Hello Kendra,
It depends on how pictures were taken. Do you have a regular camera or a digital? If you only have regular camera than the way you're doing it to me sounds like the only way but with digital you upload pics right away to your computer and then you can email or upload to the web.
My pictures on my daughters website are some profesional pics that I had taken that I purchased on CD to have copyright to upload to computer and others were taken at home with my digital camera.Hope this helps
Melissa
