Years ago this
was an expensive task: developing each roll of film and then weed through the
bad pix to find the good ones was an expensive endeavor. Digital photography has changed
everything. Now you can take 50
shots of each child trying to put that bat on the ball or 50 shots of each
child trying to score a goal and you will you get that shot, perfect for
framing. Thank Goodness for
Digital Photography!
But what do you
do with all those other pictures that you have of all the kids on your
team? Or those from your kid’s class?
Or the ones from the sleepover?
Keeping 200+ pix from every event on your computer will fill up your
hard drive fast!
Well for me the
answer for me was simple: www.shutterfly.com.
My oldest child,
Hunter, is now 12. I was introduced
to shutterfly.com when he was just
5 years old and I have been a member of shutterfly.com ever since. I have created sites on shutterfly.com
for each of his classrooms and each of his sports teams since joining and I
would highly recommend you do the same. shutterfly.com has housed all of my
photos for the past 7 years and note only are they totally organized but they
are also there any time I need them.
Last year Hunter
graduated from elementary school and with the help of www.shutterfly.com I was
able to pull photos of him with all his friends from every grade and created an
amazing DVD for them as a graduation gift.
shutterfly.com is
also a great way to stay in touch with the members on your team, parents in
your class, grandparents etc...
Besides the photo stuff, shutterfly.com is an interactive website where
you can post daily notices about your class, organization or sport.
Additionally,
last year our school was able to raise $2000 courtesy of shutterfly.com because
the majority of classrooms at the school created classroom websites on shutterfly. Now, all the students and parent have
access to these memories and can enjoy them or do their own DVDs…
You can also use
shutterfly.com to publish Photo Books from the photos in your shutterfly
albums. I create them each year
for each of my kids, their friends’ birthdays, coaches, teachers, grandparents,
etc. The Photo Books are definitely
one of my "Go To” gifts: easy, personal and I know they will be
appreciated. You can also order
professional prints, note cards and calendars with your images.
If you have not
visited this website shutterfly.com do it! I believe you will be as happy
as I have since 2006.
