Your family memories are precious. And, if you are like most families, your photos are scattered to the whims of social media, forgotten on your phone, or packed in boxes from decades ago. Getting organized and keeping your photos safe may feel overwhelming. It’s just one of your many to-dos on that someday list. Worst yet, something happens, and those memories are gone forever? 

Memories In The Sand, a sister company of Portraits In The Sand, offers photo scanning, digitizing, restoration, and organizing that can then be stored in a private online platform where they are preserved forever and easily accessible and shared with friends and family.

“Live a great story, celebrate and preserve it,” says owner Carrie Koster.  “We want families to see the value in their history and memories and to have the tools to enjoy and preserve them for future generations. Many clients have forgotten family stories in the photos they have packed in boxes, or years of family vacations stored on a computer and easily lost. Memories in the Sand has more than 20 years of photographic experience and created systems that help individuals and families curate and celebrate their family legacies through collections of organized photographs. 

At last, you can get your photos organized, digitized, and create a permanent home for all your digital assets. With Memories in the Sand’s services you can access, share, print, preserve and so much more.  “We value the family story and feel it is important to celebrate with loved ones and preserve for future generations.”

Over the next two months, we'll be busy planning for the holidays, and photo organizing may be a project you want to set aside for now. We get it! But there are still some actions that you can take during this busy time of year to keep your Photo Organizing Project going. The holidays are a great time to focus on family stories, traditions, recipes, and gift-giving. Here is a list of things that you can do in the coming weeks to work on your photo legacy:

1. Start writing down memories of your family's holiday traditions. If spending time with loved ones at Thanksgiving, ask them to share some of their favorite memories and write it down.
2. Make a list of family members who would love a photo gift.
3. Plan a holiday photo session for your family, whether you ask a friend to help or hire a professional. If hiring a professional, make sure to schedule asap, as this is the busiest time of year for family photographers. Use these photos for your 2020 holiday cards.
4. Start Scanning old holiday recipes to save and maybe even print a recipe book to give to loved ones at Hanukkah or Christmas.

Most clovers you see have only three leaves. The estimated statistical odds of finding a fourleaf clover is 10,000 to 1. More difficult to find is a five leaf clover at 100,000 to 1. David Koster of Portraits In The Sand and Home & Boat Watchdog from Rehoboth Beach, DE uses his acute visual skills to often locate the leaves of four. He can sometimes even spot 5 or more leaf clovers too.

Websites about finding four‐leaf clovers state that you don’t want to examine individual clovers. You want to continually scan your eyes over the entire area. The process emphasizes speed by keeping your eyes moving, and the abnormal clover should stand out. This procedure maximizes the number of opportunities for observing a rare four‐leaf clover in the shortest amount of time.
