It's not too late to create some wonderful photo gifts for a loved one. If you have a computer and some photos, you're halfway there. Here are a few ideas:1. Make a photo CD.  You can collect special photos from the past year and copy them on to a CD. If you use Picasa, you can star the photos you want to use and create a folder with all the starred photos. Then use the "Gift CD" button and

Most of us keep our "point and shoot" camera on the automatic setting as we take our photos.  I do the same because, after all, it is a "point and shoot" camera and the whole point is to keep photo taking easy.  I never read my camera's owner's manual, but every once in awhile, I discover a feature that makes it worth shifting from the automatic setting.  My latest favorite camera setting is the

We all enjoy looking back at photos.  Who can resist looking at their grown child's baby photos and fondly remembering holding that precious little bundle?  My kids love looking at their own baby photos.  They love looking at photos of past birthday parties and holidays.  It truly is a gift to your children and to yourself to take photos.  You don't have to be a great photographer or have a

Halloween just passed and it’s a good time to do something quick and easy that will take the stress out of Christmas. You know how Christmas creeps up on you (well, on me anyway) and you have the last minute dash for a small gift to give friends and family that you don’t give a big gift to? Here’s a solution to avoid that situation: create a small photo book that combines photos and recipes. It’s

If you're contemplating making your first photo book, start with a project that's recent, manageable, and exciting for you.  This is a great time to start a holiday gift for a loved one. Believe me, it's very motivating to have a deadline (i.e. a holiday) to keep you going.  Both Picaboo and Shutterfly have tools that make photo books easier to make than ever.  All you need to do is arrange your

If you have challenges with managing your family photos, believe me, you’re not alone. I have met so many people who sheepishly admit that they don’t know how to get the photos from their digital camera to their computer. Others have gotten them onto their computer but don’t know what to do after that. A third group of people go one step further and get their digital photos printed only to

I love to take photos, but by no stretch of the imagination am I an "expert photographer."  I basically point and shoot.  I don't use all the features that my camera offers.  My philosophy has been to take a lot (and I mean A LOT) of photos and chances are at least one photo will turn out well.  Recently, I read an article that gave a few tips on digital photography.  I'm not very good at reading

Take PhotosThis may sound obvious, but we've all been in situations when we've wished we had our camera and we've left it at home.  Get a good, compact digital camera and carry it everywhere you go.  (I like the Canon Digital Elph Series.)  Keep it in your purse, diaper bag, briefcase or pocket.  You'll always be ready to take photos and even digital movies when those unexpected precious moments

When my children grow up and reminisce about their childhood, they'll have some good memories and some not so good memories.  The photo albums I put together help all of us remember the good memories.  I don't take photos of temper tantrums, meltdowns, or the times that Mom lost her patience.  I do take photos of smiles, celebrations,  and adventures.  When I complete a photo book of the past

I made this photo book using family photos alongside favorite family recipes. It was an easy, fast book to do and it made a great gift for friends and family. You can easily adapt it with your own photos and recipes by viewing the photo album and selecting the "Make One Like This" button. Have fun! Click here to view this photo book.

I’ve always enjoyed taking photos, but I haven’t always enjoyed putting the photos into photo albums or making scrapbooks. At times I would try buying a cheap photo album and put my photos in the slots, but I rarely wrote much and over time I would forget what was happening in the photos. I made an effort at scrapbooking, which allowed me to journal and include memories that weren’t in photos,

I recently made a small 5"x7" softcover photobook on Shutterfly to take with me to a class reunion. I included photos of my family, my home, neighborhood, daily activities and recent events. I even included a photo of my old minivan since I spend so much time in it taking my kids to their activities. I called it a "Snapshot in Time". The photobook was inexpensive and it helped me to connect with
