Hi there!
My name is Laurie LeBlanc and I am a professional Photo Manager preserving memories across Southern Oregon. Like most people, I have a large photo collection and it is priceless to me. When I inherited photographs from my parents’ large collection, the memories of my childhood became even more vivid and more dear to me. I want my own children to someday inherit a collection that is equally meaningful, but with so many more photos, and a list of unthinkable possibilities of loss by disasters, technological failures, degradation of media, etc., I became determined to preserve the family stories for them without the overwhelm that my own collection was causing me. It’s an ongoing process–life still keeps happening and photos are still being taken–but as the saying goes: “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!”
I would be honored to help you find the peace of mind you deserve by helping you to preserve your own stories. Click below to discuss how I can best serve your needs.
Kind words from a happy client…
“When I brought my projects to Laurie, I was overwhelmed. Even though she, too, found them to be enormous, she got right to work, helping me figure out an approach to each one. Things she didn’t already know, she researched, and came up with terrific recommendations!
Laurie is not just good at what she does, she is an amazing human being, and she listens. I had so much going on in my life that I couldn’t even begin, because everything else seemed to come first. Laurie has helped me to find balance between everything I was juggling, and the perspective to make time for what I really want to do.” Sylvia R., Portland, OR
Ducks in a Row Photo Solutions
I started Ducks in a Row Photo Solutions after spending hours scanning my own childhood photos and realizing how long it had been since I last looked at them. As the digitized images were color corrected, bringing faded memories to life, the joy I felt at seeing them, easily sending them to family, posting them to Facebook and Instagram, and the relief knowing that they would be enjoyed by my children, and someday theirs, was enormous! It was the realization that most families do not have their photos protected and either don’t have the time, energy, or ability to do this for themselves that led me to start this business.
If your photographs are stashed in shoeboxes, drawers, magnetic albums, or in a plastic bin, they are probably not being enjoyed and are deteriorating with each passing year. Especially if they are being stored where there are extreme temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight. I can help you preserve the images, protect them from further deterioration, add pertinent information to them, and enable easy finding, sharing, and enjoying of your precious memories. Or I can help guide you through the process, if you prefer to DIY.
