Digital photo frames by Aura are one of the best ways to show and share your photo library. We all take a ton of photos with our cameras and usually don’t put much thought into what will happen to them afterward. So, I’m going to make a couple suggestions to help you get more from your photos this holiday. Read my suggestions, then enter this contest for a chance to get more from the photos you take this holiday season.
Do you know someone who needs an Aura Digital Frame in their life
First, I want to make one thing clear. I need one of these. I need more than one actually: a conservative estimate is seven. I’ve thought carefully about where I would put them (a couple in the bedroom, one in the living room, one in the dining room, etc.). I’ve also considered people in my life who would also love to have one or more Aura Frames. My mother-in-law, for instance. She takes photos with her phone, and with her iPad … all the time. She posts some on Facebook for my wife and I to enjoy, but that’s it. The photos stay on the phone (or in the cloud), but disappear from human memory.
I have also thought carefully about the photos I would show. This is the kicker: I realized that most of the images in my photo library are not “share-worthy.” There are photos that I would want on display, but not enough. That’s the crux of my photo library. I take a ton of photos, but not enough that I would consider precious memories. I love the photos that Brad showed in his review of these frames (and even took one of his images for the feature image at the top of this article). For some people photo worthy is a pet, for others its people or places.
How to make the most of your Aura Digital Frame
Okay so now you know why you and/or your loved ones need these frames and you might have an idea of how many ideally you need in your home. I want to make a couple suggestions for you to get the more share-worthy images this holiday season. That way, when you open your presents and find an Aura Frame, you’ll be ready to load it with the great photos that you never want to forget.
First ( and I’m going to do this too!) try to get lots of pictures of yourself in the shot with your arm around someone you love (or like quite a bit). Do you have many of these shots in your library already? Not likely. You’re probably like me, behind the camera taking the shot. Open your camera app and learn how to use the timer. On my Samsung Note10 it’s right at the top of the display and it is really easy to use. Alternatively, ask someone else to take the photo then check it right away and if the image sucks, ask them to take another. You’re making memories after all!
Secondly, create little photo stories each day to make more of your life memorable. Did you just finish a book? Take a picture of it, with the piece of cake you are about to eat to celebrate. You will quickly find it easy to build a new way of looking at your mobile photography. Instead of just taking a picture, you are building the library of images you will display. For example, we got our tree up early this year, and I took this image of our cat getting ready to pounce while surrounded by tissue paper: she is going through a phase right now where she loves to hide in under tissue paper. So this image will remind us for years about the tree and the cat’s playfulness.

One would be wonderful….and we’d put it in our living room I’m sure. I remember years ago giving a digital frame to my parents for Christmas and it was wonderful to see them put it on the fireplace mantle…and still use it to this day. I’ve always considered getting one for myself as well, too.
Thanks for the chance to win one <3

i would like to win one for my daughter – realistically, i would not use one, because i take awful photos, and i am tech-challenged – but i think she would enjoy (3) to display photos of her travels, and of her pets, and many more beautiful photos that she takes!

I was thinking a little over board. One for every room. Maybe 8. My grandchildren would love to see one in their bedrooms we set up for them, Laundry room would be my pets, as they are usually the ones making the most mess. Kitchen would be me and my husband who spend most of our time there. My phone is always full and I would love to save the most memorable ones.
Two would be nice. One for the family room and the other for the kitchen.
