Kathy Rogers is the Photo Organizing Coach. A certified professional photo organizer since 2012, Kathy has years of experience in direct photo organizing services, as well as supporting new and growing photo organizers.
Kathy organizes her own family photo collection in Apple Photos, and is currently learning the new update so she can help her digital photo organizing clients when its released in September 2024.
Kathy’s first clients were friends of hers who were busy professionals and moms. They didn’t have the time or energy to make photo books for their own children. A couple of custom baby books later, a photo book design business was born.
When Kathy inherited many boxes of photos from her in-laws, she gained expertise in curating multi-generational family photo collections. Again, word spread and friends (or friends of friends) were thrilled to find someone who could help them with their long-neglected family photos.
Once again, personal experience was instrumental in Kathy developing her Memory Care Books. Supporting several family members who struggled with dementia and other degenerative diseases gave Kathy insight into the very specific things to do (and NOT to do) when making photo books for this population.
In short, Kathy helps people by recognizing the unique nature of each photo organizing client, but also deeply understands the struggles of keeping up with your family’s extensive photo collection and how photos can be a source of support in challenging times for families.
Kathy has presented at photo organizing conferences and webinars on the business of photo organizing. She’s conducted numerous in person classes on topics ranging from Save Your Photos to Memory Care Books.
In her pre-photo organizing life, she was a small business owner, health educator, researcher and service-delivery consultant in women’s health care. Kathy has a Master of Public Health degree from Johns Hopkins University, and finds that a lot of those skills transfer to her photo organizing work.
Kathy lives, works and volunteers with her family in Baltimore, MD.
