I was inspired to write this post from an article I came across recently, which was written in January. How many of you take photos? Between cameras and camera phones, I’m willing to bet the majority of people do, which is awesome! Such great memories right? How many of you print those photos? Few do these days. While more pictures than ever are being taken, few of those images are actually printed. What happens if your house floods, you have a house fire, your computer crashes or your phone takes a swim? What happens to your photos, your memories?
Mike Yost, a photographer from Jacksonville Florida shared his blog post titled, “The Most Photographed Generation Will Have No Pictures in 10 Years!” He quotes that less than 1 out of 100,000 photos that we take, now, are actually printed. That’s no surprise though, right? With the convenience of a smart phone camera and keeping in touch via social media, we don’t think about printing photos anymore. I know I’m guilty.
I highly recommend having professionally taken photos printed with a professional. The local store down the street, doesn’t have a high quality printer, so even though you start out with amazing photos, the end result will diminish from a low quality printer. Now it’s unrealistic that have all your photos you take printed at a high quality. No one could ever afford that! Mpix does a great job at printing compared to most though, so you get a little better quality at an affordable price. Regardless, print your photos!
Print your phone photos! Just google to find some options, but a couple are CVS and Postal Pix. I haven’t used either (mainly because I save my phone photos to my computer and then print later), so you’ll have to let me know how they work out when you try it! Out of convenience sake, they seem like a couple of neat options though. All you have to do is download their app.

Another great option, in addition to your prints, are annual yearbooks. We had them in school, right? Why do a family version! It makes scrap booking so much quicker and easier! A couple months before having Josie, I sat down, bound and determined to to make these books I’ve been meaning to do for years. Since the year I met my husband, I created and finished up annual yearbooks and I will continue to each year from now on. It will be much easier year to year than trying to do 5 books in one sitting… it took quite awhile! 🙂
We never think about how truly important photos are of someone until we lose them and it’s the only thing left to hold on to. But let’s hope it never comes to that. Photos will just become lost memories for our youngest generation.
