From “No Way!” to “Happy Day!

All these photos! these boxes! these loose stacks! And what about the albums, the photos on my wall, on my phone and computer? Doesn’t the thought of all your images and the lack of order make you cringe? It’s ok, you are not alone and you don’t have to undertake this enormous task all by yourself! Like other challenges, you can take it one step at a time as a DYI project and/or make a plan and reach out to the Association of Personal Photo Organizers. Yes! There is help in a relatively new profession that can help you get you from “There’s No Way!” to “Oh Happy Day!”. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a sense of peace knowing where your photos are, that they are safe, that you can easily find specific images and be able to gift them to people you love?

APPO is an organization of professionals committed to assisting people to rein in their photos, compile them into a sorted collection that is brought into homes as touchable, visual treasures for all to enjoy and talk about!

Personal Photo Organizers like myself, are waiting to help you tell your story. We can show you, help you or do it for you. We understand the satisfaction of going through and reliving your past through pictures. We wouldn’t want to take that from you so we can serve as consultants and give you a step by step plan. We can also work beside you to gather, sort, scan, label, backup, and make display items from your photos. Or we can take your images to our place of business and do all of the above for you!

There is a deep, rich well of information that the APPO community shares.  Its members are committed to using the best tools, practices, and procedures known to the photographic industry. We take pride in following high standards and a strong code of ethics because we understand the importance of trust when your most valued possessions are in our hands.
