The photos were then boxed by year with labels she provided. She completed our contracted time as scheduled… Her services helped so much in getting organization to my large collection of photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get their photo library in order. Thank you, Carolyn!
I had brought Carolyn three or four big tubs of pictures spanning over 80+ years… Now I can pass those memories on to the families — my children, my sisters, my brothers, my nieces, my nephews — and they can cherish them in a more organized way than just grabbing a bucket and going through them. Thank you so much for making my life more organized. You are the best.
Carolyn turned my older photos into treasured memory books… She will be converting my old videos onto a format so I can actually view them again. Excellent customer service and professionalism.
My passion for organization began early — inspired by a mother who believed everything should have a place, and a label. I've been the family historian all my life, the one making the scrapbooks, photo books, and slideshows for every occasion. After 25 years as an Occupational Therapist, I rediscovered that gift while helping families downsize their homes.
In 2023, I brought those two loves together and founded Coastal Photo Organization. Unlike large-scale or mail-in services, every project here is handled personally — I work closely with you to understand your story, your goals, and what matters most, turning overwhelming collections into memories that stay accessible and enjoyable for generations.

Your memories are handled with the same care I'd give my own. Every project follows secure, thoughtful handling practices, and privacy is treated as a core part of the service, not an afterthought.
All scanning is done at a minimum of 600 DPI — archival quality — for photos, albums, slides, and memorabilia. Each project includes a complimentary flash drive and a download link.
It depends on the size and condition of your collection. We'll map out a realistic timeline together during your free consultation, and I keep you updated at every step.
