That’s totally possible for you. And how do I know?

Because those are real-life results my clients have gotten once they learned how to organize photos in accordance with best practices and their goals.

I’ve been helping people learn how to organize photos and preserve them meaningfully since 2002. In the beginning it was all about printed photos, but as technology changed, I helped people with their digital photos as well. No matter what was in the collection originally, the goal was always to get them into a condition where they could be enjoyed in the present as well as left, as a meaningful collection, for future generations.

WHY YOU NEED THE FAMILY PHOTO KEEPER ACADEMY

No more trying to figure it all out on your own and second guessing yourself.

No more endless Googling and Pinning to try to find the answers.

No more signing up for a mish mash of freebies and other random stuff.

Sound like what you need so you can finally get all your photo memories organized?

Then I have just the thing for you!

“I believe I have achieved more than I imagined possible since signing up to The Academy. I have achieved more in the last 6 months (being guided and encouraged by Fancy) than I managed to do in the last six years “flying solo” being overwhelmed and procrastinating.”

Hi There! I’m Fancy.

Since 2002 I’ve taught classes and workshops on organizing photos and creating meaningful photo albums filled with family stories. I have loved teaching other family photo keepers how to create something that could be enjoyed in the present as well as be handed down through the generations.

In 2015 I started offering scanning and other done-for-you services to help people get their photo memory collections in order. I noticed that a lot of people wanted to organize their own photos, but didn’t know where to start, or who started and stopped many times over the years. I tried to support them through my blog articles and email tutorials, yet I often felt I wasn’t having the impact I wanted. I wasn’t really helping them get it done.

I created the Family Photo Keeper Academy after surveying my community how I could best help them learn how to organize photos. It turns out that what they wanted and needed was on-going support and accountability, easy access to get questions answered, mini-trainings on parts of the process, and checklists and homework to keep them going. When I saw these survey results, I realized right away that an ongoing membership would meet these needs much better than any one-off teaching I could do.

Frequently Asked Questions

You probably could find all this information on the internet. Let me ask you – do you have the time to do that? Has it helped you make progress so far? A key component of the Academy is the community support and the accountability, neither of which Google offers. Not to mention access to a professional photo manager.

My superpower is teaching non-techy people how to use the computer without making them feel dumb. It’s the one thing I hear the most from my clients. Maybe it was all those years teaching preschool, I don’t know. I’m very patient. I’m willing to help you master any tech you need to know to meet your photo management goals.

Let me ask you – have you implemented what you learned so far? Have you made great progress on your photo management goals? If so, then the membership may not offer you anything more that you need. However, a key component of the Academy is the community support and the accountability, neither of which a course or book can offer you. Not to mention access to a professional photo manager.

No, it is not tied to any particular product or vendor. I do have affiliate relationships with many different products and vendors in the photo management field, but I usually only recommend products that I’ve used and believe in. And, if I do make a recommendation for a product that I haven’t used, I will state that. I also often recommend products I have NO affiliate relationship with. My goal is to help YOU meet YOUR photo management goals. So any product recommendations I make will be tailored to your needs, not mine. I win by helping you win.

There is no minimum required time to join. If you choose to pay monthly, it’s month to month, and you can cancel at any time. If you choose to pay annually, you can cancel before it renews, switch to monthly, or sign up for another year. If you aren’t sure this will work for you, I encourage you to sign up monthly and give it a month or two to decide. You will get out of it what you put into it.

That’s, of course, your decision, and if you have absolutely no time to spare for getting ready to tackle your photo memory collection, you probably should wait. If, however, you want to get started on the smaller tasks now on the weekends, or you like to plan ahead, you may want to join before you retire.

If you join the Academy Facebook Group, you will have daily access to me. And even if you don’t, I’m always accessible by email, and I prioritize Academy Members over others who contact me.

As long as you remain a member, your monthly rate will stay the same. If you find you need to stop the membership for a little while, then when you come back, you will pay the rate that is being offered at that time. You will need to figure out which option is best for you at that time.

I make the times work for the people who attend on a regular basis, so if you live in a time zone where the current times do not work, please reach out so we can adjust at least some of the events.

Contact me and I’ll get back to you with the answer. Or click that pink chat button in the lower right-hand corner.
