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 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 attach 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.
Digitize The Old Stuff.
Your old analog media is degrading more every day. I'll digitize it all and add it to your digital library so all of your memories are protected and easy to find, no matter what decade they're from.
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 our 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 gifts like senior night blankets...there was no end. I've always been the sentimental type who loves taking photos and saving keepsakes, 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 keepsakes 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.
Create A Master Library
I start by gathering all your photos from your devices, old cloud accounts, CDs, memory cards, etc. into one consolidated collection, so all your photos are in one place.
Get Rid of Duplicates & Organize
I'll identify and remove the duplicate photos and begin to assemble a photo timeline while also adding other info to photos like captions, keywords, names, and places.
Scan Old Photos & Media
Those boxes of old photos collecting dust? I'll digitize them and add them to your Master Library so they can be easily viewed, shared, and enjoyed along with your other photos.
Systemize a Backup Process
I'll help you decide on a 3-2-1 backup system that will be easy for you to maintain so your Library is safely protected from fire, flood, internet glitches, and other disasters.
