I started Your Organized Memories out of a desire to help preserve the stories that matter most. At the beginning of this year, I set out to finally organize my own collection of digital and printed photos. With thousands of images spread across devices—and a growing family—I wanted to get everything in order so I could keep up with it more easily moving forward.

Not long after, my mother gave me a photo book filled with moments from my life—a gift that deeply moved me and reminded me how powerful it is to have our memories thoughtfully gathered and shared.

That experience stayed with me and inspired me to help others do the same. Now, through personalized photo organizing, custom books, and preservation services, I help others bring order and meaning to their photo collections—making their memories easier to find, enjoy, and pass along.

My Mission

I believe your memories deserve more than a crowded camera roll or a dusty box in the closet. My goal is to help families bring order to their photo collections—digital and physical—so their most meaningful moments can be preserved, enjoyed, and passed on.

Whether it’s organizing years of digital images, scanning and labeling inherited prints, or designing photo books filled with laughter and legacy, I help turn overwhelming photo clutter into something that feels peaceful and purposeful.

I'm based in Coralville, Iowa, and love helping families across the Iowa City–Cedar Rapids area bring order and meaning to their photo collections.

Every family has a unique story

—and often, the photos that tell it are scattered across devices, cloud accounts, and keepsake boxes.

Busy families

Life moves fast. Photos pile up even faster. I help modern families who are managing full schedules and growing photo libraries—so they can finally feel caught up, in control, and ready to enjoy their memories without the stress of searching through endless files.

Memory keepers

You may have inherited generations of photos, albums, and slides from loved ones—and you want to make sure they’re preserved with care. I gently guide you through sorting, digitizing, labeling, and organizing these treasures so they can be safely shared with children, grandchildren, and beyond.

My Approach

I know how personal and sometimes emotional it can be to sort through decades of family photos. That’s why I bring a calm, thoughtful, and organized approach to each project. My process is never one-size-fits-all—every service is tailored to what you need most, whether that's digital photo organization, photo book creation, cloud backup, or help with physical prints.

You’ll never feel rushed or overwhelmed. We go at your pace, with your priorities in mind.
