My 2009 Family Yearbook

You're probably like me and have many pictures from last year. I love to reminisce about all the wonderful moments that I shared with family and loved ones, so I have been working on my 2009 family yearbook. This is the template I decided to use for my book.

What is making it easy for me to fill the pages of my book is that I organized and uploaded pictures to my Heritage Studio albums by month. I have found that this is by far the simplest way to keep photos organized and easy to reference based on the date the pictures were taken. For each photo, I am able to add notes and details immediately after I upload them to the album and this has made writing the "story" for my yearbook go quickly.

Wedding and Special Event package

It's been great these past few weeks! Babyfest in Bakersfield was such a wonderful event and I met so many amazing people. Valerie McDonough and Diane Tiede joined our team and I'm so excited for them. Their passion for story and photos is so inspiring and I can't wait to help them with their business launch.

We also had our first DigiCrop in the LA area on February 28 and it was so much fun! Hazel was our instructor for the evening and she shared so many great tips and tricks on how to make wonderful page layouts for our storybooks. She was feeling really generous so everyone who attended got a free template of their choice and a free storycard credit. Christine Bryant, the massage therapist, was definitely one of the favorites of the evening! And of course, Terrace Cafe provided a wonderful venue and really yummy food!

Another example of how bringing people together to share their stories and photos and creating storybooks is pure magic :)

Can't wait until next month!
