Have you ever hosted an event and realized afterwards that you forgot to take as many photographs as you meant to? This is exactly what happened at my children’s birthday party two weekends ago and I regret not hiring this Family Photographer in Seattle to take pictures of us. We hosted the party at a local park. The kids were playing beautifully together, making crafts, running around, using the playground equipment, eating tasty food, and having a blast. I was mingling with parents, making sure the food dishes were filled, and monitoring the kids. And I kinda forgot to take photographs. I got some, but I didn’t manage to capture all of the special moments that I had wanted. I know I should’ve gotten a family photographer to help out with taking pictures. I texted all my close friends and family members and asked if they could please send me some of the photographs from the party. After a few days, I got a number of emails and text messages containing the pictures below.
While I am extremely grateful to have received these photographs from friends (especially since I am never in pictures with my children), I realized something — there has to be an easier way to do this than emailing, texting, etc., right? Then I learned about the Seahorse app! Seahorse is a new app that is for documenting life together in shared experiences with friends and family. Seahorse saves your photos and videos in their original resolution, organized by date, location, friends, and scenes. Although all shared photographs and videos in a Seahorse scene are co-owned by everyone invited to that scene, Seahorse is always private.
My favorite feature of this app is “Share a Scene”. Seahorse allows you to invite friends to post pictures to collaborative scenes. I created this scene titled “Lydia & Bryce’s Birthday Party” so that friends can add photographs from this event. Check out all those cute pictures!
