Photo Peace Project Plan

Finally, a clear roadmap to end your photo chaos!

Stop staring at boxes of photos, folders of digital files wondering where to even begin. Get a customized, step-by-step plan designed specifically for YOUR unique photo situation. 

Here’s How it Works:

I’ll provide a detailed checklist, prior to our appointment, to collect all your photos, albums, drives, old cameras into one place for me to inventory and create a comprehensive assessment – from shoeboxes in the basement to 47,000 photos on your phone.  I’ll review everything. 

Then, I’ll create your Personalized Photo Peace Project Plan – a detailed roadmap that takes you from photo chaos to PHOTO PEACE – one manageable step at a time.

  • βœ“ Complete Collection Assessment – a thorough review of your entire photo situation (physical and digital)

    βœ“ Prioritized Action Steps – know exactly what to tackle first, second, third and so on (no more analysis paralysis!)

    βœ“ Recommendations for each item – from your dad’s old slides, your Creative Memory albums, VHS tapes, and loose photos.

    βœ“ Tech Recommendations – solutions based on your comfort level and amount of time you want to spend

    βœ“ Preservation Priorities – Which items need immediate attention and which can wait

    βœ“ Quick-Win First Project – start with an easy victory to build momentum

    βœ“ Plan to do yourself or have us do it for you! 

    • You have photos scattered across multiple devices, platforms, and storage boxes

    • You’ve tried starting this project multiple times but got overwhelmed

    • You want to preserve family memories but don’t know where to begin

    • You need someone to tell you exactly what to do (in what order!)

    • You’re ready to stop talking about organizing photos β€œsomeday” and actually do it

Stop letting another year pass with your photos in chaos. Your family’s visual legacy deserves better than boxes in the basement and files called β€œIMG_3847.”

Limited spots available each month to ensure personalized attention for every client. Travel within 25 miles included; additional travel fees may apply.
