Hi, I’m Melissa.
I’m here to help you preserve and tell your family’s unique story.
For the past twenty years, I’ve been the curator of my own family’s story. What began with my role as the designated family photographer expanded to include researching both sides of my family’s genealogy. After my grandmother passed away, I discovered boxes of photos and negatives I never knew existed. That discovery fueled my determination to organize, curate, and share my family’s history.
Perhaps you’re the keeper of your family’s stories, feeling just as overwhelmed as I once was with photos and mementos, unsure of where to begin organizing the cherished memories you’ve been entrusted with. Maybe you’re a busy mom with no time to select your family’s favorite photos each year or to capture the countless art projects your kids bring home.
Wherever your are in life and whatever your need is, I’m here to help you manage, curate, preserve, and share your family’s unique story.
