Whenever I get to see my abuelita and she asks what I’ve been up to, I always find myself pulling out my phone to show her pictures of my recent whereabouts. She’s in her 80s and her vision isn’t great so when I show her Instagram photos she can’t zoom in on, it isn’t her favorite thing. “Well Elizabeth, I can’t see that!” The last time I saw her she looked at a photo of me and said, “Can you print that out for me? I want to have it on my wall.” (she’s Puerto Rican and her accent rocks)

Being silly with my abuelita and mom ;P

She inspired me to print out more than just one photo, in fact I printed out 48 and am so happy I did. I have over 10,000 photos on my phone and rather than leave them to collect dust in my iCloud photo library, I feel good about bringing them into the 3-D world. I researched a few companies that print Instagram photos and decided to use Social Print Studio because of it’s easy-to-use interface and I liked what I saw on their Facebook and Instagram channels.

The prints came in no time and were even better quality than I expected. They’re sturdy and smooth and just beautiful all by themselves. I ended up putting them in these cute white frames by Tiny Mighty Frames to create a mini-collage in my kitchen.

I love how I can switch them out, too.

P.S. These little guys make great gifts for moms and especially grandmas that don’t have smartphones.
