Photo Sharing/Printing

You can try my method:

1.) Auto-backup everything to Google Photos

2.) Drown in your good intentions forever.

We have a shared album with Apple photos. You can share with family members, just need their email address to give them access. When you upload, they get a notification and can comment. If not everyone has iOS, you can also do the same with google photos. Anyone with apple or android phones or a computer can view.

I would have gone that route, but my cousin had already started through apple photos, and my grandma was comfortable with that. So we just continued that route.

I do an ongoing shutterfly album for the year that I add to once a month and print at the end of the year. Doing the whole year would be overwhelming but a month at a time I find doable.

For family I use facebook and text my MIL who doesn't have it but I only do a few here and there. Mom and MIL show our grandparents. We also do a lot of photo gifts for special occasions so people get copies through that.

I tried to use Google Photos for our wedding photos, but 4 out of 5 parents never figured out how to use it. So I wound up backing them all up to a USB key and mailing that out. I don't recommend this system for anything except a photo shoot.

For printing, I think I am going to do Shutterfly.

For sharing, I think I am going to set up a private Instagram for baby pictures, and just give the name out to people who want to see a million photos of my baby!

I second the shared Apple photo album. We have one that is just of DS and then one we created for my 94 year old Grandma that all of the Grandkids post photos (mostly of the great grandkids) to. It is so fun to see her "like" the photos. She is the only person at the assisted living place that gets pissed when the wifi isn't working!

We plan to use an app called Tinybeans (currently using for bump pics). It emails people you add weekly or instant updates depending on set preferences. Downside is the free version only allows you to upload one picture at a time.
