Tips for Preparing Your Photographs

Remember, no reminiscing. You have many photos to go through. If a photo stays in your hand longer than 5 seconds, you’re reminiscing.

Take all you photos and put them on a large table. You will have two sections: a “yes” section and a “no” section. If the photos are stuck in albums, that’s okay. Use post-it notes to number the photos and to give direction. Always remove photos from the albums when possible.

The “Yes” section will include:

1. All candid photos that show character and personality.

2. Photos where people are doing something positive and fun

3. Photos that cover the most important moments that took place in your family’s history.

Try to include a couple of photos every year of each family member’s life, if possible. Remember, only the highlights.

Put the “No” section photos out of sight. Now decide how many categories you wish to have. Categories may include: Great Grandparents, Grandparents, Mom & Dad, First Born, Second Born, Family & Friends, Trips, Grandchildren, etc.

Place the photos from each category in individual stacks. Put the photos from each stack in the order you would like them to appear. Next, pressing as lightly as possible, number each photo (on the back) with a pencil. Title and number “manila folders” with the name of each category, the number of photos and any special titles or instruction you wish to include.

Let me do the work of digitizing and adding effects and titles. You can sit back with your family and enjoy watching the story of your lives unfold.
