graduation and all of the parties that followed! 

I'm not sure if you have a graduate this year but I'm sure you have had other reasons to take hundreds of pictures in a short period of time whether for a vacation, wedding, milestone birthday or other celebration!  

Before all those great memories get lost in your photo stream, take a minute to organize your pictures in one place! All it takes is a few clicks to create an album which will make finding and sharing your pictures so much easier down the road!

Hopefully, you have a home inventory but if not I'd love to help motivate you to get this done so your family is as prepared as possible just in case you ever experience loss or damage to your home! 

For more information, check out my recent podcast on Apple or Spotify or our online Step-by-Step Home Inventory class which will guide you through the process!
