FAQ

  • How do I know if I can do this myself?

    WIth a good process and the motivation, most people can organize their printed photos themselves, and Lesson 4 will walk you through that process. Organizing your digital photos can be a little more challenging because...technology. This course will take you through the process step-by-step. If you know your way around your computer, you should have no problem. Where the technology sometimes gets in the way is during the consolidation phase of the project, but rest assured, if you need support, we're here for you.

  • What sets this photo organizing course apart?

    Holly's experience. Holly has been helping people organize their photos since 2010. She's organized a LOT of photos and has taken all of that experience and poured it into practical solutions and processes for everyone from the entry level tech user, to the busy mom, to the amateur photographer.

  • What if I only want to organize my digital photos right now? Is this course still for me?

    Yes, you'll find a significant amount of time in the course dedicated to getting your digital photos organized, including 4 of the 7 Lessons. My experience is that once my clients get into their photo projects, they recognize the value of looking at their memory collections as a whole. With that said, a lot of them start digital (which I recommend by the way) then when they are ready, they tackle the other parts of their collection.

  • What if I only want to organize my printed photos right now?

    My experience is that once my clients get into their photo projects, they realize how awesome it would be to see their whole collection in one place, and The Blueprint will help you get there. With that said, if you are just needing some support to get started on sorting your printed photos, Capture Your Photos offers a mini-course dedicated to photo sorting. You can learn more under our mini-courses: www.captureyourphotos.com/courses
