Photo and Memorabilia Organizing by The Swedish Organizer, Caroline Guntur in the Chicagoland Area!

Got a Mixed Box of Memories? Let’s Organize!

Photo & Memorabilia Organizing in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, IL.

Most people find themselves with many different types of memories and lots of different formats, all of which need a different type of archival strategy, so if you’re in need of better organization, look no further than yours truly for caring and reliable service.

With my Photo & Memorabilia Organizing service, we’ll declutter, organize, and archive everything you want to keep safe for future generations. We can even talk about digitization if it hasn’t yet been done!

When I organize memories, I use only archival quality storage boxes and binders so that your photos will stay as protected as possible, and I care for everything as it they were my own memories.

Here are a few examples of treasures I can organize for you:

Printed Photos
Negatives
Slides
Film Reels
VHS Tapes
Artwork
Memorabilia

All organizing is done in my home studio, so I will either arrange for pickup of your items, or you can drop them off or mail them yourself. At this time, I don’t offer in-home services. Prices start at $85/hour.

Service Area:

Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Barrington, Inverness, Crystal Lake, Elk Grove Village, Itasca, West Dundee, Sleepy Hollow, Algonquin, Village of Lakewood, Huntley, Pingree Grove, Hampshire, Elgin, St. Charles, and Geneva. Clients in other areas may drop off, or mail their memories.

I live at the intersection of Family History and Digital Organization, so I teach people just like you how to organize and preserve their family stories and treasures, so that future generations can enjoy them too! You can read more about me here!

In desperation about the hodgepodge of digital photos that were scattered around unorganized in my life, in July 2020, I found info about Caroline Guntur’s DPO PRO class. I signed up and devoted the early Covid-19 lockdown months to working through the modules offered in the class. The class videos were very informative and enlightening. I gathered thousands of digital photos from many locations — old phones, old computers, CDs & DVDs, plus emails & text messages. I went through them all and discarded many duplicates. I formulated a naming convention for pictures, that I have now begun using for all my digital files. Along the way, I had many questions which I emailed to Caroline. Her patience is phenomenal, and her always-attentive care and prompt responses helped me immensely. I also learned so many useful things in this class that were not directly related to organizing photos. For example, I now have an automated system that backs up my entire computer daily, in addition to a cloud-based backup system that I already used. For me, the cost of the DPO PRO class was a hefty financial investment, but it has already been worth every penny. Caroline is a wonderful teacher, and I think of her as a friend, though we have never met.

Caroline helped me finally organize 20 years of images, in various formats, scattered across multiple locations and devices - a task I had been wanting to accomplish for years, but was completely overwhelmed about how to begin. I had three iPhoto libraries and didn’t know which one was the most current or had the most images, plus I had images saved in several Dropbox folders, a few thumb drives, my computer hard drive, two external hard drives, an iPad and two years of images on my iPhone. I also had images in an Aperture library, a program that doesn’t exist anymore so I didn’t know how to access them. I’m a reasonably “techie” person, but reading online articles about how to begin sorting through them always left me feeling overwhelmed. None of the step-by-step articles applied to me and my specific needs...Finally, I have ONE image library for all my images, all organized so I can quickly find any image I want, and with the peace of mind that all my images are constantly backed up and secure... I never would have been able to figure out how to do this alone. It is the best money I have spent in a long time!
