  • Adam loves writing, teaching, and helping people make smart decisions about their family photos. If you know anybody who's been affected by floods this season, please share this free PDF guide.

    Many people have been affected by hurricanes and floods this season, so I created a free guide about Saving Wet Photos that I hope will be helpful. Download the free PDF here: https://lnkd.in/gsAG7bZr

    • Cover of document with title Saving Wet Photos
  • We love the work we do preserving family memories, and we also love helping other people launch and grow similar businesses. Our FOCUS Business Bootcamp last week was amazing!

    Last week we hosted our FOCUS Business Bootcamp at the Chaos to Memories studio. Five professional photo organizers from across the US enjoyed three intense days of technical training, business strategy, and goal setting. We also enjoyed lots of laughter and great food. I'm proud of Susan Costello Jacqui O'Shea ?? Beth Verdun Jamie Howe and Colby Bonisoli for doing hard work and taking big steps to make their dreams reality! Let me know if you want to apply for the Spring 2025 cohort: https://lnkd.in/g8ncEhim

    A great career strategy is to surround yourself with smart people. I enjoyed a visit this week from longtime friend and Adobe co-worker Mark Erickson and spent most of the day brainstorming ways to use AI to preserve family photos with even better quality and care. Mark also brought us a unique and thoughtful gift, a sample of film that was carried to the surface of the moon by astronauts on the Apollo 12 mission. It's mind-boggling that I get to add this to my collection of old film samples!

  • Photos last a long time, but not forever. We encourage clients to preserve their memories now before it's too late!

    I get so much satisfaction from the work we do preserving family photos. This dramatic before/after shows what's possible even with silvered and damaged photos.

  • How do we organize photos for our clients? The same way every time! Learn our five-step process in this free webinar.

    We're hosting a free webinar on the 5-step workflow we use with every client photo organizing project. It's the same workflow I cover in my book Declutter Your Photo Life and if you're interested we'd love to have you join us. The webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, August 13 from 7-8pm US CDT. The webinar is free, but registration is required. https://lnkd.in/gJTJHWuJ

    I love the dramatic before/after examples when we scan and preserve family photos. In this example we scanned a print (left) and negative (right) of the same image and the results are stunning. We believe preserving your memories is an important project that you should only do once. By scanning negatives, we capture 2x the resolution, more image area, and much better color. Thanks to Adobe Canon USA and Valoi.co for giving us the tools to preserve these memories!

  • Our first FOCUS Business Bootcamp was such a success that we're hosting two more FOCUS workshops this fall.

    We just opened applications for two more workshops for professional photo organizers. We're hosting FOCUS Launch in September for folks just getting started and another FOCUS Business Bootcamp for experienced photo organizers in October. Are you ready for greater clarity and confidence in an intense three-day workshop? Details and applications are available here: https://lnkd.in/gBwyBjY4

    Virtual Studio Tour On?Wednesday, June 19 at 5pm CDT?I'm hosting a free virtual tour of the Chaos to Memories?https://lnkd.in/gS62nn4Z?studio. We organize, scan and restore photos and convert more then 30+ formats of home movies. Most of our clients are families, but we also work with colleges, companies, and non-profits. Before I started Chaos to Memories I worked at Adobe for 22 years and bring that experience to the work we do today. I'll talk about the equipment we use, how we worked with an architect to design the studio, and answer any questions. This is NOT a sales pitch, just a virtual tour, sharing best practices, and live Q+A. The online event is free, but registration is required: https://lnkd.in/guEYM3Pp
