Hello, friends!
Every photograph holds the power to unlock memories, spark connections, and heal relationships—even when memory loss, stroke, or grief threatens to pull families apart.
If you're caring for someone with dementia, supporting a stroke survivor, or simply want to deepen connections with aging loved ones, you've discovered something profound: a single photograph can bridge gaps that words cannot cross.
I help families transform their photo collections from overwhelming digital chaos into powerful tools for connection and healing through Photo Reminiscence Therapy (PRT).
My mission is to ensure your family photos become accessible, organized, and ready to spark meaningful conversations—because today's smartphone images will be tomorrow's precious memory triggers.
At MyLegacyCloud, we provide education, coaching, and a supportive community to help you master both the heart and the technology of photo reminiscence work. From organizing thousands of digital photos to creating meaningful memory sessions, we make the complex simple.
Why This Matters More Than Ever:
We're living through the biggest photography revolution in history. Smartphones now capture 92.5% of all photos, with the average person carrying 2,795 images in their pocket.
But here's the challenge: when families need meaningful photos for memory work, they're often lost in digital chaos across multiple devices and platforms.
With over 30 years of experience as a genealogist, photographer, and family archivist—plus my personal journey supporting my wife's stroke recovery—I've seen firsthand how the right photograph at the right moment can awaken recognition, restore connection, and bring healing.
The Personal Story Behind the Mission:
When my wife was recovering from a stroke, struggling with fragmented memories after weeks in a coma, traditional approaches felt inadequate.
But when we looked at old photographs together, something remarkable happened. Recognition flickered. Stories returned. Connection was restored.
That experience taught me that memory isn't always gone—it's often just waiting for the right key to unlock it. And frequently, that key is as simple as a photograph, properly chosen and lovingly shared.
From Technical Chaos to Meaningful Connection:
I've mastered the tools that make modern photo reminiscence work possible: Mylio Photos for intelligent organization, Vivid-Pix for advanced restoration techniques to bring old photos back to life, and proven systems like Photomyne for unique capabilities to capture photo albums and slides.
And I've also worked with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and developed AI prompts for use in photo repair.
I also have a long career in networks and computer systems, so I can help with digital storage, backups, and cloud systems.
But more importantly, I understand the delicate balance between technology and heart—how to organize photos not just efficiently, but meaningfully.
Beyond Preservation—Creating Connection:
This isn't just about saving photos; it's about making them work for you when it matters most. Whether you're preparing for memory sessions with a loved one, creating legacy projects for future generations, or building systems that support ongoing caregiving, we focus on practical solutions that serve the deeper purpose of human connection.
