Digital Photo Organizing
Getting your photos organized only needs to happen once. When I am done with your project you will have one consolidated photo collection that is searchable, free of duplicates, and backed up. Now that is peace of mind.
Photo Scanning
Curate and digitize your printed photo collection to ensure it is accessible and preserves your family history. Downsize and organize boxes of photos, old albums and frames and safely archive your collection for generations to come.
Keepsakes
Eliminate overflowing boxes of scattered memories. I will digitize the most precious artwork, schoolwork, and memorabilia in a high quality that is easy to reference and enjoy. Online galleries and photo book creation is available.

What to Expect:
Start Here
Schedule a consult or request a quote and we'll discuss your current photo situation and goals.
Prep
This is your hardest part! Before our first meeting create a list of your photo inventory, collect all your digital and physical photo sources in one place, and begin mapping out a family timeline. I will help guide you through this.
We'll Meet
In-person or over zoom, we'll consolidate your photos. If they are all digital we'll bring them to an organizing drive. If they are physical, we'll place them in weather-proof boxes and I will bring them to my home. This meeting generally takes 2-3 hours.
The Magic Happens
I will organize your photos for you, with check-ins and updates periodically. Most projects take 4-6 weeks.
Special Delivery!
Once your project is complete I will deliver all drives, photos, etc. back to you as well as a consolidated photo collection, curated for you, and ready for you to enjoy.
Access your memories in seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is a project that is usually not a priority and is often put on the back burner unless there is a major life event that triggers the project.
It is often overwhelming and time-consuming to sort through our photos on our own. We can easily get distracted going down memory lane, then before we know it hours have passed and we’ve made minimal progress.
A professional photo organizer can help create a system that works for you and will save you time and stress in the long run. Additionally, they can help to preserve your photos and ensure that they are stored in a way that will protect them for years to come.
I never delete photos. For digital organizing, I place your photos in an ‘outtakes’ folder for you to review and have the option of deleting yourself. For physical photo organizing, I place the outtakes in a designated box, again for you to review and decide to discard if you so please.
Yes! I offer monthly, quarterly and yearly maintenance plans based on your needs.
Every photo organizing project is different. The overall cost is dependent on number of photos, number of sources, your goals, and level of organization desired. Expect to invest $1,000+ for most projects, knowing that it will be done efficiently, safely, with care, and only needs to happen once. Request a quote.
