About Us

Many people feel overwhelmed by their photos and other memories. Captured Memories Photo Solutions provides photo organizing services so you can enjoy your memories and share them with others.

 I have been married for 34 years to Randall and we have four children; Matthew and his wife Deirdre; Joshua and his wife, Keri; Caleb and his wife Kasey; and Emily and her dog, Allie. We also have a granddaughter, Adelaide!
​

How I ended up in this business: My interest in preserving memories began after the loss of our daughter in 1994. I knew that our photos and movies of her life were irreplaceable. Researching how to preserve our own memories led me to beginning a business helping others with their photos. As digital photography took off in the early 2000s, we all started taking more and more photos and becoming more overwhelmed with our digital photos and aging boxes of printed photos. Seeing this need, I decided to change my business focus to actually organizing people’s photos and creating books for them. Today I manage photo collections for families and businesses in a personalized way that meets their need to share and celebrate their special moments.

The one thing I enjoy most about my work: I love getting to know different people and being able to provide them with solutions for their photos through organizing and capturing their stories. God has brought me many people who have gone through the loss of a baby or other close family member and I'm honored to be able to help them with their grief by remembering with photos.

My business philosophy is: Treat each client’s photos as if they were my own. I strive to help my clients celebrate and preserve their life or business by offering the best organization system and the best methods for their photos to be enjoyed. Each person has a unique story to share and their photo books, slideshows and home décor products should reflect their personality.
​
What are your goals in your business? For generations, we have taken photos and home movies to be enjoyed, not stuck in a box, a computer or a phone. I want people to be able to easily enjoy their photos. Preserving family memories is important, and if people don’t have the time or desire to do it themselves, I want them to know that it’s OK to hire someone like me to do it for them, and that they can feel confident that their memories will be safe and ready to enjoy. Family stories build self-confidence and resilience, so I want to see photos taken in the past continue to impact future generations.


Continuing Education
I have been a member of The Photo Managers since its beginning in 2009 and I have attended almost all of their conferences as well as many online events and trainings over the years.  I am also a member of the 2019 Masterclass and the 2023 Masterclass.

In 2024, I was honored to be one of two recipients of the Legacy Impact Scholarship.  

​
​
 I am also a 
Legacy Preservation Specialist and Privacy Advocate.  I have also coached fellow photo managers in the development of their businesses, taught breakout sessions, and led small groups within the association.  I find that teaching others is continuing education because I continue to grow in my skills as well.
