1
You send your photos

Upload your photos to a shared Google Drive folder I create for you. Drop in everything — messy is fine.

2
I sort and clean

I use professional tools to sort by date, remove duplicates, and rename files consistently. Then I do a full manual review.

3
You get a clean library

Your organized folder lands back in your Google Drive within 5–7 business days, with a summary of what was done.

Optional: I keep a backup

Add the backup service and I store a secure copy of your final organized library — your personal photo insurance policy.

Turn your organized photos into something beautiful

Once your library is clean and sorted by year, making a photo book is suddenly effortless. Here are the services I personally recommend.

Shutterfly
Photo Books & Prints

The most popular photo book platform for a reason — huge variety of styles, quality printing, and frequent discounts. A great place to turn a single year's worth of photos into a book.

Mixbook
Custom Photo Books

Beautiful, fully customizable photo books with an easy drag-and-drop editor. Excellent for making a "Year in Review" book once your photos are organized by year and month.

Artifact Uprising

Amazon — Backup Drives
Hardware

Want your own physical backup in addition to my service? A portable hard drive is a smart investment. I recommend at least a 2TB external drive for most families.

Frequently asked questions

Don't see your question here? Send me a message — I'm happy to chat before you book.

Standard photos (JPG, PNG, HEIC) count as one photo each. Burst-mode sequences (20 near-identical shots of the same moment) count as one photo. Screenshots, graphics saved from the internet, and video files are excluded from the photo count entirely. I'll give you an exact count and quote before any work begins.

Only I see your photos — no assistants, no third parties. Files are transferred over a private shared Google Drive link, deleted from my working machine after delivery, and if you add the backup service, stored in an encrypted password-protected folder. I take privacy seriously and will sign a simple service agreement before we begin if you'd like.

Screenshots, scanned images, and downloaded photos often don't have a date embedded in them. I flag these in a separate "Needs Review" folder and include a note in your delivery summary. I'll do my best to estimate a date from context (file name, image content), but anything truly undatable goes in its own clearly labeled folder so you can decide what to do with it.

I create a private Google Drive folder and share the link with you. You just drag and drop your photos in — no special software needed. If you have a large collection on an old hard drive or multiple devices, I'll walk you through how to combine everything into one place before uploading.

No problem at all. Just let me know and I'll send your organized files back to you via Google Drive and permanently delete them from my backup drive. There's no long-term contract — you can cancel anytime and retrieve your data at any time.

Most jobs are delivered within 5–7 business days of receiving all your photos. Very large collections (10,000+ photos) or the person-based sort may take a few days longer. I'll give you a realistic timeline when you send in your project details.
