How to Organize your Kid's Photos Like a Professional Photographer?

Last Updated :

We often find it real hard to sort through our photo collection. What's more difficult is to organize them and find something specific from the clutter. However, have you ever wondered how a professional photographer organizes his photo projects so easily and effortlessly? It is simply because they follow a schedule and a process that makes it pretty simple and manageable. Here's how a professional photographer organizes his collection:

  1. It is good if you take pictures with a time stamp. Sorting 100's and 1000's of picture becomes easy. After you are done for the day, the first step is to transfer all your photos from your camera's memory card (or your phone) to a folder on your computer.
  2. When you transfer your photos, label your folder appropriately. For example if you took the photos at the 1st monthesary of your daughter, (say Ann), the folder might be 'Ann's 1st Monthesary', you can be more specific and add date if you want. For example 'Ann's 1st Monthesary 20150121 (yyyymmdd).
  3. The best way to organize your photos is through the delete button, confused? Well, at this point thoroughly go through your photos and delete any that you don't like. Probably the ones where your kids eyes are closed, face blurred, etc. This will help you save a lot of digital space. And quality is always better than quantity.
  4. Move the folder into a folder for that month. So, in this case the folder will go in January 2015.
  5. The best way if to keep the current month's folder on your desktop for easy navigation. You can then easily move photos into that folder as you take them in the month.
  6. When the month is over, move the folder into the yearly folder, which is 2015.
This simple and easy process will not only help you organize your digital life but will also cut back on the amount or the number of photos that you store. Taking the time to capture a moment in time is easy but it all may waste if you do not organize & store them correctly. So, take that extra effort to organize and store your photos. Your kids will thank you for all the hard work you do.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
