We are so excited about our new line of Senior Announcements. We are offering this new line in 5×7 flat or 5×7 trifold. Printed metallic (all the rage for announcements) samples are in the studio on display. These cards have out-done anything we have ever seen! Your friends will have card envy for sure!
Today’s Groupon is a little ironic for me. I have been going through the house lately chucking things we don’t use or have out grown. I came across the dreaded cabinet with all of our old photos. I literally opened cabinet, peaked in, shut the door and went to the next cabinet. I have hundreds of photos. You remember, the days when we used to have our film developed and received a 4×6 of everything on the roll of film. They have sat in that cabinet for years. My son’s XBox sits outside of the cabinet as there is not room… you get the point!
ScanMyPhotos.com is offering to scan 1,000 4×6 photos for only $29 (includes all photos on a cd and shipping back to you). Honestly, this is a no-brainer. I will now be able to make videos from those funny candid shots of our wedding and of me when I was little. My kids will love it.
ScanMyPhotos.com is located in Irvine, however this deal is only good for mail order. I recommend sending your pictures with a delivery confirmation.

Finally, I will be able to set myself free and de-clutter yet another cabinet. BTW, de-cluttering feels pretty awesome! Kelly
Join us for our next Camera Class at Shutterbug Portraits on Tuesday, August 9th from 6 pm to 8 pm. You’ll learn the basics and get you rethinking “auto” mode. Class fee $30 or bring a friend and both pay $25 each. RSVP on our facebook page or send an email to info@shutterbugportraitstudio.com. See you in class!
Hopefully the day will never come, but chances are your computer will be infected by a virus. In some cases your computer will recover just fine, however most computers will need to be fully restored back to the factory settings. To translate, everything on your hard drive will be erased and the operating system will be reinstalled. Most computer repair companies will try to recover your information, but it will cost you.
I recommend you do one of two things:
1. Backup your files (including pictures) to an external drive. You can set the external drive to automatically backup all of the new information stored from that week (you choose how often). Once setup, the external drive should communicate directly with your computer without your involvement. I do recommend spot checking to make sure the drive is updating as you have scheduled it to.
2. Save all of your files and pictures directly on the external drive. These files never end up on your computer and are less likely to get infected from a virus.
Regardless which option us choose, you should use an external drive. I recently purchased this external drive from Amazon and wanted to share it with you. I purchased this on Monday (6/27) for $69 and today it is $59. Amazon’s prices vary from day-to-day (I just happened to get the wrong end of the stick!). It is VERY simple to install. Westen Digital is a dependable name brand and I now own 3 of their external hard drives and have NEVER had a problem (knock on wood).
