The Shoebox Sort & Scan
From Dusty Boxes to a Cherished Digital Library
You have them. The boxes tucked away in a closet, the photo albums with fading pages, the carousels of slides you no longer have a projector for. These are not just pieces of paper; they are your family’s history. But the thought of tackling that jumbled collection can be overwhelming. I specialize in transforming these precious, vulnerable collections into an organized, secure, and easily shareable digital library that your family can enjoy for generations.

Professional Scanning: Each photo, slide, and piece of memorabilia is individually scanned using a professional-grade scanner to capture a high-resolution digital image suitable for archiving and making beautiful new prints.

The Digital Chaos Consolidation
Finally, All Your Digital Photos in One Place
Your digital photos are everywhere. Some are on your phone, others are on an old laptop, your tablet, a few different cloud accounts, and maybe even your spouse's computer. The result is digital chaos—it's impossible to find the picture you want, you have countless duplicates, and you worry that you might lose precious memories if a device fails.
My Digital Chaos Consolidation service is the solution. I personally untangle this digital knot for you, bringing all of your scattered photos together into one single, organized, and secure library that you control.
This Service is For You If...
You can never find the specific photo you’re looking for.
You feel overwhelmed by technology and the sheer number of digital files.
You’re tired of seeing "Storage Full" warnings on your phone or computer.
You want one central, organized hub for all your family's digital memories.
You're worried about losing photos and want to create a safe, consolidated backup.
My Process: From Chaos to Calm
My process is designed to be secure and straightforward, giving you complete peace of mind.
Discovery & Tech Inventory: During our initial Discovery Assessment, we'll map out all the places your photos are stored—phones, computers, external drives, and cloud services like Google Photos, iCloud, or Dropbox.
Secure Gathering: I securely gather all your digital photo files into a single, protected location on my system for organizing.
Declutter & Organize: This is where the magic happens. I meticulously scan for and remove exact duplicate photos, which instantly declutters your collection. Then, I organize your photos into a simple, chronological folder structure (e.g., Year > Month), making it intuitive to browse.
Your Central Hub: I deliver your newly organized, consolidated library to you on a new external hard drive. This becomes your central photo hub—safe, complete, and entirely under your control.
Pricing
My goal is to provide a comprehensive, "done for you" service that relieves your digital anxiety.
The Digital Declutter Package: Starting at $600
Includes the consolidation of up to 10,000 photos from up to 3 devices/accounts (e.g., one phone, one computer, one cloud service).
Duplicate photo removal.
Creation of a chronological folder structure.
Delivery on a new external hard drive (cost of drive not included).
Because every digital collection is different, a final, detailed quote will be provided after your Discovery & Action Plan Assessment.
Ready to End the Digital Overwhelm?
No matter how many phones, computers, or cloud accounts your digital photos are scattered across, the path to a single, secure, and searchable library starts with a simple conversation.
The best next step is to schedule a complimentary 15-minute introductory call. We can discuss the scope of your digital collection, I can answer any initial questions you may have, and we can see if we're the right fit for each other. There is no pressure and no commitment.
Digital Heirloom Collection
More Than an Object. It's a Story.
That pocket watch from your grandfather. The wedding china you inherited. The first drawing your child ever made. Your home is filled with objects that hold immense value, but their true worth lies in the stories they carry. What happens to those stories when you're no longer there to tell them?
This service ensures those histories are never lost. Using an innovative online platform, I help you create a private, beautiful, and permanent digital showcase of your family's treasured heirlooms. Think of it as a personal museum, where each object is lovingly documented with its photo, its history, and its voice—your voice.
This Service is For You If...
You are downsizing or managing an estate and want to preserve the stories of items you can't keep.
You want to share the full history of your most cherished belongings with children and grandchildren, no matter where they live.
You believe the story behind an object is just as important as the object itself.
You are looking for a unique and deeply meaningful way to document your legacy.
My Process: The Digital Showcase Process
I personally guide you through every step of creating your digital heirloom collection, ensuring the process is both meaningful and effortless for you.
Guided Selection: We begin by identifying the key items in your home whose stories you want to preserve for future generations.
Clear, Well Lit Photography: I take high-quality, well-lit photographs of each object, capturing the details that make it unique.
Story-Catching Interview: This is where the magic happens. Through a guided, one-on-one interview, I'll help you recall and record the history, memories, and emotional significance of each item.
Showcase Creation: I then combine the professional photos with your captured stories on a secure online platform, creating a detailed and moving entry for each heirloom that you can access and share privately.

Honoring a Legacy
In the midst of loss, sorting through a lifetime of photos can feel like an impossible, emotional task. It doesn't have to be a journey you take alone. I offer a gentle, understanding space to walk alongside you, helping you find the images that truly celebrate the life and spirit of your loved one.

My Process: A Gentle and Collaborative Approach
A Quiet Conversation: We begin with a gentle conversation, at your pace, about your loved one and what you envision for their tribute.
Collaborative Selection: Together, we can look through photos. You can share stories and memories while I help identify the images that best capture their unique personality and life journey.
Professional Creation: Once we have the photos, I handle all the technical work—high-quality scanning, minor touch-ups, and thoughtfully designing the final tribute, whether it's a tasteful slideshow set to music or a beautifully bound memorial album.
The Final Tribute: I will provide you with the finished tribute, ready to be shared, offering a source of comfort and a beautiful focal point for honoring their memory.
The Investment

“Memory Lane” Curation
For families navigating the journey of dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other cognitive challenges, photos can be a powerful bridge to moments of connection. This service is born from my 33 years of professional experience as a speech-language pathologist. I have a deep, clinical understanding of how to use visual aids to access memory and emotion, and I apply that expertise to create beautiful, effective tools that help you connect with your loved one.

You are looking for new ways to communicate and share positive moments with them.
You want to provide them with a comforting, familiar, and engaging activity.
You believe in the power of personal photos to spark memories and conversation.
You are seeking a resource created by a professional with direct experience in memory care and communication strategies.
My Process: A Blend of Curation and Communication Science
A Collaborative Consultation: We begin with a consultation where I listen as you share stories about your loved one. We'll discuss which faces, places, and life events are most likely to be meaningful and accessible to them.
Evidence-Based Curation: Drawing on my background as a speech-language pathologist, I help you select high-impact photos. We'll choose images that are clear, simple, and emotionally resonant to create the most effective tool.
Custom Product Design: I design a custom, simplified photo product—often a durable, easy-to-handle board book or laminated photo cards—with large images and clear, simple text labels.
Guidance for Use: Along with the final product, I provide you with gentle strategies on how to use it as a tool to invite conversation and create positive, shared moments with your loved one.

The Audio Legacy Collection
A photograph captures a moment, but a voice captures a soul. Think of the sound of your mother's laughter, the warmth in your grandfather's greeting, the specific way a loved one tells a story. These are the audio heirlooms that can transport us back in time like nothing else.
This collection of services is dedicated to preserving these priceless sounds. Using modern technology and a sensitive, guided approach, I help you capture the voices of your loved ones, transforming them into unique and lasting keepsakes that your family will cherish forever.
This Service is For You If...
You are planning a milestone birthday, anniversary, or reunion and want a unique way for guests to share memories.
You have a treasured voicemail saved on your phone and you're terrified of losing it.
You want a deeply personal and modern gift for a family member.
You wish to create a meaningful audio tribute for a memorial or celebration of life.
You believe that hearing a person's voice is just as important as seeing their picture.
My Audio Legacy Offerings
This service can take many forms, each tailored to capture sound in a unique way.
The Audio Guestbook for Events
A charming and interactive way to collect memories at any gathering. I provide a vintage-style telephone that acts as an "audio guestbook." Guests simply pick up the receiver and leave a story, a wish, or a memory instead of writing in a book.
What's Included: Rental of the audio guestbook phone for your event, a custom recorded welcome greeting, professional editing of all collected messages to enhance sound quality, and delivery of the final audio files on a custom USB drive.
Perfect For: Milestone Birthdays, Anniversaries, Weddings, Graduations, and Celebrations of Life.
Custom Soundwave Art
Transform a meaningful sound into a stunning piece of visual art. I can take any audio clip—a snippet of a recorded interview, a baby's heartbeat, a beloved voicemail, or even a wedding vow—and turn its unique soundwave into a beautiful piece of art for your wall. It's a modern, minimalist way to honor a voice you love.
The Process: I help you select the perfect audio clip, design the soundwave, and coordinate the printing on high-quality materials like canvas, wood, or fine art paper.
The Investment
Each audio project is unique, from capturing voices at a live event to designing a personal piece of art. The right approach for you will be discussed and quoted following your Discovery & Action Plan Assessment.
