Facebook Photos!

I have to admit after a lot of resisting on my part I have fully become addicted to Facebook. One of the things I like best about it is getting to "see" my clients that I haven't met face to face yet since they live out of state and, of course, looking through everyone's photos. And I'm tickled when people put their wedding pictures on their Facebook pages for everyone to see. I had a recent client email me recently telling me that while she would like to put more pictures from her wedding on Facebook but that "It takes forever for them to upload".

Here's a simple explanation to that problem. The files that you get from your wedding coverage are huuuuuuuuge files. They are intended for printing out to a photo, not for web use. The photos you see on the web are actually low resolution so they don't take up as much space on web servers. That's why when you try to print out a photo from the web it looks pixilated and icky. When you try and upload those huge files to Facebook, it has to render them to smaller files; hence the long upload time.

If you would like web sized versions of your wedding photos so you can put them on Facebook or your own blogs with ease, I am happy to provide that for you. I won't put my logo or anything like that on them because that's just not how I roll, but you could, oh...do something nice like rant and rave about how great I am and link to my website :) THAT is how I roll, shameless self promotion.

If you'd like a low res copy of your files just email me an I'll pop a disk in the mail for you.

Happy Holidays!
