Photo Organizing, Scanning, and Video Conversion in Hampton Roads and Richmond
HAMPTON ROADS | RICHMOND | NATIONWIDE
Most families don't put off their photos because they don't care. They put them off because the job feels too big to start alone.
I'm Andi Willis, a Certified Professional Photo Organizer who has been organizing family photos professionally since 2010. I grew up in Hampton Roads and went to Franklin High School and the College of William and Mary. After moving away for many years, I came back home to Smithfield in 2024.
Today, I offer photo organizing in Hampton Roads and the Richmond area, helping families turn boxes of prints, albums, slides, and home movies into an organized, digitized collection that is safely stored and easy to share.
Three ways to work with me locally
Your photos don't have to travel far, and you don't have to sort them first.
HOME BASE
Smithfield, Isle of Wight County, and Franklin
Smithfield, VA, is the home base for photo organizing with Good Life Photo Solutions, so families here and in nearby Franklin and Southampton County have the easiest access to every option above. Being close also means I can see a collection in person before we decide on a plan.
"Thank you for converting our 50-year-old wedding photos to digital format. We are so happy to be able to share them with our family and friends and to know they will no longer fade and deteriorate."

HAMPTON ROADS
Suffolk, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Newport News, Hampton, and Williamsburg
From Norfolk and Virginia Beach to Suffolk and Williamsburg, families come to us for:
- Print Photo Organizing for closets of albums and loose prints that need sorting before anything is scanned
- Photo and Slide Scanning for prints, albums, and slides, scanned and returned in the order important to you
- Digital Photo Organizing for photos scattered across phones, computers, and cloud accounts, brought together in one organized library
- Video Conversion for VHS, VHS-C, Video8, Hi8, MiniDV, and film reels, delivered as MP4 files
Scanning and converting are only part of the job. Many families also have years of photos on phones, computers, and cloud accounts, and those need organizing, too. We manage the whole project, from prints and tapes to digital files, so everything ends up in one organized, backed-up library.
"Awesome experience for our project. Andi digitized 10 photo albums totaling 803 pages. The quality of the photos is excellent. The files were in chronological order and sequenced precisely the way we wanted them. She was very professional and provided timely feedback and communication. Nice job, Andi; thanks for preserving our family memories."

CENTRAL VIRGINIA
Richmond and Petersburg
Families in Richmond, VA, and Petersburg can work with a photo organizer in person. We travel to homes for in-home sessions and pickup and return. When a collection is spread across several relatives, I can help bring those pieces together into an organized archive.
"Andi organized 40 years of family memories so they could be shared between 3 siblings. Pictures were important to my mom so kept her legacy going for us. There is no way we could have gotten 6,000 pictures organized."

Large family and estate collections
When a collection fills a room, or a whole house, it starts with a paid Estate Assessment. I collect the materials, inventory them, note formats and condition, and deliver a written preservation plan and estimate. Larger projects become a Family Legacy Collection, preserving prints, albums, documents, and video for every branch of the family.

Not in Virginia? We work with families nationwide.
Every service is also available by mail-in or remotely, and Personal Photo Coaching happens online.
"Andi saved me weeks of manual labor combining photo libraries from different machines and sites (Facebook) while organizing and de-duplicating all the photos. What took her 10 hours would have taken me 80+ hours. After years of a photo library mess, I finally have all my photos in one place, chronologically, so I can quickly find and share memories!"
