Treat Your Family Photos Like The Treasure They Are
Professional photo management for family media collections
It’s 2024. Do You Know Where Your Photos Are?
If you have a lifetime of photos, videos, and treasured documents filling your storage shelves, you aren’t alone.
Most clients we help have dozens of family albums, boxes of print envelopes, drawers full of hard drives, and old computers that hold countless stories and treasured moments of their lives.
It’s all there.
Somewhere.
But it’s an overwhelming task and they don’t know where to start.
Live Your Life and Leave The Memories To Us.
Getting your family photo collection under control can be a huge project. Ask anyone who’s tried it on their own. It’s been decades in the making, after all, so your photo collection won’t be straightened out overnight.
Just identifying all the places your photos are - physical or digital - and gathering them into a master library is time consuming by itself and often comes with technical hurdles like download restrictions or deteriorating media.
Bluewater Photo Management will take that off your plate. We know where to look, how to download photo and video files, and have the technology to do that most efficiently and with the highest quality.
Feel free to live your life and leave the memories to us.
Leave the memories to us.
-
Collect
We gather all your media into one master collection. Physical media - prints, slides, audio and video tapes, film - is scanned or converted to digital media. Digital photos and videos are collected from computers, mobile devices, hard drives, online services, and CD’s.
-
Organize
We review the collection for duplicates, poor quality images, extras, sequences, etc. and add dates and data to help sort and organize the collection.
-
Share
We set up access to your photo collection using proven, reliable photo management software. Whether safe guarded in a private library or posted to a shared family online gallery, Bluewater Photo Management will create a secure viewing experience that fits your needs. Sharing options can include protected access for family and approved friends as well as curated public galleries.
-
Create
With your input we create meaningful digital and print photo collections - framed prints, photo albums, online galleries for your enjoyment and to share.
My Wish For You
I’ve worked with images all my life and I want you to feel the joy I do when you see a barely remembered photo that fills you with happiness and transports you to that special time. It’s a gift we can give ourselves and it’s priceless.
Images connect us with our lives in ways that nothing else can. And the older I get, the more I appreciate that fact. A photo can cut through all the clutter of a hectic day and warm your soul. That video clip of my late mother at Christmas recalls dozens of special holiday moments in the blink of an eye.
And her voice . . .
Starting out as a photographer, my entire career has trained me for service as a Photo Manager, and to help you have the same experience I do when I look at my life’s journey in pictures.

Here’s the thing.
The time to get your photo collection all together, de-duped, uncluttered, organized and at your fingertips is right now.
Before you add more photos.
Before the old prints have faded away.
Before the video cassette tapes come apart.
Before you delete something by mistake.
While you can collect the family stories from those who were there.
Photos are the story of your life.
You only live once, but you can relive it every single day.
We’d love to help with that.
