Are your digital or physical photos overwhelming you? I can help you take your photo mess and turn i

📸 Have you ever tried to take one good picture…and ended up with 47?

One person blinked. Someone looked away. The dog moved. You took a burst. And somewhere in there is probably a great photo—or three.

The question is: Do you need to keep all the rest?

In this week’s Memory-Keeping Memo, I’m talking about how to decide what stays and what goes when you have bursts, near-duplicates, blurry shots, screenshots, and multiple versions of essentially the same moment.

And no, the goal isn't to ruthlessly delete everything until only one photo remains! It's to make your collection easier to enjoy and easier to find your best photos.

And if sorting through thousands of photos sounds overwhelming, you don't have to tackle it alone. I can teach you how, work alongside you, or do the organizing for you.

You know the ones.
❤️ A great photo of each child or grandchild
👨👩👧👦 The elusive picture with everyone together
🧳 Favorite moments from this year
🎄 Photos of family traditions
💕 Someone you miss
📱 And that perfect picture you KNOW is hiding on someone else’s phone!

Before the holiday rush begins, spend a little time 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿.

And here's a habit that will help all year long: when you come across a photo you love, mark it as a 𝗙𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲. Over time, you'll create your own ready-to-use collection for projects, gifts, sharing—or just showing someone a picture without scrolling through thousands of photos to find it!

This week's Memory-Keeping Memo is all about getting those photos ready before you need them.

📸 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴?

In the vacation folder?
The family folder?
Under Grandma?
Yellowstone?
2026?

The problem is…𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.

That’s one reason organizing digital photos with folders alone can get frustrating. Our memories are connected to people, places, events, dates, and stories—and they don’t always fit neatly into one box.

In this week’s Memory-Keeping Memo, I’m sharing a different way to think about photo organization: instead of asking “𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼?”undefined, ask:

“𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻?”

That little shift can make a BIG difference.

And if organizing your photo collection feels overwhelming, remember—you don’t have to do it all yourself. I can 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗼𝘄, 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

🌳 Your family tree tells you who they were. But does it tell you how they lived?

When we're researching family history, it's easy to concentrate on finding the next name, date, or record.

Birth. Marriage. Death. Census.

Those records are important—but they're really only the framework of a person's life.

The interesting part is filling in the spaces between.

Where did they live?
What did they do for work?
What did their neighborhood look like?
What did they eat?
How did they spend an ordinary day?
What was happening in their community while they lived there?

Even a census can become more interesting when you stop looking at it only for names and dates. Look at occupations. Neighbors. Who was living in the household. Whether they owned or rented their home. Where family members were born.

Then look beyond the census. Old newspapers, city directories, maps, school records, military records, photographs, and family stories can all add pieces to the picture.

Genealogy isn't only about discovering our ancestors. It's about discovering their lives.

And if you've reached the point where you need some help finding those stories, FOREVER Genealogy Research is another resource available to you. Professional genealogists can research your family and uncover records, details, and stories that you may not have been able to find on your own.

Maybe it's your daughter when she was five. Grandma with the grandchildren. A favorite vacation. Christmas morning from years ago.

How long would it take you to find it?

We talk a lot about the 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 of organizing photos. But this week I'm looking at the other side:

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱?

Imagine finding the people and moments you want, sharing a picture when someone asks, or starting a photo book or gift without spending half your time hunting for pictures.

That's why I organize my photos. It isn't about having a perfectly tidy collection. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱, 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲, 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆.

And here's something you may not realize: if you'd love to have organized photos but don't have the time—or desire—to do all that organizing yourself, you don't necessarily have to. That's something I can help with, too.

I'm talking about all of that in this week's Memory-Keeping Memo.

🌳 Sunday is Ancestor Appreciation Day.

What a good excuse to spend a little time thinking about the people who came before us.

We often know our ancestors through names on a family tree, dates in a database, or old photographs tucked away in a box. But each of those names represents a real person who had relationships, challenges, routines, hopes, personalities—and stories.

Our ancestors don't have to be famous or extraordinary to be worth remembering. Their ordinary lives helped shape the families we have today.

🍂 Who is one ancestor you're especially grateful to know something about?

📼 Have a stack of old tapes or film you've been meaning to do something with?

This might be a good week to pull them out.

FOREVER's Tape & Film Box is available through the end of September, and I really like how simple this option makes digitizing old home movies.

The box itself is $125 and includes digitization of 10 tapes (or 50' of film). Additional tapes are $12.50 each, and each additional 50' of film is also $12.50.

And here's the part I think matters most:

Those aren't really tapes sitting in your closet.

They're Christmas mornings.
Birthday parties.
Kids being silly.
Grandparents whose voices you may not have heard in years.
Vacations you've forgotten pieces of.
Ordinary afternoons that no one realized would someday be precious.

Digitizing them isn't about creating more digital files.

It's about being able to watch those moments again.

The Tape & Film Box is only available through September 30, so if you've been thinking about digitizing your old home movies, now is a great time!

🎁 Last week I suggested starting to gather photos for holiday gifts. So…what do you do with them now?

Before you start designing anything, think about who the gift is for.

Then look through the pictures you've gathered and ask: What would mean the most to this person?

For Grandma, it might be photos of all the grandchildren from throughout the year.

For your adult child, maybe it's pictures of the family traditions they grew up with.

For a spouse, it could be favorite moments from trips and everyday adventures you've shared.

For a friend, maybe it's the pictures that make both of you laugh every time you see them.

Once you know the person and the story, deciding what to create becomes much easier—a photo book, calendar, canvas, ornament, blanket, or something else entirely.

And you don't have to make it yet.

This week's step is simply to decide who is on your photo-gift list and what collection of pictures would be meaningful to each person.

Getting those decisions made now means that when you're ready to create, you won't be starting from scratch in November. 😊

Who is one person on your photo-gift list this year?

🍁 Happy first day of fall!

What's one thing that makes it officially feel like fall at your house?

Make sure you take pictures of it and any other traditions you have around the season.

📷 This picture was probably taken because of the cat.

She used to sleep on top of our television—probably because it was warm.

But nearly 50 years later, I find myself looking at the TV almost as much as the cat.

The size. The cabinet. The k***s. All the little details that were so completely ordinary in the 1970s that no one would have thought they were worth documenting.

And yet, here I am decades later, fascinated by them.

It makes me wonder: What are we surrounded by today that our children and grandchildren will wish they could see someday?

Our kitchens.
Our cars.
The technology we use.
What's sitting on the bathroom counter.
The toys on the floor.
The groceries in our cart.
Even our washer and dryer.

We tend to photograph the big moments. But most of our lives happen in between them.

This week's Memory-Keeping Memo is about those pictures—the ones that preserve not only the people we love, but what everyday life actually looked like.

And I included another childhood photo that tells an even bigger story about what everyday life looked like for my family while my dad was building our house.

📖 The Everyday Photos That Tell Our Story

Here's my challenge for you this week: Take five pictures of ordinary life.

Someday, ordinary may be exactly what makes them interesting.

Today's ordinary is tomorrow's family history.
