I use a simple file taxonomy. I have folders for every year and inside that folder, folders for every month. Sometimes all of that months files are in that folder together and sometimes there are folders for separate events or vacations. Each folder has my raw images as well as the edited images. Also, the images are named using the month and year I took them such as monthyear-#### like November2023-1. I upload my favorites to Google Photo to share with family and friends, (I usually send a family update with about 15-20 photos 4-5 times a year) and I use Amazon’s photo storage service, which is free for Prime members, to store all my raw and edited images. Something cool about Google Photo is that you can teach it people’s faces so you can quickly and easily pull together an album with a particular person or a particular set of people. Enjoy!

I’ve had wonderful experience printing with Printique for the last 10 years. They print quickly and have very competitive prices.
