Summer Is Here—Let’s Make the Most of Your Memories!

With longer days and warmer weather, chances are your calendar is filling up with celebrations and adventures. From beach days, graduation parties, and travels, this season is rich with photo-worthy moments. And we all know—the photos we take now become the memories we cherish when the days grow short again.

Here are a few easy ways to get ahead of seeing, sharing, and saving your summer memories before they get lost in the digital shuffle:

1. Get Organized Before Memories Start Piling Up

Being proactive can make all the difference:

  • On your phone or computer, create a folder labeled “Summer 2025”

  • Regularly move new photos into this folder

  • Use the ABC Method while sorting (don’t know what this is – be in touch!)

  • Is your calendar already full? Create subfolders like “Beach Day,” “Graduation,” or “France!”

Pro Tip: Set a weekly reminder to delete duplicates—your future self will thank you!

2. Share the Love with Slideshows and Photo Gifts

Hosting a picnic, Father’s Day brunch, or graduation party? This is the perfect time to:

  • Gather meaningful family photos and create a quick digital slideshow

  • Or print a mini album for guests to flip through and enjoy

These simple gifts spark joy and connection—and they’re often more treasured than anything you could buy.

3. Don’t Lose the Stories Behind the Smiles

Are you hosting a multi-generational gathering or vacation? Take a few minutes to:

  • Pull out older photos that are missing context

  • Use the voice memo or video feature on your phone to record stories from parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles

Capturing those voices now means future generations won’t have to guess who’s in the picture—or why it mattered.
