I do still take as many photos and I still have as much trouble getting all my photos and stories scrapped as I did with my regular camera. I’m often able to share quicker on my phone camera with friends and family through Facebook updates. It is just not possible for me to carry my good camera around while chasing three kids. My phone however can be tucked away and brought back out in a moments notice.

I use all the photos when I scrap, those from my good camera and my iPhone. Quality is different between them and sometimes that makes me sad that I don’t have a picture with a higher megapixels so I can do more with it. But it is the story that makes the impact, the picture just helps. The only pictures I have of my first daughter are with an old 2.0 megapixel camera and I will never have any pictures of her that I can do more with them. So I try to just remember getting the stories down and the memories is what is important.

I tend to scrap more now because I am taking more pictures. Having the phone camera means I can get photos anytime, anywhere and I do. I use Dropbox so my photos are uploaded there soon after I take them. From there I clean them up a bit, print or use in digital layouts. The camera phone is also great for Project Life. I’d say 99% of those photos came from my cell phone camera.

I agree with the comments above. I still take my big camera to events/occasions where I might take a lot of pictures. But I love the convenience of being able to whip out the iPhone and actually take a picture or two where I would never have even had a camera before. I scrap both kinds of photos, on the same layouts, if they support the story. I use the iPhone photos and screen shots all the time in my Project Life and on layouts too. I wouldn’t do without my cell phone for scrapbooking anymore.

I would say that 75% of my photos are taken with my iPhone. It is with me 99.9% of the time, and I even have an app that can extract photos from videos that I’ve taken. The photos, admittedly, aren’t the best quality, but the memory has been captured, which is more important to me.

I probably take less pictures now that I don’t carry my DSLR around everywhere with me. I do however, get a lot of different photos on my Iphone from random events that I wouldn’t have gotten before. I also will scrap my Iphone pictures if they turn out good enough.

I take a lot of pictures with my iPhon 4Se. I have never had the privilege of owning a good DSLR. My iPhone replaced an ailing digital point-and-shoot. The phone takes better pictures, it was so bad!

I scrap with my iPhone photos all the item. I use iCloud to keep my laptop, iPad, and phone all up-to-date photo-wise. I absolutely love love love not having to remember to download photos off my phone.

One trick I recently discovered by accident. If I drag & drop a photo from Aperture to PSE it comes in with fewer pixels than if I send it to edit in PSE (via control click on my Mac) Don’t know why that is, but I’m happy for the larger photos.

I am so excited about Renées class. I’ve been saying ever since I got my iPad (1st G) that someone needs to figure out how to do scrapbooking on it. Class starts Monday, Friday I leave for vacation. I’ll have Internet access at least part of the time, so I’m hoping to get a good start at mobile scrapbooking on the road.

I scrap both. My iPhone is practical for everyday use and fleeting moments (like the kids actually getting along!) or when I’m out and about and have an unexpected opportunity. But the quality just isn’t there all the time. My DSLR is great but bulky and I don’t always think to pull it out. But I always bring it on trips or to places where I think I’ll get a lot of pictures. Any way I can capture a picture to preserve a memory is good in my book!

I don’t carry my dslr, I have way too much stuff on me and I’m chasing around an active 2-year old too! I do carry my point & shoot and smartphone, but will usually reach for the smartphone because I can easily and quickly upload it to fb or use instagram.

Yes, Renee’s class is on my wish list of classes/workshops to take!

I totally use a mix. Currently on road trip and I’m using IPhone to keep family upto date on our travels via Facebook and instagram. This then is linked to my momentum app which is collecting my journaling along the way so I have it read to scrap. This gathers everything I post and I can also add my own journaling which I do each night the pictures from instagram are there to remind me. When I get back the trip album will be a mix of my pictures from iPhone and point and shot. Plus pictures my hubbie has taken on his fancy DSLR. Sometimes my iPhone picture is the only picture due to where we are. Like DSLR doesn’t go sand surfing while phone can. I don’t mind where the picture comes from and it doesn’t matter to me that I use a mix. The pages will have a mix of looks but that keeps them interesting. My son is also snapping away using his iTouch and his perspective is another on the whole thing which I hope to add as well. (pictures of Tshirts that amuse him and such)

Ever since summer has hit, I have been using primarily my iPhone and my waterproof P&S (we are at the water park ALL the time) for photos. When we go on vacation, I’ll still my DSLR, and I still love it, but I cherish the iPhone photos just as much. You have some great ones here! I love he creativity of Hipstamatic/Instagram and all the photo editing apps (btw, get the app Apps Gone Free if you don’t have it already because lots of photo editing apps go free for just a day or two!)…I am doing Project Life this year and scrapping 12×12 pages much less. I am printing at home for the first time EVER and loving how easy it makes Project Life. I use iPhone photos like crazy in that and I love how the photos across a 2-page spread don’t have to be connected and all tell their own little stories. I use PhotoSync on my Mac and on my iPhone and synch my iPhone photos wirelessly right to my computer.

btw, I have a Gravatar, but it doesn’t show up here…hmmmm….what do I use to get my profile pic on my comments for your blog?

I still take my DSLR when I know I want to get good pics, or I know that the lighting is going to be great and I’ll have time to mess with it. I love having my phone ready for fun shots wherever, though. When I first got my iPhone 4S, I used it a lot to take pictures everywhere, including at home, but I’ve gone back to using my dSLR more often at home. I just really like the quality and depth of field.

I use both types of photos in my Project Life layouts. That format definitely lends itself to the combination. I’ve only scrapped a few traditional layouts since I started Project Life, and I actually used all Instagram shots on two of those pages.

Did you know that you don’t have to take the pictures from within the Instagram app? I always pull them in from my camera roll, or even upload photos I’ve taken with my dSLR onto my phone just so I can manipulate them with Instagram. I use Dropbox for that.

I haven’t had good luck with iCloud syncing with my photostream. It’s supposed to “just work,” but it’s really random about actually pulling the pics off my phone. Sometimes it happens right away, sometimes it takes a while, and sometimes it never happens. I’ve even noticed it randomly leaving out a few pictures when it does upload. So… I have pretty much quit using iCloud, and rely on Dropbox to get my photos from my phone to my computer (or vice-versa).

I love the idea of mobile scrapbooks (like on an iPad), but my boys really like looking through the actual photobooks, so I don’t know if I would ever want to go completely digital. It’s the same way with books. My husband has a Kindle, and he likes it, but he still likes reading paper books too.
