I was listening to a podcast and learned about Miss Freddy and how she can organize your online photos. Has anyone used her before? She also offers a class where she teaches Backup Bootcamp. Anyone taken that? Its super pricey to have her organize your computer photos, so I don't think that will be an option for me. I am curious if the less expensive Back Up Bootcamp will show me how to do it? My problem is I have file and folders everywhere and soooo many duplicates. I need to wrangle them and clean off the duplicates. Oh, and many are not properly labeled either.  So if you've used her, how'd you like it. And if not, can you steer me to somewhere where I can learn to do this? |

Can you share the name of the podcast?
I have heard of her through the Simply Project Life Facebook group as she is a moderator I believe. She posted some fb lives there about photo organization.

Where does one become a "certified photo organizer?" Is there a program? I want in!!!! (But first I would have to sort my own photos, no one in their right mind would let me near their pics!)  |

no idea about the class but I'm happy to share how I organise photos
I have a photo library and in it are folders for every year (1970-2020 for mine). Within each year, I have folder sorted by date so today's photos would be in the 2020 folder in a folder labelled 2020_06_19 short description
Some of the older ones I don't have dates for - I do know the year and usually the season or month. So my baptism photos are in 1970_09_25 Baptism but my grandparents visiting are in 1970_09 grandparents visit
I do the dates like this so they sort chronologically.
When I'm sorting photos - I just copy into the year folder first. And then as I sort each year, it's easy to spot the duplicates (and the blurry out of focus ones) - I save the highest resolution version and delete the other(s).
I have a BIG project ahead of me for photo sorting. I've been scanning my mum's photos and they are in 3 sets on my computer - the slides, the loose photos, and the photos from albums. I need to combine the three into a single chronological file (similar to mine but it'll cover 1890-2019) and I also need to identify a large number of them. And I need to weed out duplicates between her photos and mine. Probably 2021's project
As for backups -I have them on my 'spare' internal harddrive, on my external harddrive, on Google Drove (right now just mum's), and I back up automatically via Carbonite.

I was in her first trial run of Budget Bootcamp which was free as she was working out the kinks of her program. I’m not sure what adjustments she made and what is now in the paid program. In her class there were three lessons:
1. Getting all photos into one location & setting up an organizing system
2. Running duplicate finding software
3. Backing up in multiple locations
To be honest I didn’t get to lessons 2 & 3 because it took me awhile to do the first one. I need to go back and finish this! It’s not the fun part of our hobby but I know I won’t regret it.
I think you could do it yourself with her class. You don’t need to to pay her. She also has a Facebook group where you can ask questions of her and others if you get stuck.

He thinks I can do it myself as well. I will probably get the bootcamp. |

You can work on it an hour a day or an hour a week and just keep plugging away it - so long as you set a plan to keep organised going forward (I have a Monday task every week to deal with the previous weeks photos). you CAN do this |

I bought this class last year and it is definitely worth it! I haven’t completed it but I did watch all of her videos. I have photos all over the place and none are organized. It causes me anxiety. She breaks everything down so well and makes it manageable. She has tons of great time saving tips. I highly recommend! There is a code for $10 off right now.

I want to do this class after listening to the podcast too. $59 is less than I thought the class would be. I'd love to have her do my photos too but out of budget @ the moment. I also wouldn't mind doing her mac basics class. I am sure there's stuff I don't know how to do that would make my process faster.

Do I need to join her FB group to get it? |
