Go out in the world and make new memories.
I'll take care of your old ones.
I'll create your organized and searchable digital photo collection - so you can spend less time scrolling and more time making new memories.
You love to take photos -- but knowing what to do with them isn't your zone of genius.
If you're like most of us over 40 who didn't grow up with technology at our fingertips, your photo situation might look a little something like this:
- Your phone is bursting with screenshots, receipts, funny memes, and an embarrassing amount of photos of the dog.
- You have photos scattered across multiple cloud accounts.
- You have memories stuck on CDs and DVDs you can't access because computers don't even come with CD drives anymore.
- Your parents downsized and you're now the keeper of your childhood memories, trapped in dusty boxes of photo albums and VHS tapes in your basement.
- You want to enjoy your photos and videos -- make photo books and gifts, text them to family, watch old family movies easily -- but you have no idea where to start.
Sound familiar? Oh good, I'm so glad you found me.
Get All Your Memories Into One Place.
Instead of multiple accounts and wondering what's on old memory cards, everything will be in one easy-to-access cloud-based app. (Typically iCloud or Forever™ are the best options, but I'll help you decide what works best).
Sort It By Date and Make It All Searchable.
Forget the little yellow folders on your computer or making a million albums for all of the different categories you want to sort photos into. Those methods make it hard to find what you need and lead to a different kind of mess. Instead, I add that information directly into the metadata of your most important photos. That makes your photos searchable instead of scrollable -- even in a collection of 100,000+ photos, you'll be able to pull up your favorites by typing a keyword or two. (Keywords and searchability are included in Premium and VIP packages.)
Digitize The Old Stuff.
Your old prints, slides, and home movies are fading a little more every day. I partner with Forever™ for professional digitization, and you've got two options: pack and ship a Forever box yourself, or send everything to me and I'll handle it all. Either way, your digitized memories can join your organized library.
Back That Ish Up.
I die a little inside every time I hear about a family losing their irreplaceable digital memories in ways that could have been prevented with a backup system. I can't defend you against hackers, a phone dropped in the lake, or big tech overlords. But I can give you an offline backup of your collection and teach you how to maintain it.
Mel Sullivan
I'm a Gen X mom in Northcentral Wisconsin with two adult kids. A few years ago, I was right where you are - tons of photos and no clue where to find what I needed.
My kids graduated high school two years apart, and the level of stress I felt trying to find the photos and videos I wanted for the senior year celebrations was crazy. Photo boards for the grad party, senior banquet slide shows, photo books, keepsakes and gifts like senior night blankets...there was no end. I've always been the sentimental type who loves taking photos and saving moments, and I pride myself on being organized, but I was fully unprepared.
I made it through my daughter's Class of 2021 graduation season with some mediocre party decorations and photo boards and vowed to do better. But when my son graduated in the Class of 2023, I still had done nothing to prepare. As graduation day loomed, I started learning everything I could about organizing digital photos and that's when I first learned that "photo organizer" was an actual career.
My son's graduation party wasn't perfect either, but I had made progress and fell in love with a whole new career. I joined The Photo Managers (a professional organization for photo organizers) and participated in as many courses and trainings as I could fit in my calendar to learn from the experts.
Now I do for other families what I wish someone had done for me.
Gather Everything Into One Place
I pull your photos and videos from every source you send me (cloud accounts, old phones, hard drives, thumb drives, CDs, etc.) into one master library. No more wondering what's hiding on that memory card in your junk drawer.
Clear Out the Clutter
I set aside exact duplicates and junk (screenshots, receipts, recipes, and those 47 photos of parking spots) in a separate folder for your final review. Your real memories stay. I never delete "almost the same" shots, because which picture of your kids is the keeper is your call, not mine.
Put It All In Order
I sort your entire library by year and month, fixing dates in the photo metadata when needed so everything lands where it belongs. With Premium and VIP, I also create albums for your big moments (vacations, holidays, graduations) and add keywords, so you can search, not scroll.
Protect It and Hand It Over
Your finished library lives in the cloud app you choose, plus an offline backup on an external hard drive that's yours to keep. We wrap up with a delivery call where I walk you through everything, so you actually know how to find and enjoy your photos.
