RECIPES //

Many people create photobooks of vacations or wedding photos, but they can also be used to share priceless family treasures like recipes.

Recipe photobooks can create a tangible legacy that family members can cherish. It's a way of honouring past generations and ensuring their traditions live on.

Do you have any family recipes you would like me to make into a family heirloom photobook? Adding photos of the dishes, the people who cook them, and family gatherings makes the cookbook a personal keepsake, rich with memories and stories.

A photobook of family recipes can serve as a beautiful, functional, and sentimental addition to any family’s collection of memorabilia.

Technology fails us sometimes. Did you know that external hard drives have an average life span of just 3 to 5 years? Don't risk losing your precious memories! Back up your photos and consider additional storage options to keep them safe.

Why External Hard Drives Fail:

> Mechanical Wear and Tear: Over time, the moving parts in an external hard drive can wear out.

> Physical Damage: Hard drives are susceptible to damage from drops or impacts.

> Environmental Factors: Extreme temperatures, humidity, and dust can affect a hard drive's performance.

> Data Corruption: Power surges or sudden losses of power can corrupt the data stored on a hard drive.

An alternative to external hard drives are solid state drives (SSDs) These drives have no moving parts and are generally more durable than traditional hard drives.

BLACK & WHITE BEAUTY //

There's something timeless about black and white photographs. They strip away the distractions of colour, allowing us to focus on the emotions, textures, and stories behind each shot. Whether it's the nostalgia of old family photos or the elegance of modern portraits, black and white images capture the essence of the moment in a way that is both simple and profound. Let's celebrate the beauty of monochrome memories!

If you have any old photographs, I would love to preserve them for you. Send me a DM to get started.

DELETE THESE PHOTOS //

I give you permission to delete recipes off your phone. Be honest with yourself, are you ever going to cook that chicken burger recipe you screenshot 2 years ago?

If you really want to keep them, move your recipe photos to the notes app on your phone. Then you can DELETE the photo in your library.

Something new is coming soon. Keep and eye on my socials for the reveal!

On my desk today...

3 mini travel photo albums from 1992.

The albums are falling apart so it is a good thing this client reached out. She will now have the peace of mind knowing that her travel memories will be preserved.

A family timeline is an excellent tool for helping you sort your photos.

Sit down with your family and create a timeline of events. Start with births, marriages, and deaths, and then add additional information like career changes, family moves, historical events (COVID), personal achievements, vacations, and medical diagnoses.

Just start talking about when things happened and write it down. I bet you’ll learn something new about your family.

Do you need help organising and safeguarding your family's precious photos and memories? Contact Kelly at [email protected] to find out how to get started.

I offer scanning services for a large range of items. You may have printed photos which need preserving, you may have old handwritten recipes or school reports you would like scanned, you may have negatives or slides which were from your childhood.

Leave them in their albums or take them out, either way is fine. Protect them in a snap lock bag or plastic bag in case of rain during transit.

Sit back and relax and let me do all the fiddly work. This is my passion and I do actually really love it!!!

Photobooks offer several benefits, making them a popular choice for preserving and showcasing memories. They offer a tangible, personalised, and enduring way to preserve and share memories, making them a popular choice for individuals who value the sentimental and visual aspects of their photo collections.

Here are some ideas for your next photobook. Don't forget that I offer photobook design in which I create the book for you.

Are there any other ideas that I have missed?

Many people are fearful of EHDs, but the truth is they are a very valuable tool in your backup system.

I personally use an EHD as ONE of my THREE copies to backup my photos. If you are unsure about EHD's, swipe through to learn more about them.

Here is a checklist of ideas that you may want to include in your baby photobook.

What else would you include?

Let's play a fun game! Comment A, B, C, or D and see if your answer is the same as mine!

While the pursuit of the perfect photo is a noble endeavour, it's equally important to recognise the value of restraint in curating and managing your photo collection. By carefully selecting and organising your photos, you can declutter your digital life, reflect on cherished memories, and appreciate the art of photography, all while preserving your devices' performance and storage space. It's about finding a balance that allows you to enjoy and share your memories without being overwhelmed by an excess of images.

Did you guess correctly?

Amazon Photos...

My hope is that Amazon Photos 'free unlimited photo storage' becomes available for Prime Members in Australia.

To be honest, at this stage, I can't really see the benefit of using this cloud service if you live in Australia.

This was taken the year before I started school. I had strawberry blonde hair that was very curly! Over the years my hair has changed to a natural brown colour, but it is still very curly! In this photo I am actually lying on my Dad's tummy during a family picnic!!! I love the way that I am looking directly into the camera.

It's crazy to think, a tradition of wearing coloured zinc on our faces, continues over 30 years later with my own children! Follow on, for a photo of this next week!

iCloud...

iCloud is the built-in cloud service on all Apple devices.

The benefits are that it's simple and automatic, seamlessly syncs across devices, optimises space (meaning you can take as many photos as you want no matter the size of your phone or computer!) and has great sharing capabilities.

The downsides are that it's a SYNC and not a BACKUP (no matter how many devices you see your items on, it should only be considered ONE copy), it's all-or-nothing, it's very difficult to leave, and it's not ideal for PC users.

Are you using iCloud? If you need any help with iCloud, I offer a 30 minute phone consult or you can contact me via email at [email protected]

~ Year in Review ~ ~Photos & Pages Scanned ~ I was unsure whether to share these figures because they are still quite small. I hope to grow my business in 2024 and hope to help as many families as I can to preserve their photos. If you have printed photos stored in your house, let's make 2024 the year to sort them out! #sortmyphotos #yearinreview #photosmatter #preserveyourphotos #supportsmallbusiness

I love looking back on these sweet little paintings and drawings created by my daughter when she was about 2 years old. If you have a pile of little creations from your children that you haven't done anything with yet, send them to me and I will create a book just like this one.
