What to do with all these photos!

I'm sheepish to discuss how I manage all my photos, mainly because I'm a miserable failure after my "big" DSLR camera shoots. I've got more photos than I'm going to admit now backed up on the iCloud. I'm not the best at doing what a good editor should do - immediately after a photo shoot delete the duds and catalog the rest. It's so easy to fall into the trap: I can always find the photos I want by the date they were shot!

I've had a lot more success organizing photos on my iPhone, which makes it pretty easy to sort photos into customizable albums. Below are links to a detailed look at how to organize on the iOS system for iPhones and iPads, and for androids.

Setting up albums is a big step to making sense of all of your photos. The tip that has helped me the most -- when I want to share photos on social media or make prints, I mark the photos and save into the Favorites album. Much easier to just go to the Favorites album instead of sorting by date. You can always use the default albums, or create your own. Avoid overdoing it and setting up too many albums, creating another organizational challenge!
