THESE ARE THE WAYS WE HELP YOU:
Print Photo Organization: We can sort through your photos together, or you can give us a basic idea of your needs, and we will organize your pictures and create a photo storage system for you. We’ll use our professional opinion to help you choose which pictures to keep, and which to toss. After all, who needs six blurry pictures of the girls night out or Mom & Dad’s 45th Wedding Anniversary.
Digital Scrap/Memory Books/Gifts: Once we’ve organized your photos, we can then create custom, unique digital photo albums and unique gifts for you and your family/friends to enjoy for years to come.
Our services also include “special event” albums for weddings, graduations, birthdays, memory books for Alzheimer’s patients & families, and other memorable events. This can include not only photos, but other memorabilia like posters, invitations, and thank-you notes.
Digital Photo Basics: If you’re not up on the “digital age” and trust me you’re not the only one, the transition from traditional to digital photos can be a tough one. I can work with you to answer common digital print questions like:
How do I transfer digital photos from my camera to my computer?
How do I print or email photos from my computer?
How do I create a digital memory/scrap book?
How do I find, sort, and rename images?
How do I burn a photo CD?
How do I scan photos?
MEET THE TEAM
As a former Executive Assistant with over 25 years of experience, being organized just comes naturally to me. I was organizing my family, friends, colleagues and bosses long before I realized I could make a career from it.
Just over 15 years ago now, I decided to take a chance with my experience, skill and ability to organize and started my own organizing business.
In 2011, at a conference in San Diego, I met Cathi Nelson, the Founder of APPO, the Association of Personal Photo Organizers. It was love at first site and photo organizing quickly became my specialty because of my passion for photos that I picked up from my Dad and older brother. I love that you can tell a family history through photographs.
I thought I'd also share a few fun facts about me:
-
I'm a movie lover, tea-aholic, wife, mom to a grown daughter and a fur baby
-
I think looking after yourself is one of the most important things you can do for your sanity. I value a nail or hair appointment and a good movie as much as a business deadline.
-
I don't like to stress or freak out. This quote is one that I totally get: “Stress is not what happens to us. It is our response TO what happens. And the RESPONSE is something we can choose”.
-
I believe in the importance of enjoying what you do, giving back and having fun along the way.

MY STORY
Organizing our family photos and capturing the stories that go with them has become increasingly more important and meaningful to me over the past many years.
You see, my dad had Alzheimer’s. This disease affected more than just my dad, it affected our whole family. In the last stages of the disease, dad didn't speak at all except the odd word and didn't know me anymore. Sadly, I lost my dad in March of 2015 and I miss him everyday.
It’s nice to look back on photos from a time when he did talk to me and I'm really sad I didn't take enough time to really get to know his story better.
It is too late for me to get his story from him directly, but I'm not to late to help you with your family story.
