KIND WORDS FROM CLIENTS

    Maria

    “As someone who is constantly asked to organize photos for others (and always refers that business to professional photo organizers, of which there are a few in town), I feel like only one person can organize your photos and it’s you.”

  • A woman with light skin, shoulder-length blonde hair, green eyes, wearing a blue collared shirt and small hoop earrings, standing against a brick wall.

    Jude

    “The organization, presentation, and logic of the class is impeccable.”

Technical expertise required?


Nope! I, too, am not an I.T. specialist.
Far from it.
That means…
If I can do this, anyone can do this.

Once I cracked the code on how to organize digital media,
I created a class I wish I could have taken myself.

It is structured with simple, short, step-by-step instructions…
(because who has time for more than that!?)

I guide you through the process with video lessons. I offer accompanying handouts, where applicable.

I used years of teaching experience to create an online class to help others who, like me, want to preserve memories.

My path to digital organization:

A pregnant woman stands on the stage of TEDx Indianapolis, giving a TEDx Talk.

I tackled the stuff…

In my TedX Talk, I shared my journey to a simpler life with less clutter, giving me more time to focus on my passions and my people.

A woman and man standing in a cluttered room filled with miscellaneous objects. The woman is speaking, and the man is smiling.

… but not my digital photos…

The photos were everywhere. Saved in a gazillion different clouds and hard drives. I have a Mac, my husband has a PC. A few years ago, he switched from an iPhone to an Android. Then there were the fancy Canon camera photos, professional family photos, the shared albums, etc. Once, I discovered I hadn't been backing up my iPhone for 2.5 years...

Our digital photography was utterly unmanageable. It was my kryptonite. It was my version of Monica Geller's Closet.

Maura Malloy proudly holds a stack of albums like a server's tray.

… until finally, I treated the photos like the stuff.

I organized, decluttered and systematized the digital photography & videos once and for all! Then I built off those systems to create similar ones in making annual albums — simple, stylish albums (that ALSO included all our fave photos) that tell the story of my family's life.

  • Maria

    “I really like that the lessons are broken down in short segments so I can pick at them. I was already a OneDrive devotee and I have learned new tricks and pointers. The master folder has been life-changing!”
