How to organise photos

Hello! How does everyone organise printed photos? I feel like I can't stay on top of them. Do you print them off regularly and make photo albums, or boxes or what? Help I'm drowning

I only print out photos I want in frames. I swap them around every couple of years or so. I only really print holiday photos. How many are you printing exactly? Maybe you need some albums.

Hmmm.im wondering whether my issue is that I print so many. I tend to get quite snap happy! Do you not worry about having not printed the other ones? I'm a bit of a perfectionist..

I print very few photos. I take so many, if I printed them all there would be no room for anything else in the house.

I currently have about 4000 photos in my phone library, so no, I don’t worry about having not printed the other ones! I just like to have the best ones of me, DH and kids, most taken abroad or on holiday. I think maybe your best bet is photo albums !

Since I had my daughter 14 months ago, I use a well known photo printing app to create a full month of photos each month. I’ve no idea why but I do just love looking through them and when family visit it seems nicer than them flicking through my phone. They arrive in the usual old style cardboard envelope and I just date them on the outside. They’ll go in her Pandora’s box just in case there is ever a time photos in ‘the cloud’ are lost forever.

Goodness me that is organised. Very good! What is he app? I think I'm caught between arranging in a photo album and something more along these lines. But I'm basically paralysed as a result! But yes I think the issue here is that I feel like I want to print hundreds and therefore feel very behind/ overwhelmed. I have a small child and you're so aware of this time being fleeting too, that you want to capture everything. And I start to question what the point of taking all these photos if I'm not going to print them off? Gah.

Sorry, not sure why I’ve only just seen this. It’s Photobox. I was only 6 months behind when I started so caught up quite quickly. I find it easier to (on iPhone) ‘favourite’ the photos I really like and probably want to print, that way when it comes to actually sending an order in it’s a lot faster to find the ones I want.
