Print your Instagrams from your phone!

By Elisabeth

I don't know about you, but ever since I was introduced to the Iphone app, Instagram, I have a hard time taking pictures with an actual camera. (Sad, I know.) And while every photo should not be filtered, it's still quite fun to manipulate a decent original picture in the Instagram App.

Back in April, when our baby was born (#3), I spent lots of time in the hospital bed (the full 2 days baby!) gazing at my new little nugget and taking over-the-head shots of the both of us.

Uh, What else was I supposed to do?

But, once I came out of the newborn haze, some 11 weeks later, I realized, how on earth am I going to print these ONE-OF-A-KIND, SPECIFICALLY SHAPED pictures?

(At the time, I was taking each picture within the actual app, as opposed to my Iphone camera, first.) I did some research and didn't find exactly what I was hoping for at the time.

Luckily, I have a really cool friend that saw something I might be interested in, due to my "you take way too many pictures with that app, girlfriend." She recently sent me a link to Postal Pix.

Postal Pix is a FREE app that prints your photos, helps you pic a size for your pictures, like the not-so-normal 4 x 4 (PERFECT for Instagram's square photos) and upload them to your cart all from your phone.

Of course, you do have to buy the photos, but the ease of choosing each and every one from my camera, enter in my credit card, then hit BUY all from my phone? GENIUS. Plus, it's something I can do while I feed my baby since that's the only time I find any.downtime.EVER.

 

UPDATE: Just received my hard copies in the mail. The quality is AMAZING. (Some filters show up better in print, fyi, but I am SO pleased none-the-less.) See?

I have been using Postal Pix for a while, but here's an issue I've run into: I cannot find frames for the 4x4 pics ANYWHERE, online of off (although I haven't been able to scavenge an IKEA). It's discouraging. I have a couple project ideas that wouldn't need frames, but I was hoping to just find some cheap wooden ones to place around the house. You'd think someone would've already started cashing in on this phenomenon. Maybe they will...
