Begin building your foundation

Transform your memories into a collection you’ll love

The digital photo world has changed a LOT since its inception, often leaving us in the dust with our digital chaos. If you have digital photos in all the places, you are not alone. This course gets you started on your journey, teaching you how to gather and consolidate your digital memories from your computer, phone, external hard drives, cloud sites, flashdrives, CD/DVDs, and more! Photos that are all over the place are REALLY hard to keep safe. Getting them into one place allows you to back them up with confidence and more easily find the moments that matter most.

This course is for you if...

  • You have digital photos and videos in multiple places (e.g. computers, phones, cloud services, external hard drives, CD/DVDs, etc.) and would love to be able to go to one place to find them

  • You're concerned about keeping your photos safe and getting them backed up has been on your list for far too long

  • This process overwhelms you. You’re ready to get started on your photo organizing journey, but need to take it one step at a time

15+ years experience turning overwhelm into peace of mind

She's broken this process down into 4 easy-to-digest steps, along with a bonus section with extra tools and guides to help you move forward with confidence. Holly takes a practical approach, allowing you to accomplish this with the native tools available on your PC or Mac, with no additional investment in software or apps needed.

FAQ

  • How long will it take me to complete the course?

    There is about 35 minutes of video content (a little less for PC users, a little more for Mac users), so not very long.

  • How long will it take me to gather and consolidate all of my photos?

    It depends on the number of digital photos and videos you have and the number of places they are currently living. Pro tip...don't leave a lot of time from the start of the project to the finish and take good notes on where you've been. Try really hard to keep the momentum going!

  • Will this cover my videos, too?

    Yes, it will cover gathering and consolidating both your digital photos and videos, however, if you have videos that are in a DVD format, that's another process. You can learn more about converting those in The Photo Organizing Blueprint.

  • Does the course cover how to remove the duplicates from my collection, what kind of organizational structure to use, and which cloud site to use?

    No. This course is focused on the first step on your journey, which is getting everything into one location and getting it backed up. Check out the Digital Photo Organizing Blueprint or our Signature Course, The Photo Organizing Blueprint, for the complete process from start to finish.

  • Where can I get help if I get stuck?

    All Blueprint course subscribers have access to The Photo Organizing Blueprint Facebook group where Holly personally responds to questions. If you need more help, you can purchase 1-1 coaching sessions.

  • What about my printed photos and albums, will you be covering those?

    Not in this course. But if you need help organizing and sorting your printed photos, check out our mini-course, How to Sort your Printed Photos. Or you can get support with both your printed photos and your digital photos in our Signature Course, The Photo Organizing Blueprint.
