Lindsay researched this for awhile because it’s sort of a big deal to send in every childhood photo you have to someone. She loves that they have been doing business for so long and they take such a person approach to your project. They send you a drive and a link with all of your photos.

This is really the only way to be sure that your photos are safe - and something like water damage or a file can’t destroy them. Make sure you have a back-up of a back-up.

Send them all in and make sure you do it all at one time! Saves you time and money!

Then, Lindsay goes through all the ways that she organizes her photos on her phone and laptop. SO many great hacks and tips here. Make sure to listen all the way to the end!

We hope this episode inspired you to do a deep dive into your loose photos and your digital photos and get them all scanned and organized up! It’s painful at first, but totally worth it!

Ping Lindsay on IG at @LindsaysCloud and let her know what you want to hear more of on this topic!

Thanks for listening! Have fun photo organizing!

0:00.0	This podcast is a very practical one. It's all about organizing all of your photos. There is no
0:06.0	better time than now to really dive into all the photos that you have on your camera, roll on your
0:10.2	phone, and photos on your computer, and the boxes or piles of loose photos that you have in your
0:16.0	garage or shed. I'm going step by step through what I think are the best ways to get past photos organized
0:22.3	and get a new routine going so that as you take new photos, they go into your system of
0:27.0	organization. I'm talking about taking every old photo you have and everything you have on VHS and
0:33.0	DVD and getting it all scanned digitally. If you're anything like me, this might be one of those projects that you keep telling
0:40.7	yourself you're going to do, but you never actually get to it.
0:44.4	I finally jumped in and even though it was painful at the beginning, it's the best feeling

1:35.6	Photo organization. This project might feel so big that you don't ever start it.
1:47.7	That's where I was at. This project was on my to-do list for literally years. Years. How was that even possible? Like on my big kind of master to do list, I have a project section, something that, you know, can't be done in a day. And the problem with
1:52.6	putting things in the project section is there are always such big projects. I never take
1:56.6	the first step oftentimes because it just feels so big and it's never something that's urgent.
