It’s no secret that we’re passionate about helping people organise their photos.

After years of working with hundreds of clients, recording over 100 episodes of the DIY Photo Organising podcast, and refining our framework, we’re so excited to officially launch our DIY Photo Organising Course!

In this episode, we share why we created the course, what’s included, and how the 5 Golden Rules provide a clear, flexible, and timeless structure to help you move forward with confidence.

Over the years, we kept seeing the same patterns: People overwhelmed and unsure where to start. People organising without backing up first. People jumping in without knowing their “Why.” People getting stuck and giving up.

We realised most people weren’t lacking motivation - they were lacking clear principles.

That’s why we created this course.

What you'll hear in this episode

• Why we decided to turn the 5 Golden Rules into a structured course
• The common photo organising mistakes we see over and over again
• What’s included in the 8+ hour pre-recorded course
• A walkthrough of each of the 5 Golden Rules: Back Up, Know Your Why, Create a Photo Hub, Sort & Organise, Do Something.
• What the 40+ page workbook includes
• Details about the two bonus lessons: Organise and Preserve Your Printed Photos and When Organising Photos Feels Hard
• How the Live Intensive Workshops work - and who they’re for

Why it Matters

Organising your photos can feel overwhelming - until you have a clear framework. The 5 Golden Rules are timeless principlesthat work whether you have 500 photos or 50,000, helping you protect what matters, reduce the fear of loss, create clarity, and move forward at your own pace.
