How Will You Be Documenting Your Family in 2025?
Think ahead: How do you want your family to remember this year? What childhood memories will your kids hold onto twenty years from now? More importantly, how will you ensure those memories are preserved? How Will You Be Documenting Your Family?
If you’re the type to reach October and suddenly realize summer has vanished, the fall leaves have come and gone (hello, unpredictable Calgary weather!), and you’re scrambling for updated family portraits before Christmas card season, this is for you. If you’re a planner, mapping out your year in January and setting goals to stay on track, this is also for you.
Here are three simple steps to ensure the memories you create in 2025 don’t disappear into a forgotten digital folder but instead become tangible keepsakes that will last for generations.
1. Back Up Your Photos – Monthly!
Whether you capture daily life with your phone or a professional camera, your photos are too precious to leave unprotected. Digital loss is real, and unfortunately, technology isn’t failproof—phones crash, hard drives fail, and toddlers have an uncanny knack for deleting things (or dropping them in the toilet!).
Best Practices for Photo Backup:
- Back up your images in at least two places. Use an external hard drive, cloud storage, or both.
- Set a recurring reminder to back up at the end of every month.
- Delete unnecessary images (blurry, duplicates, or unwanted shots) immediately after taking them or during your backup session.
- Organize by date (e.g., FamilyPhotos2025 → January2025) for easy access later.
2. Print Your Favorite Photos – Often!
Don’t let your favorite moments stay trapped in the digital world. Printing your photos transforms them into cherished keepsakes that your family can revisit for years.
Make Printing a Habit:
- Print monthly, quarterly, or whenever you have a batch of favorites.
- Perfection isn’t the goal—presence is. Your kids will love flipping through printed photos.
- Use services like Chatbooks or Parabo Press for effortless, high-quality prints without the overwhelm.
3. Book Your Annual Family Photo Session – Now!
