Organizing you photos should be an easy task, to make this process more simple keep in mind the following tips; keep your camera date and time setting updated, tag your photos with familiar names, separate special dates or activities, and inspect your photography meta-data to ensure accuracy from time to time.
To start your photo slide show think of the moment, what is that you want to say, to show, the art of explaining with images is not really that complicated. Organized your photos in chronological order remember to keep it simple, there is no need to confuse people going back and forth within the slide show. After organizing the order of events select a theme, make sure that people think of the moment exactly the way you want, an example if is a birthday include balloons as the theme.
Review your story, start the slide show adding elements that gives it contrast. Overlay photos and try to present impact within all the photos, add some words like a bubble with the word hello at the beginning of the slide show. Conclude with an invitation to see it again, people often feel the impulse to start the slide show over if the end is as happy as the beginning, the end of the story will remain in the memory of the viewers longer that any other part of the slide show.
