Linked below are my favorite products. Note that some of these are affiliate links that earn me a small commission if you purchase through the link. There is no additional cost to you but it does give my small business a tiny boost!

Gifts:

  • Remento - Help your loved ones tell their story with no writing involved! All they need to do is click a link, answer a question, and Remento does the rest. Listen to my Inside Photo Organizing (Season 3 Episode 23) where we interviewed the founder, Charlie Greene.

  • Aura Frames - digital frames to highlight special moments. Here is their website, and here is an Amazon link. They come in lots of different colors and frame styles.

Photo organizing software:

  • Mylio Photos - photo storage - photo organizing, searching, sharing, can hold most file types, cloud independent (subscription)

  • Forever - cloud photo storage - photo organizing, sharing, can hold most file types (one-time fee)

  • SmugMug - photo storage and sharing (subscription). Example using my own photos of what you can do!

General file storage (not just photos):

  • pCloud - cloud storage that acts just like a folder on your hard drive, can hold any type of file (one-time fee). Similar to DropBox but is a one time storage fee, not a subscription.

External Hard Drives:

It is best to get 2 different brands or types in case there is a bad batch. I like and have had good luck with both Samsung and Crucial, and will often purchase whichever one has the best price on the day I’m looking. For most uses I recommend a 2TB drive, but check your media and purchase at least double the space you think you need.

Backup:

  • Backblaze - automatically back up your computers and external hard drives with easy recovery should disaster strike (subscription)

Scanners:

  • Epson ff-680 - super fast batch scanner for your regular size, non-fragile prints

  • Epson v600 - flatbed scanner that can scan prints, slides and negatives

Home movies on your TV:

  • Projector - like Netflix for your home movies. Great for sharing! Listen to my Inside Photo Organizing (Season 2 Episode 12) where we interviewed the founder, Robert Marks.

Protecting and organizing your “life” files:

  • Trustworthy - get all your important life documents organized and available when needed. Give your loved ones a roadmap should something happen to you. Listen to my Inside Photo Organizing (Season 2 Episode 17) where we interviewed the co-founder, Nat Robinson.
