It is no secret that motherhood requires you to use every trick in your bag and come up with new ones on a daily basis just to keep up. That is especially true for mothers like myself who’s family is too far away to lend a hand. That being the case there are just two things that I can’t life without; unlimited minutes on my cell phone and sharing photos online.
I want my family to be able to see my son grow up, as they are able to do with his cousins who live in the same town. I also take more pictures of my little one daily than most people take in a week. Relying on postal service is both costly and slow; uploading your photos onto the internet is really the only way to go.
There are so many benefits to sharing your photos online; I can’t believe I only started doing it this year. I had associated it with teens and myspace and never really looked into it. However, most of the websites that you upload your pictures to let you order prints and other products.
The one I use even retains my address book so I can share pictures with everyone or just two or three people with only a few seconds of clicking. There is even an automatically formatted invitation from my account to view the photos which saves me tons of time. Not only can I use it to order prints, but so can everyone else I share them with.
I can’t even tell you how much I used to spend on doubles and triples just so I would have enough to give away. Now everyone picks out what they want and does whatever they want with them. My cousin stores them on her iPhone while my mother is constantly ordering 8x10s. One of the nicest things is that they can send me comments as soon as they see them and I can pretend we are all hanging out together chatting about our kids instead of spread across the country.
There are more technical advantages too. The photos you upload are stored on the websites server, so you can access them from anywhere. It is the perfect place to store your precious memories in case of fire or other destruction. My cousin who is studying to be a professional photographer uses the sites to get critiques on her photo skills from family and peers.
Whether you are a professional photographer or a time pressed mom, photo sharing websites are ideal for you. It doesn’t matter if you scan in a print or start with a digital image, as long as you know how to store your pictures as a jpeg you are good to go. If you don’t, Adobe Photo shop can do it for you. Either way you can simplify your life and start uploading now.
