Photo Freedom Giveaway.

Definitely the biggest is photo organization. Gotta get a good system down! Thank you, Ali! :)

My struggle is after i take the photo's and getting them organized. Not sure how to do it. Do I organize by child, theme, school? Just not sure, maybe I need to take a class!

keeping up with organizing my photos...on cd's, after they are printed and on the computer. I so try to make folders and file...just can't keep up. Makes it hard to know what I even have.

deciding which to print from the hundreds and hundreds on my computer

My biggest struggle is that I take lots of photos...especially since I started reading your blog. I try to take atleast one photo a day and usually it is never one photo. I find it easy to organize the events but I like my daily life photos and find it very confusing trying to organize those. I could use a little help!! or a lot!!

My photo problem is getting better at taking indoor photos, I can never get the light right. Or my 2 1/2 year old subject is too fast.

Ooooh well its remembering to print off photos if I'm honest....Stupid,simple, but so true. I need to sort it out!
Happy thursday, Ali

My biggest struggle is that I have way too many pictures...sometimes I don't know what to do with them. I'm trying to learn that I don't have to scrapbook each an everyone of them, only the onces that really speak to me.

My biggest struggle is how to organize the whole lot! Like most new moms, I took about 10-20 photos a day of my first son. I printed all of them. My problem is, I am now a digi-scrapper and I can't find the electronic version of them!!! Now being overwhelmed with all of those photos, I tend to NOT take as many of my second son - and that isn't boding well for my THIRD who is due later this year! I need help. How to organize all of them on my computer, best way to back them up so I won't lose them and then how to get the most out of all the precious photos by using them in a layout! Help is definitely needed.

My two biggest problems are not having a camera that takes quality pictures! And secondly, not taking enough pictures of my family and our daily life!

My biggest challenge right now is not taking enough pictures. I always have the camera with me but don't get it out often enough.

My biggest photo struggle is the process.
Do I plan out the page after selecting which photos to print, and then print them according to the sizes I want them at, OR do I print them all at 4x6, and just deal with the current size I have. My second photo struggle is finding a good way of printing them economically. I have photo printers at home, and they just don't print as nice as I'd like, so then it's spending money on getting them done out of the house. It's just a chore!

Overwhelmed! I ordered the last set of prints of my oldest daughter when she was 2 1/2 and she's now 5 1/2. I have zero prints ordered of my younger daughter who's 2 1/2. My photos are all organized on my computer but the idea of sifting through hundreds of pictures is daunting. I'm really excited to get Stacy's new book. I was actually thinking of getting her Big Picture book before I heard about the new one. Thanks for sharing Ali!

my biggest photo struggle without a doubt is organization. I have tons of pics before I went digital that are just sitting there because I don't know how to begin to get them ready to either be scrapped, put into a plain jane album or flat out tossed. Then there are the digi ones. They remain on the computer by date--and that's only because that's how the software my camera came with files them for me.

My problem is I take so many pictures. Then I try and organize them on my computer and decide which ones to keep and which ones to delete but it can be very stressful! Choosing which ones to scrapbook before I get them printed is a whole other struggle.

So many challenges...where do begin. At one time, I would print pictures as soon as I uploaded. But I was tired of having the huge pile of prints to dig through.
Now I have months and months worth of pictures that haven't been printed. Every so often I will make a list of all the pictures waiting to be printed. But it doesn't seem to help me at all.
When I do print pictures for scrapping, I print a lot at one time. Then when I'm actually creating a page, I decide that I want different sized photos...or that I want to crop the photo differently. So I'm back to the drawing board.
We went on vacation shortly after the holidays and I have sooo many pictures uploaded. It would be wonderful to have a real system and works to start off the year!!

TWO THINGS
1. When I got a digital camera about a year and a half ago I was amazed and LOVED that I could print only the photos that I wanted. My excitement soon dulled when I realized that once I downloaded them and erased them off my card I never seemed to "go" and print them off, therefore I never have any photos on hand to scrap. They are just sadly sitting in my computer.
2. I dont know how to organize the photos very well ON the computer. I have a hard time coming up with catagories. I dont know the best way to tag them.

my biggest struggle is lighting....I just never feel like I have it right...outside is okay but inside I either have glares I don't want or it is too dark --- not sure if it is the camera or me...we'll say the camera! LOL!
