Over the years, individual school or class photos, professional family portraits, and other memorable pictures can accumulate. And what about artwork the kids did at school, professional pieces you bought, and gifts you received? You don’t want to let go of anything, but how do you organize and preserve it?
You’re sentimental about the past and love to revisit memorable events and people captured in old print photos. But a cardboard box in the attic or basement won’t preserve these treasures forever, and moving every so often isn’t helping you keep track of them either. Picture This Organized has the answers.
Traditional decorative photo frames have always been great for displaying photos around the house or personal workspace. You may have many of them that you keep current as family members grow or new events and milestones happen.
As 2020 nears its end, we find ourselves looking back at a blur of activity and meeting new challenges head-on.

Your collection may include:

But, how do you keep track of all those new images added to your photo gallery? If you have an iPhone, it’s as simple as creating separate albums. This makes them easy to find and view quickly.
A new year is a great time for fresh starts and getting organized.
If you’re facing a full Saturday of organization tasks, armed with new plastic bins, file folders, and labels, consider keeping your smartphone camera handy as well.
We all know photos help us tell stories and preserve memories, but we don’t usually consider adding photos into our toolbox of organizational equipment.
