The holidays are over, and if you’re anything like me you’ve probably got dozens, if not hundreds, of digital photos stored on your computer right now. If you’re also like me, you probably worry from time to time about losing them. Backing them up to CDs can be time consuming and tedious with much of the software I’ve tried.
So I was thrilled when Picture Keeper sent me their little gadget to try. It’s a fantastically simple way to safeguard irreplaceable digital photos. You just plug the little USB device into your computer, and it does all the work for you. It finds all of the pictures stored on your computer and saves them safely to the device. The next time you plug it in, it only pulls in new photos so you never had to worry about duplicates! You can even schedule back up reminders on their site, which this busy mom definitely needs.
The Picture Keeper comes in two sizes, 4GB which holds 4,000 pictures and 8GB which holds 8,000 pictures. If you’re not sure which size you would need to store your photos, check out their tutorial.
Through January Picture Keeper is offering readers $15 off with the code DealForMoms. This makes the 4GB Picture Keeper only $25! I think that’s a price well worth the peace of mind that comes from knowing my photos are secure outside of my computer (assuming one of the kiddos doesn’t run off with the device, LOL).
Better yet, Picture Keeper has graciously given me an 8GB Picture Keeper to give away to one lucky Deal Seeking Mom Reader. I love it when companies let me share these fabulous products with you all!

Oh how I would love to win this. My father recently died and I am in the process of scanning pictures and making dvd’s for the rest of the family. We have a picture of my dad in his military uniform and several others that have brought back a lot of memories. Unfortunately, my dad had alzheimers and put some of his pictures in the attic. We have done our best to restore and edit.
Thanks for a chance to win and have a great day.

Any picture of my daughter as an infant. Sometimes I can barely recognize her in those photos, but it would be impossible to recreate them and I would be devestated.

I don’t know if I could pick just one picture I’d be devestated to lose. I take my camera everywhere and have lost pictures before. I cried for a few days bacause of some of the memories I had lost.

My favorite photo is actually one of my dog playing with a corn cob – it is ridiculous how cute it is, and now she won’t play with them anymore so I had better not lose this photo!

I would definitely save the pictures from my daughter’s 5th BD celebration at Disney World. She was turning 5 and my stepson was turning 13. They look like two different people now (2.5 years later) We caught them at that magic moment (no pun intended) where she was big enough to do things at the park and he was young enough to still want to hang out with us all!

I’m a picturaholic, so I don’t know if I could pick a few favorite photos of mine. I definitely would be sad if I lost the pictures from either of my sons’ first birthday parties. You just can’t replicate the pictures of their first cakes and the messes that they made.

I have a lot of photos of my boy (2) when he was a baby, and my girl (6) from the time she was two. I’d be so upset if I lost them. Especially the ones of the first time my daughter held her baby brother!

I love the idea of keeping photos safe and would love to have one of these. I would back up photos of my son, we took over 1500 pictures in his first year of life, it is hard to delete even the photos that didn’t turn out so well because they are still precious memories. There is nothing I love more than looking at those photos and being reminded of those memories of the sweet baby he was (he is 14 months now). I also subscribe to your site via bloglines, love the information you provide. Thank you!
Kim
Without a doubt, I’d save those first photos from when both of my girls were born. As they get bigger, I treasure those newborn images more and more. Thanks for the great contest!
