I recently had the awful experience of completely wiping my entire iphoto library. It happened so quickly and easily and before I knew it all of the precious photos of my own children were gone.
I am vigilant about backing up client images to external hardrives, but my iphoto library had been untouched for years and sadly not backed up.
After several teary frantic phone calls and text messages to friends who really ‘got’ why I was so devastated one of Chris’ mates who works with iMacs came around. He ran data recovery on my computer and retrieved the majority of my iphoto library over the next few days. Love you Brett!!!
I have slowly started to go through the images and here are a few favourites. Can’t believe I was so close to not having these. Back up your images everyone and even better print them! I am going to get albums made up for each of the kids with these happy snaps. Sure they weren’t taken on the ‘big’ camera, they won’t win any awards, but they are my children, our memories and in 20 years time I am sure my kids won’t care what f-stop was used or if they are in focus!

Omg! These photos are so beautiful can’t believe they were all so little!!
I know Ash!! It was like Christmas seeing them all again x
oh my goodness Leanne…my heart stopped a beat and then some. I lost all video of my first born’s 5 weeks of life and I understand how incredibly painful it is to lose such precious moments, especially of your own children when you capture so many for others. thank you for the reminder – I am so glad most of yours are recovered and these above are just priceless. What amazing gorgeous children you have and such milestones in your family!
Oh Nic!! How horrible to lose that video footage ): x
