Talks & Workshops
Learn how to manage your photos and tell your story.
We’re teachers. We love to share our expertise in photo storytelling and managing family photo archives. Join a talk or workshop series (or schedule one!).
Our events are available in-person and virtually and offered for a flat fee. We offer special rates for non-profit organizations.
Our talks and workshops are tailored for the audience: adults ready to downsize and move, newly minted empty nesters, families with children, older adults leaving a legacy.
They’re perfect for women’s and men’s groups, parent and grandparent groups, book clubs, active senior communities, libraries, and businesses with employee lunch-and-learns.
Contact us to discuss one for your organization or group. Everyone has photos and stories to save and share!

“Jiffy taught a class at our local Senior Center about how to organize a lifetime of photographs. Her teaching style makes each class member feel comfortable, eager to get started and confident. I can’t say enough positive things about her.”
