How I Print & Organize Our Photos
How I Print & Organize Our Photos
I'd love to say that I print our photos quarterly (maybe even monthly) but the reality is that I get to it about every other year. Here's how I do it.
1. I scroll through all of the photos on my iphone and "favorite" (tap the heart) the ones I want to print.

2. I transfer these "favorites" to the big screen on my laptop so I can do minor edits in the Photos application e.g. straightening, cropping, etc.
