Your family's story, kept forever
Boxes of prints, drawers of tapes, thousands of photos on your phone. Your memories deserve better than being scattered and slowly fading. I help families digitize, organize, and celebrate a lifetime of photos, so the stories behind them are never lost.
Three ways to help
From digital backups to albums in hand.
Whether you want to do it yourself with the right tools, hold a beautiful finished album, or hand the whole project to someone who loves this work. There's a path that fits.
Digitize and Preserve with FOREVER
FOREVER is a photo and video digitization solution with permanent online storage: a safe, guaranteed home for your memories that you own, not rent. As your FOREVER Ambassador, I help you choose the right services, get your prints, slides, negatives, and tapes digitized, and set up an organized digital family archive your whole family can enjoy, at any time, from anywhere.

Some memories belong in your hands, not just on a screen. Creative Memories makes premium albums, papers, and tools for telling your family's story in printed pages that get pulled off the shelf again and again. As a Creative Memories advisor, I help you pick the right products, learn the techniques, and actually finish the albums you've been meaning to make, with proper photo-safe materials that protect your prints for generations.

Done-for-you family archive
Overwhelmed by boxes, drives, and dusty albums? Hand the whole project to me. I dig through the images, identify the people and places (with your help!), organize the documents and keepsakes, and fully document and digitize your family's history. You end up with a clean, organized, safely backed-up family archive, and the stories that make it meaningful, captured while the people who remember them can still tell them.

Meet Phyllis
Helping people save their photos since 2002.
I've been helping people save and celebrate their photos since 2002. I live in Edmond with my husband David, ten houses from two of our grandchildren, so I know exactly how fast the photos pile up, and how precious they become.

Families who can find their photos again.
Have you got photographs sitting in boxes, like I do? Or maybe you have photographs in albums and wish they were digital so you could share them or create photos books more easily. If so, this is for you. I have been sending photos off to be digitized at Forever.com for a few months now. I'm going through my 4th of 10 cardboard boxes now. It's a long process but totally worth the effort! Phyllis is an amazing coach at FOREVER who is cheering me on! She answers questions and shares information I don't think to ask but need to know. I couldn't do this without her. FOREVER communicates about my PRECIOUS photos every step of the way! I was nervous sending out the first box, but now I don't worry at all. I recommend that you contact Phyllis for help (she's a pro).
B. G.Transitioning from paper scrapbooks to digital projects went so smoothly thanks to Phyllis’ help. She was so right about the need to digitize photos from the plastic sleeves so many were in. The best part was being able to put large items like posters and 3D things like patches and medals into digital format. My daughter added to the boxes of photos and added her favorites to the albums.

Answers to the questions everyone asks.
Common questions
Wondering where to start?
What does a photo preservation advisor do?
A photo preservation advisor helps you rescue and organize your family photos, videos, and documents. That can mean digitizing old prints, slides, and tapes; organizing digital photos scattered across phones and computers; creating printed albums; and setting up a system so everything stays findable and safely backed up for future generations.
Do you work with people outside of Edmond, Oklahoma?
Yes! I work with local families in the Edmond and Oklahoma City area in person, and with clients anywhere through the FOREVER platform, video calls, and mail-in digitizing. Distance is not a barrier to preserving your memories.
My photos are a complete mess. Is it too late to organize them?
It is never too late! Most of my clients start with decades of unsorted prints and tens of thousands of digital photos. We start with a simple plan, sort what matters most first, and make steady progress. You don't have to do it all at once, and you don't have to do it alone.
