Feeling overwhelmed by decades of printed photos, digital albums scattered across devices, or boxes of old family memories stacked in closets? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to tackle it all yourself.

Hiring a professional photo organizer can turn chaos into a curated, meaningful collection you’ll be proud to share and preserve. But how do you know who to trust?

Here’s what to look for...

1. Training and Experience

A trained photo organizer brings more than just a love of photos—they bring strategy, structure, and a deep respect for your memories. Look for someone with formal training through The Photo Managers, the global standard in photo organizing professionals.

➡️ Simplify Buffalo recently completed a year-long certification process with The Photo Managers, ensuring we meet the highest standards in client care, security, and photo preservation. After hundreds of hours of training and hands-on experience with real client projects, we are the most qualified professionals to tackle your project in the Western New York area.

2. Specialization

Some organizers focus on printed photos, others on digital cleanup—or both. Be sure their expertise matches your goals. Services may include:

• Sorting printed photos
• Digitizing and scanning
• Creating albums, memory boxes, or digital frames
• Backing up photos to the cloud

3. Privacy and Protection

Your photos are personal. Look for someone who handles images with care and discretion and who has clear processes for keeping your memories safe.

4. Project Portfolio or Testimonials

Ask for examples of past projects or client reviews. Seeing real outcomes will give you

confidence in their style and systems.
