5 Golden Rules of Photo Organising
Your free one page checklist
to get your photos backed up, organised and enjoyed.
Do you feel overwhelmed by thousands of photos spread across your phone, computer and cloud? You are not alone, and you do not have to tackle it all at once.
The 5 Golden Rules of Photo Organising are the simple framework I use with every client and teach in my courses. This checklist puts all five rules on one page, with practical steps you can tick off as you go. Each rule also points you to the podcast episode where I explain it in more detail.
Inside the checklist:
- Back Up: how to protect your photos with the 3‑2‑1 method.
- Know Your Why: turn your reason for organising into clear goals.
- Create a Photo Hub: give every photo one central home.
- Sort and Organise: remove duplicates, declutter and make photos easy to find.
- Do Something: turn your photos into keepsakes you actually enjoy.
It works whether you use a Mac or Windows, iPhone or Android.

About Me
Hi! I'm Chantal and I believe photographs have the power to bridge time and distance, strengthen family bonds, and even shape our sense of identity. I'd love to help you experience that for yourself through a beautifully organised photo collection.
I understand how overwhelming it can feel to be drowning in photos: daunted by the technology, worried about losing precious memories. I've been there too. For the past 10 years, I've worked professionally in digital photo management, helping people organise, declutter, and back up their photo collections with confidence.
Let's get your photos sorted together, so you can share them with your family, now and for generations to come.
Swiss by background and based in Australia, I work with English- and German-speaking clients around the world. I'm also the host of the DIY Photo Organising podcast, with more than 120 episodes on all things photo management.
