Why You Need a Photo Organizer

Have you ever considered hiring a photo organizer? You know, someone who can take that jumble of print pictures in the hall closet and make sense of it all.

What about someone to help you figure out how to combine all of your digital photos into one place instead of having them scattered across various old hard drives, SD cards, and online photo storage sites?

There’s a group of professionals who love tackling these challenges, and we’re called photo organizers.

We believe you may need to hire a professional photo organizer, and here are five reasons why.

Reason 1: You Already Have a Job

Between working 40-60 hours a week or running after three kids, your days are packed. The weekends don’t offer much relief as you juggle chores and errands. Even though organizing and preserving your family’s photos should be a priority, it often gets pushed to the bottom of the list.

Guess what? Working with your photos IS our job, and we love it.

Reason 2: Technology Can Be Overwhelming

Do you feel intimidated by all the digital tools available for organizing photos? With so many options and the constant evolution of technology, it’s easy to feel lost.

If you’re only comfortable with basic computer tasks—like checking emails or browsing Facebook—hiring a photo organizer who understands the ins and outs of digital photo management might be your best move. And if we don’t have the answer to a tricky tech issue, we have a network of experts to consult and top-notch resources at our fingertips.

Reason 3: You Are Overwhelmed

Organizing boxes, bins, and albums full of pictures can be daunting. Many people look at their chaotic collection and instantly freeze, thinking, “There’s no way I can tackle this.”

We’ve had clients tell us how anxious they become when just thinking about their disorganized photos. But the funny thing is that we look at the “mess” and see a fun challenge. That’s why hiring a professional photo organizer can be a great idea – we see things a little differently.

Reason 4: You Are Too Sentimental

You’ve tried to organize your photos, but every time you start, you get sidetracked by nostalgia. You begin reminiscing and, before you know it, hours have passed.

While a photo organizer loves to help you tell your family’s story, we treat your precious family photos and memories objectively. We can quickly move through your photos and leave the trip down memory lane to you.

Reason 5: Your Photos Are At Risk NOW

This is the most important reason of all. What happens to your print pictures if your house burns down or the water heater bursts? What happens to your digital photos if your computer (which isn’t backed up) gets stolen or your iPhone goes swimming in the pool?

The longer you wait to organize and preserve your photos, the more at risk they become. Most of your photos are irreplaceable. Don’t wait until it’s too late to protect them.

What Kind of Services Does a Photo Organizer Offer?

Every photo organizer has her strengths and specialties, but we all love a challenge. Here are just a few things that a professional photo organizer (like us) can help you with:

• Sort and organize your lifetime of print pictures so you can find that special photo of your grandparents.
• Combine digital photos from various sources (computers, phones, online storage, SD cards, and other old media like CDs, floppy disks) so it’s all in one place and backed up.
• Scan print pictures, negatives, and slides to bring them back into your life again.
• Teach you how to use your photo organizing/storage software (or your computer) better so you can manage your photos.
• Make recommendations for photo-safe products and software because the market is constantly changing.
• Create a photo storage system that you can use for years to come.
• Photograph memorabilia and kids’ artwork so you can finally toss that macaroni clown your child made in 2009.
• Maintain your digital photo library on a regular basis so you can do the fun things in your life instead.
• Digitize old videotapes and film so you can hear your kids’ baby voices again. And so much more. If you can think of it, we can make it happen.
