Hellobee Boards

With professional photos I usually have a couple printed and put them in the frames in our gallery wall. I switch the photos out every so often but usually the professional ones stay a long time. The rest of the photos go in the family album I make each year.

- Christmas card
- Yearly photobook
- I get the pictures printed for Mother's Day, and put them in the same frames, keeping the old ones in there as well, behind the new one. We have the following:

4 8x10s:
2 in the living room- parent w/ child
2 in the kids rooms- kids on their own

2 16x20: sibling photos or family photos... one is in the playroom and one in our room.

1 20x30, family photo.... this was REALLY large and I kind of feel embarassed, haha. It is at the end of our hallway.

I would like to have a few prints, holiday card, and also a pic to have for things like when your preschooler needs "a photo of the family" in the classroom. I realized that I have exactly three of those, one in our home when dd was a newborn, a selfie in our bed on NYE (can barely see baby) and one on a trip. Its a big to do trying to get everyone to sit still for a pic so between it being a pain for me and my husband not caring it just doesn't happen. Debating whether we will do a nice pic this year. Had planned on it but idk.

@Foodnerd81: I guess I've gone in the opposite direction.. I at least had a few with my first. I told dh about it and he said "I have tons of pictures," and I said "of all of us?" And he said he didn't realize that was important. 🤦‍♀️ Sooo my middle kid has a slightly scary looking pic of us hanging in his classroom. Oh well, probably only embarrassing for me not him!

I print my favorite through framebridge. I request the open back so I can swap out. We do Christmas cards and a album of 4x6 photos from the year.
