Conquer digital photos!!
This is a sponsored post. For more details see my full disclosure here.
I want to share a fun story with you of how I got my Mac computer. It’s actually my mom and dad’s old computer. They had so many digital photos on their computer they had to buy an external hard drive. You must be thinking, “okay, that’s not that crazy.” Well, the photos were taking up so much space and were slowing the computer down so much they had to buy an external hard drive. Then the time came when they had to buy a second external hard drive. Then very soon after that they couldn’t even turn their computer on because it was so full {of pictures}!!! Can you say, “cray cray!” So my parents ended up buying a new computer, we wiped this one clean and I was the lucky one who got it!
But. They still had a problem. Too many pictures! Even their new computer was slow. I went over to try and help figure out how to fix this digital photo mess but quickly realized that was way too ridiculous. My mom had over 9,000 pictures. Very few of them were named {mostly just a lot of img01.png} and a TON of them were duplicates. This was from years of just downloading her photos straight from her camera.
I knew there had to be some type of solution. I searched high and low and found this awesome, new company out there who specializes in this very problem! Unruly Pictures! I signed my mom up immediately, and they went to work.
Getruly cleaned up ALL of her digital photos!!

Yes, they went through her photos and put in files what was unnecessary {that she ended up deleting later… there was something like 3,600 “unnecessary” photos… something like that}. They actually organized her photos into folders, and best of all they actually photoshopped some of the best ones.
Can you say, Cool Beans! haha No, all joking aside, it was a really great experience.
My husband and I were so excited about this that we signed our little laptop up. We didn’t have quite the amount of photos, but it sped up our laptop like 10 times faster!
Here is the best part of all, because I loved these guys so much {well, they aren’t all guys… they actually create jobs for women in poverty as a way to help them get back on their feet}.. so I should say, I loved the customer experience SO MUCH & I love YOU so much I have a treat for YOU!!!!
<At my house we get super, duper excited when we say the “T” word! Like fists in the air, big cheeser grin and a little bit of jumping!>
