Birthing My 3rd Baby AKA PTPS

The love of photography was instilled in me by my father at a very young age... and I’ve been an avid amateur photographer since my tween years. I’ve always valued the power of photos and their ability to strengthen bonds between family & friends. Surprisingly, I didn’t pursue a career in photography early on... however, many decades later, I was laid off from my corporate job shortly after the birth of my first child. Within a few days of arriving home from the hospital, I accidentally deleted (and lost) ALL the digital photos I took of her in the hospital & her first car trip home. I was inconsolable. I knew without images to help my terrible memory, those first few days would slowly, but surely become a blur. It was in that moment that I decided I never wanted anyone else to experience that pain. So when it was time for me to job hunt (now with two children in tow) I started toying with the idea of starting my own business. One that would provide financial support for my family while also allowing me the flexibility to care for my children as much as possible. It was pure synchronicity when I met Jen Lee at the 2012 Spark & Hustle Conference in DC. She introduced me to APPO and put me in touch with one of their associates who encouraged me to get certified as a professional photo organizer. And thus, Picture This Photo Solutions was born.
