I absolutely fell in love with the Instagram app when I got my iPhone last January. I received notes from people on Facebook saying I was instagraming too much and I was harassed for my volume of instagrams at family meals, but I didn’t care. I loved it and I was obsessed with capturing life, real life, not perfect life. I’ve always said that the best camera is the one you’ve got with you, and I put my iPhone with instagram to the test. I instagramed my way through Vegas and I instagramed my entire summer. If there’s one thing I tell my clients it’s ”Whatever you do, don’t just keep digital files of photos, print them out to enjoy!” But instagram isn’t really set up for that so I couldn’t figure out how to display all of the photos I loved from our daily life. And then I got an e-mail from Blurb – they could now make a book with all of your instagram photos with just a click of a button – SOLD! At the end of the year I logged in, linked to my instagram account and had a book in about 10 minutes. And I LOVE it. The photos aren’t perfect or technically precise, but it is an awesome way to look back over a year and see all of the things we did together, all of the trips we took, and all of the awesome food we ate. It’s also possible that I have about 50 photos of the pups in the book – they’re just so freakin’ cute!
If you aren’t already addicted to instagram I highly recommend it. And if you want a great and easy way to capture your life in yearly chunks I highly recommend instagram books on Blurb. Super easy and it’s officially my new favorite book.
