Are your originals actually the original files? Some people have strong opinions about data leakage via EXIF metadata, specifically location and sometimes date/time. Do you strip that information out during upload/resizing?

Overall, it looks great. My family would definitely use it, for similar reasons to yours. Nice work!

The original photos are processed for more efficient storage, so I believe that all EXIF data is stripped out, but I'll have to check to make sure.
