Owner, Elegant Photo Solutions, LLC

Certified Legacy Preservation Specialist

FOREVER Executive Ambassador

​​

I have been in the photo preservation business since 2008 when I joined Creative

Memories as a Creative Memories Advisor specializing in traditional scrapbooking.

In 2015, I joined FOREVER, Inc. as a FOREVER Ambassador and also became

a Certified Professional Photo Organizer through The Photo Managers to help family's

preserve their memories for generations to come either in a digital or a traditional format.

In 2020, I created Elegant Photo Solutions, LLC.  and in 2023, I became a

Certified Privacy Advocate through the Photo Managers.  I am constantly taking 

new training in order to gain the skills and knowledge that I need to help my clients on this journey.

​

My passion for preserving the family story through photographs started when I was in the 4th grade. I had a homework assignment that was to write down my family lineage for two generations on both sides of the family. Not only did this start my passion but it also started my mother and grandmother on their search for our family history. 40+ years have gone by and my mother and I have collected many family photos and a large family history going back as far as the 1400’s in England and Scotland.

​

​My primary goals are:

• Helping families downsizing or inheriting their parents/grandparents photos and documents,

• Help people get their digital photo chaos off of long term paid online account into a one-time payment permanent online storage account,

• Help business and organizations preserve their historical documents preserved for prosperity.

 

By getting this chaos under control and preserved for future generations ensures that their family's memories are shareable and transferable from one generation to the next.  It is my belief that a family's photos tell the story of their family and life history.  That, along with any family written or oral history needs to be preserved as the legacy for the future. I can do this in-person or long distance. 

​

By working with my client's one-on-one to find solutions for their specific needs and budget, I can create a plan that is both family and budget friendly.  I can develop a plan to do the work for you, along-side you, or set up a plan that you can work with to preserve those memories on your own.

​

As a professional photo organizer, I now can preserve my family’s history for generations to come and also help my clients preserve their photos, documents, videos and more by showing them how to organize and store their content in a safe manner that will last generations into the future. 

 

As a Certified Privacy Advocate, I can help you choose settings that will help secure your online presence by recommending settings for your Social Media, online banking, online purchasing accounts and more that will hopefully help keep you more secure within a digital space.  This is no guarantee that the services I provide will keep your accounts completely safe, but the goal is to inform you on online safety and security best practices.   

​

As a Certified Legacy Preservation Specialist, I can help you create that special legacy collection of your loved ones to preserve their memory.  This can be by organizing and curating their photo collection or creating a special legacy photo album that will last for generations.

​

​Life can be busy and hectic, let me show you how you can organize your personal and business documents so that they are accessible from anywhere and for generations!​
