Right now our digital photos are a disaster. Some are on my computer, some on husband's computer, some on flash drives, some on external hard drives, not to mention all the photos on our phones! Most are just in random files not associated by date or event or anything. Yikes! I'm so intimidated to even get started! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-pictures#post-221338 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 14:29:19 +0000 Mrs. Pen 221338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as you.. I have them by year, then month and then within each month I will do a big event (vacation, holidays, etc). </p> <p>But i wasn't always so consistent - so I need to fix most of the pictures from before the last few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-pictures#post-221322 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 13:45:57 +0000 sulli301 221322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Year &amp; month, plus special folders for big events </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-pictures#post-221315 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 13:12:37 +0000 runsyellowlites 221315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have separate folders for each person/event:<br /> DD<br /> DS<br /> DH &amp; I<br /> ME<br /> BDAY/year<br /> Holiday/year<br /> Etc</p> <p> I wish I was better about dating them though, especially now that I'm back in the baby years &amp; even a week makes a huge difference is DDs size, milestones, etc.</p> <p>I just need to get my files organized in general!.. Been on my to do list for the better part of this last year! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-pictures#post-221271 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 11:21:57 +0000 SugarplumsMom 221271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really sort them - I leave them sorted by date but back them up in an external HD. It's convenient to do since all I do is drag them into the new folder for storing, but it's a huge pain to find specific pictures. Although, I don't think I'll ever change it because it's pretty rare that I search for old pictures.</p> <p>I am starting something new. I want to make family photo books and plan to upload pics of the LO little by little (as I take them). That way it's not a monumental task to finish it and I can finally cash in on those promos they email that's only good for 3 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-pictures#post-221155 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 06:07:07 +0000 Andrea 221155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Year:month:event. LO gets her own monthly folders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-pictures#post-221114 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 23:18:13 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 221114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: I delete anything out of focus or obviously bad, but I still keep a ton! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-pictures#post-221113 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 23:16:02 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 221113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have them sorted by date. They're pretty unorganized right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-pictures#post-221109 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 23:09:41 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 221109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Year, then month then day. I take a lot of photos and tend to download them right away. Inside every day folder is a folder for my final post processed images, and inside my yearly folder is a sub folder for web sized images named by month/day/#. The separate folders and file names keeps me from saving over a large file with a web version. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-pictures#post-221104 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 22:50:41 +0000 BoogieBea 221104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sort them in year and month folders. Do you save every picture taken? I go through them and upload the good ones on Flickr (where the grandparents view the pictures), but I keep everything in my archives - even some of the bad ones, I don't know why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-pictures#post-221094 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 21:59:44 +0000 chopsuey 221094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have separate folders for our pictures (Events, trips, etc).<br /> ie:<br /> LO 2011<br /> LO 2012<br /> Wedding<br /> November CA trip</p> <p>And the files are named: 2011.01.12 (year.month.date) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-organize-your-pictures#post-221091 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 21:35:07 +0000 Mrs. Bee 221091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the midst of backing up all my pictures and documents from the past 10 years onto Google Drive. I think it will take me 6 months to upload everything!</p> <p>Most of the files are pictures, so I was wondering how you organize your pictures? I group them by year, then month, and then within each month by big activities such as charlie's birthday.</p> <p>How do you organize your pictures? </p>
