PHOTO & MEMORY ORGANIZING SERVICES

When I was 6 years old, my home was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. For this reason, I have very few photos of myself in my younger years and I am that much more appreciative of the photo memories I do have from that time. I am sentimental, I love to be creative with my memories and am so excited to bring that same level of care and service to my clients. 

As I organize client homes, I am always careful with photos, making sure they’re stacked and stored correctly, to avoid damage or loss. I tell them, these are the most precious assets they own. They tell your story, they remind you of who you were at different times in your life, they are the last glimpses of lost loved ones. It is so special. I don’t mind the real-estate they take up in homes, but they’re not intended to sit forever in bins forever (especially without proper storage conditions). 

On the flip side, we have quite the opposite problem with my kids. We have too many options, which will only become increasingly more unruly over time. Not to mention all those wonderful creations they bring home daily.
