The teams behind Recently and 600sqftandbaby are launching a year-long campaign to help city-dwelling parents manage the unyielding stream of artwork kids bring home. The collaborative series of articles will teach families how to save space by photo-documenting kids’ artwork and save time by using the Recently app‘s automated features to convert those photos into archival photo books. Alison Mazurek, founder of 600sqftandbaby, will share her photography techniques for lighting, composition, editing and organization. The series will then guide readers through her tips on using Recently to quickly convert art photos into a chronology of artbooks. The first article launches today, read it here.
For young, city-based, families where average apartment sizes hover around 700 sq. ft., clutter and storage become predominant issues. As children grow, so do their catalogs of artwork. Parents are torn between saving memories and running out of space. This series will share a simple and guilt-free pathway to reducing clutter, while retaining tangible keepsakes.
Recently, a photo book app available for download here, streamlines the hardest parts of the photo book creation process. It uses intelligent photo analysis and automation to organize, layout and print photo books automatically. “Recently takes seconds, compared to other apps which are complicated, making the process cumbersome and time consuming,” says Alison Mazurek, “And the paper quality and design is unmatched.”
The partnership is a logical extension of years of mutual appreciation. “Elizabeth and I have always admired Alison’s creative strategies for maximizing small spaces, her skill when photographing kid’s art, her aesthetic when practicing minimalism and her commitment to chronicling her family’s life.” says Scott Valins, founder of the Recently app.
