The cobbler’s children have no shoes. The professional photo organizer’s personal photos are not perfectly organized. What? Yes, as is often the case with busy service professionals, sometimes the personal photo organizer is so busy organizing and preserving her client’s family treasures that her own photos go neglected. Eventually, she makes herself her own client and makes time to work on her own photos.

In Part Two of this series (read Part One here), we want to share with you more true stories of what a personal photo organizer does with her own family pictures with the time or the need arises. We hope you are inspired to start your own photo organizing project as well. Or call a Photo Organizer. We’d be happy to stop our project to work on yours.
