Hi! I’m Courtney

I’m a Photo Organizer living in Chapel Hill, NC with a very active 10-year-old son. I love to document the fun things we do together and between our activities and travels, we really take a lot of pictures! If you are anything like me, my iPhone photos add up quickly and can be quite overwhelming to deal with.

Not long ago, I helped my mom move out of her home of 37 years and discovered that her print photos were EVERYWHERE. The process of simply finding them was a monumental task, not to mention deciding which ones to keep and which ones needed restoration before they were lost forever.

While I had originally been focusing on helping people manage their digital photos, my mom’s move made me realize that there are a lot of people who are dealing with large print photo collections that need to be downsized and properly preserved.

As a result, I have combined the need for digital photo support with the mountains of overwhelm clients feel when they look at their print photo collections. I am thrilled to offer services that address both needs and do it in a judgement-free, trustworthy, and compassionate way.

I started Decluttered Digital with the mission to help others who are overwhelmed by their digital photos. Now I focus on preserving and sharing your entire photo legacy, both print & digital. I draw on a 20-year background in working with people as well as my experience in the tech industry to bring a personalized experience to my clients. I look forward to meeting you!
