Holiday Photo Tips!

Happy July everyone! As we are now upon the weekend of July 4th I cannot help but think of all the families that will be gathering for bbq’s and plain old family fun. Looking back all I have are memories. Although family members did take photographs and shoot 8mm home movies no one in the family can recall whatever happened to them.

Today we are lucky to have digital technology in both still and video mediums. Many of today’s cameras permit us to shoot both; however, no matter how you capture the fun times it’s important to remember a few things. First and foremost, transfer the files to your computer and do not erase your disc/card until you have created a back up copy and have checked that the files transferred properly without corruption. Once you have a viable back up it is okay to erase your camera disc/card.

After you have completed saving and backing up your files you should think of sharing your files with other members of your family and friends who may have an interest in having the files to include with their family photos/videos. Having paper copies printed as gifts for family and friends or to include in your personal albums is a great way to preserve your memories. There are many venues that you can use to easily have your digital files printed such as Larmon Photos online portal at larmonphoto.com and click start. These sites allow you to upload your files, crop them and tell the lab what size you would like to have printed.  Best of all you don't even need to leave your home unless you choose to as the prints can either be available to be shipped or for local pick up at one of Larmon’s many locations.

Just remember the most important thing is to have fun and stay safe.  Don't forget you can always call or stop by if you have any questions or need tips.  Larmon also offers classes on many subjects including digital photography basics, and lighting and posing.  Call 215.887.1248 for more details!

From everyone here at Larmon Studios and Larmon Photo, we hope you have a very safe and HAPPY 4th of JULY!!
