I happened to catch this morningโs Today Show segment with Carson Daly regarding scanning family photos.
Itโs such an important conversation because like Carson, so many families feel overwhelmed by the boxes of prints, slides, and home movies sitting in garages and closets.
What I see every day in my work is this:
Scanning is just the beginning.
Creating a truly organized, searchable, and shareable family archive requires thoughtful planning. Everything from proper resolution and file formats to metadata, naming systems, and secure backup strategies.
Many families donโt realize there are certified professionals trained specifically in photo organizing and preservation (Iโm proud to be a certified member of The Photo Managers, a global community dedicated to doing this work the right way).
If youโre unsure where to start or simply donโt have the time, professional guidance will make the process smoother, safer, and far more meaningful.
And Carsonโฆ if you ever need help with those garage boxes, I know just the person. ๐
