Baby Photo Tip Four: Add Text

Before I start the photo tip, I want to go on record: we just purchased a baby sling. It is changing our lives forever. Miss Belle finally takes a morning nap. It's not a long nap--I still have to decide if I'm going to blog, fix my make-up, read a book, fold laundry, watch HGTV, or write a poem or thank you notes. Usually, I blog.

With all of the photos I've been snapping--I know, baby photo overload--I sometimes get the milestones lost in the millions. So I decided to start adding text to the photos I don't want to forget as firsts, memories, and milestones. I might not print them with the text when I order prints, but at least I can remember what I want to write on the back. It helps my fuzzy mama mind.

I really want to learn how to write on the photos using Photoshop. But I'm not there yet. That's why I adore the Phonto app on my iPhone. The font selection is unreal, you can change the color, and you an even add background colors. What memories do you want to write down?

xo.

  1. Love the crazy hair look!

    Adding text in Photoshop is super simple. Don't psych yourself out!

    You just open your photo, select the T (text) tool from the toolbar, drag a box (upper left corner to lower right), let go and then you can type! Open up the "Character" window to change the font, size, etc. Let me know if you need more help!

    3. Sure! I don't have a tablet, so I can't tell you off the top of my head, but I think I could help you figure it out! I will send you a message!
