TESTIMONIAL

“I just ordered my second photo book! I am also working on albums for each of my boys individually. You are such an inspiration in my memory keeping! Your class truly simplified the process!”

Kendra W.

LET'S REWIND

I knew our memories mattered...

When we had our first kid, I had the best of intentions: baby books, family yearbooks, albums - I loved it all.

But life got busy. We had another kid. We moved a few times. My camera roll exploded. Sound familiar?

I wanted to do something with all those photos, but what? I was short on time and the options seemed endless.

So, I simplified.

I used my years of design and memory keeping experience to create a process that helped me cut through the overwhelm and actually make beautiful, meaningful photo books with ease.

This is for you if...

Your life is busy

Your camera roll is a hot mess

You want to share these memories with your kids (not just scroll them)

WHAT ABOUT...

Frequently asked questions

How much is the class?

It's $79. I used to teach this course "live" and sell it for $197. But it took three weeks to release the modules and only a handful of students could attend every q&a live. Life is busy! You get this course for 60% less and can work at your own pace, ask questions as they come up, and you don't have to wait. I'm excited about this format!

How much time do I need to get through the course?

You can binge the core material in about two hours. Put me in your ear while you fold laundry and let me walk you through the process! Plus, you can always speed up the videos to 1.25x, 1.5x or faster. And because you have lifetime access, you can revisit lessons as you work on your photo books.

Can I ask you questions if I get stuck?

Ask away! In each lesson, you'll find an icon in the lower corner of your screen to post a question. It comes directly to me. Give me a workday or so to get back to you, but I'm happy to help with general memory keeping questions or questions about your personal project.

How long do I have access to the lessons?

You have access as long as I'm in business (i.e. "lifetime"). That means you can go through the course, then revisit it when you're doing another project or go through lessons more than once. It's yours!

Will you help me with my own photo books?

Use the chat feature to ask a question about your own project. Those questions come directly to me and I'm happy to help!

Will this class teach me how to design custom pages?

No. I'll show you how to use your photo book editor to add layouts, headings, and text that will elevate your book - no extra software required. If you're interested in making colorful custom pages in Canva, you can add my Design Toolkit to your purchase at checkout! It has my process for creating custom pages, my favorite fonts, plus a Photo Book Kit you can use to drop my designs into your project.

You deserve to see your memories in print, and I can't wait to help you do it. Get ready to cue the nostalgia...
