Why you need a Photo Manager

Do any of these reasons resonate with you?

1. You don't know where to start organizing your digital and print photos.

2. You aren't comfortable with technology or do not want to buy more equipment. Maybe the technology you need seems so old it won't work anymore.

3. You don't have time. Organizing your photos is not something that will be first on most people's "to-do" list. There are many other things that need to be taken care of first, so the photos have to wait.

4. You've started, but feel like you've gotten in over your head. Who knew you had THIS MANY PHOTOS?

5. You've already lost some photos and you don't want to risk losing more. This is the worst. Did you know that digital photos are more at risk than prints? If you don't have a good backup system, you can lose photos with a simple phone upgrade. Print photos get lost during moves, damaged in flooded basements or misplaced after years in storage.

6. You've inherited photos that you don't know how to manage. You don't want to get rid of them, but it's hard to know what to keep.

7. You're out of phone storage, so you delete. Making decisions about your photo collection just to save a few MB of storage.

8. You're moving. Whether you're downsizing or moving to a bigger place, it would be so nice if everything you want had the perfect place in your new home

9. You have photos that are damaged and need some TLC. Should you throw them away? Are they worth saving? Can they even be saved?

10. You're too sentimental about your photos and get sidetracked with the memories. This is hard and can make a simple task of sorting take 3 times as long as you stop and reminisce about every photos.

Photo management is a service for everyone and every stage of life.

Sharing family stories with organized photos and videos.

This morning, I wanted to send my dad a little video for Father's Day. He's not one for gifts or attention, so I like to send him photos and videos these days.

We have about 2 hours of home movies from the first 2 year of my life. 8mm film that was converted to VHS in the 90's, then converted again to DVD after 2000. And now it has made its way to digital. We can play with and edit them on our phones then watch them anywhere. It's wonderful.

Who would have dreamed when these home movies were made that this would be the case? When I have an idea in mind for a story I'd like to share with my family, I can clip together a few minutes of footage on my phone and send it in a text.

No failing VCR or DVD players to plug in and hope that it works. Or, if your family videos start in the 1970's and earlier, no sheet to hang or projector to lug out of the closet.

This is your invitation. When you come across those boxes of old movies, please don't shove them back in the closet. Send them to me and we will rediscover some lost moments of your family history. Then share with those who would love to remember along with you.

If you want to see the little video I shared with my dad, it's on Facebook. It's too sweet not to share with everyone.
