Today, I sat down with Laura Woolsey of Memory Forward and talked about the process by which her business came to be.  As the name of her business suggests, Laura and her team help people organize and digitize photos and videos so that they can be used, viewed often and easily accessible.  In this interview, we discuss how Laura founded her company and the juggle of starting a company while raising two young girls.

Here's a bio from Laura's website:

My name is Laura Woolsey, and I’ve been a professional photo organizer for over ten years. All my life, I’ve had a knack for transforming chaos into order and keeping track of tiny details and loads of data. These traits allowed me to:

• Catalog my family’s entire VHS video collection when I was eight years old (including creating a a guide that listed the start and stop times for each movie).
• Keep my own family’s photos organized and labeled for my entire life.
• Graduate with a computer science degree from TCU, and work for over 15 years as a web developer and data analyst.
• Launch a business as a professional photo organizer in 2007 – long before most other photo organizers came on the scene, when people had just begun taking digital photos, and when the concept of digitizing printed photos was in its infancy.

Getting things right for my clients is so important to me, and I love sharing my talents and skills for such an amazing purpose as creating a photographic family archive. As a leader and veteran of this industry and a master of all things technological, my team and I can confidently offer you the absolute best solution for your family’s needs.

If you or someone you know would be interested in her services, you can reach her here on her website.
