    Outstanding!! Thank you, Benita. We just moved my 97 year old mother and, in downsizing, a large cedar chest with family photos has come home with me. Your guidance has given a thoughtful, simple way to begin sorting through them. Can't thank you enough!!

    Wonderful and so very helpful. I went thru this process many years ago after my parents passed. It was interesting for me to process the different emotions that arose. As I have no one to leave photos to when I eventually pass, the process of what to keep was a bit different than those who have children and siblings. I sent some photos to extended family who I thought may enjoy seeing them. I kept very few for myself. There was some sadness realizing the photo life of my parents wouldn't continue on. My own photos from my youth were much easier to declutter. I gained much insight into myself, and I am comfortable with my decisions. Beautifully filmed Benita.

    "Random pigs" OMG! LOL! When my mom passed away back in 2014 I took on this task and oh Benita, I'm still doing it. Every time I open an envelope or review the "final" album I see mistakes made during my sorting and classifying....but with music and your partner, if any, the stories and memories are amazing.

    Where was this video when I needed it during the pandemic when I sorted through about 3,000 photos, that ranged from my parents' youth to my 48-year-old current situation?😄 It took forever to categorize and sort, but that was one of my big quarantine accomplishments.

    My mother moved overseas, and to prepare her for the big declutter, I had her watch some of your videos along with some on Dostadning. She pared down to one medium-large suitcase of clothing and just five banker boxes of personal effects, three of which are being stored with me in the States. I became the keeper of all the family photos, and I must've thrown out one large black rubbish bag full initially, and now I am doing the secondary cull. This is by far the most helpful video available, and I just appreciate you so much! Thank you, Benita! ♥️🙏🏼🌻

    Great video! Thank you for doing this. I am in the process of doing this with mine and my parents photos. I am 27 and still live with my parents. I have kind of put our pictures on hold for a while since we are going through my grandparents belongings. My grandparents were born in the 1920's and lived during the great depression so they saved everything!!! There are pictures of not only my grandparents and my Dad and his siblings, but of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Friends, Great grandparents, great great grandparents and so on. I also discovered a while back a box of negatives. I originally wouldn't want to keep negatives but I happened to keep some of the older ones from the 30's, 40's and 50's. I actually took pictures of a few and uploaded them to a site that transfers them to positive images. There were a lot of negatives that I had never seen printed copies of. My grandfather loved to take pictures and would even take pictures of friends and neighbors. Thank you again so much for this video!

    @@BenitaLarsson Yes but what do we do when we also have copies of files with thousands of digital photos in our computer but also saved on external hard disks for fear of losing them? I find it managable to declutter and find duplicates on my computer but what about all the photos/files that were saved outside the computer? How can we compare the files in the hard disks and on the computer without risking to lose photos? I'm generally organized but this is so overwhelming and something that makes me very anxious because I'm thinking of my children and grandchildren and do not want to leave them a big mess...

    I went through two large bins of photos and kids school work a few months ago. I kept one of each year school photo and threw away the rest of the packets, discarded duplicates and blurry and also offered pictures to my children that might be special to them. I discovered that I am the most sentimental about photos and my family wanted very few. I am now down to two photo boxes of printed photos and a few pieces of artwork/letters from my childrens younger years. It wasn’t an easy project but I am glad to be done. Your method looks great…wish I saw this before I tackled the project but it will be very helpful to others!

    I started this very project before the pandemic. I stopped because I got overwhelmed. That may have been because I started digitally scanning all of my photos. I thought I should do this because we live in a hurricane prone area of the US, and it’s not possible to evacuate and worry about bringing any photos. AI thought having them digital would be good in the event the hard copies were destroyed. I wish I had thought of using stacking trays, that would have taken up less space in between working sessions. I abandoned the project, and no I didn’t take it back up during lockdown. I just ended a contract job so I have some free time again-maybe I will start again using your very helpful advice. I looked up articles on the subject and never found any thing as straightforward and helpful as this. Thank you once again! Loyal follower since your blogging days!

    Really like your idea of using box lids for sorting categories. It took me three years to sort my mom's photos, since I had so many questions about the people, year and locations. Those photos made many trips back and forth between my house in Virginia and my parents' house near Chicago! Years later I digitized and edited many family photos and old 35mm slides. The colors in old slides are outstanding. Many of these digitized photos made personalized gift photo albums for Older relatives.

    What a great video Benita! When we downsized my grandmother and mother i digitized and sorted by branch of family and subject and gave a backup copy to each of the extended family to share. They loved it. My error I think ( maybe not error but my stage of life) is I want to go back to digital files and cull because they are too big to be enjoyable for us. I created a book of a few subject areas for gifts and let go of all the paper copies to kids and family. My mom still has the albums that we can hold up for her to see and rest of us have a lighter closet and nothing to sort when she dies, sisters can share them. I think some kind of folder of best of best and let files go so we actually enjoy them now that they are preserved and shared already. ❤️🇨🇦

    Benita! I was procrastinating starting my photo organization project today by grabbing a cup of tea and checking out your latest video. Lo and behold, you provided the answers to getting this big project done. The box lids for sorting was brilliant! I'm ready to tackle these photos now. Thanks.

    I love this idea Benita!! Thank you! I have many pictures from my grandmother’s family in Italy. Those have been sorted and stored. However, the photos of my kids from the past 20 years fill several large bins in my garage. I’ve been thinking of starting on photos. Thank you for this idea!

    I did this last year! I threw out two full bags of duplicates, bad shots, negatives, etc. I arranged them chronologically and some went into albums. I try to go through my phone once a year, print a few shots, and then delete everything. It feels so much lighter, and years from now my kids can enjoy the albums which are labeled so they will know what they are looking at! Great job!

    I also did this recently with many, many boxes and albums of photos. What a chore! I was able to get rid of 90% of the photos (I had to laugh at your “backs of people you don’t know”). I did not get as far as categorizing, so will definitely utilize your idea of a box with dividers!

    Thank you for this Benita - I had made a start some time ago by removing all the blurry shots, random flowers, scenery etc and now I know how to organise the remaining ones a lot better. I like your suggestion of acid free paper dividers. Very clever.

    This is so helpful!! I had my children go through all the photo albums I had created and let them choose what they wanted. I still have several bags of pictures in envelopes that I never got around to putting in albums and old photos I took when my mother passed away 11 years ago. I’m going to use your sorting method and pair everything down to one memory box to keep for myself. Thanks for sharing this🙂
