The PRT Photo Prep System
A FREE 15-Page Guide for families and caregivers who want to transform overwhelming photo collections into powerful tools for connection.
You watch her eyes when you show her photos. Sometimes there's a flicker of recognition. Sometimes a smile. Sometimes nothing at all.
You know the right photo could unlock a moment of connection. But you have thousands of photos scattered everywhere—your phone, computer, cloud accounts, old hard drives.
When you need the perfect memory-triggering photo, you can't find it.
Why I Built This System
In 2018, my wife suffered a massive stroke. She spent weeks in a coma. When she woke up, her memories were fragmented. She struggled to reconnect with the world.
One day, I showed her a photo. Not because I knew about Photo Reminiscence Therapy. I was just trying everything.
She responded. Something clicked.
I'm a problem-solver by training. West Point graduate, former Army officer, 30 years as a DOD Project Manager. When something works, I don't just accept it. I study why it works. I test approaches. I build systems.
So I read the research on Photo Reminiscence Therapy. I tested different approaches with real families. And I ran into the same problem everyone faces: we're drowning in digital photos.
We're living through a photography revolution:
- 📱 92.5% of all photos are now taken with smartphones
- 📸 The average person carries 2,795 photos in their pocket
- ⚡ We capture 54,400 photos every second globally
You have thousands of photos on your phone right now. They live scattered across devices, buried in cloud storage, mixed with screenshots and duplicates. When you need a meaningful photo for a memory session with someone experiencing dementia or stroke recovery, you face digital chaos instead of accessible treasures.
The research says Photo Reminiscence Therapy works. But it only works when you can actually FIND the right photos quickly.
That's the problem this system solves.

What to Expect
This is not a quick fix. If you follow this system properly, it takes about 4 weeks to implement. You'll invest time upfront to save hours later and create better outcomes for your loved one.
You don't need expensive software. The guide shows you free approaches first using tools you already have (your phone, basic folders). Then I explain which paid tools I personally use and why they're worth it for Photo Reminiscence Therapy specifically.
Total cost if you use all my recommended paid tools: $200-400/year
Total cost if you use the free approach: $0
Both approaches work. Choose based on your budget, technical comfort, and how much time you want to invest.
I'm not a medical professional. This guide shares practical approaches based on research and personal experience. Always consult healthcare providers for medical advice.
