I love taking pictures to the point of my friends and family barely tolerating me at events. (I always tell them that if they smile the first time, I'll only need one shot!) Needless to say, I've been taking a lot of pictures of the kids I nanny, S and O.
They just had their joint birthday party and I was trying to figure out how to get the photos to their parents. Prints are a waste of money if you don't know exactly which ones they'd want and discs are pretty convenient but would require me to, you know, have discs to burn. Then I remembered that after my wedding, my dad made a photo share page through Shutterfly to send pictures to family and friends to view and add on to.
So tonight, I took the time to make a photo share site for all of the adventures the kids and I have. We've been to the zoo, aquarium, beach, and done a lot of fun projects that their parents hadn't seen photos of yet! I even have their birthday party and first day of school photos! So I uploaded them all to albums on Shutterfly and will send the link to their parents.
What is nice is the site is only available to those who have the link and that the kids parents will have the option to send that link to grandparents, family and friends. They will also have the option to print photos they do decide they want as keepsakes.
I can see this being a great idea to do with friends after an event, coworkers after a conference, or family after a new baby so everyone has the options to view, add, and print the pictures they like!
