Meet your photo coach,
Deanna Johnson
As I grew up, I always loved taking photos and that passion turned into a career in helping others to save, organize, share and create lasting family albums. As I had my own family and inherited boxes of family photos I learned to safely store and share these photos digitally. Today I work with clients, their current collections and passed down memories, to create a simple, manageable system where family photos, videos, documents can all be stored safely and passed down to future generations. We like to call it Digital Photo Estate planning.
I have been a Certified Photo Organizer since 2013 with the Association of Photo Organizers. I am also a Senior Executive Ambassador with Forever. I use Forever and recommend it to my clients as a way to bring all their memories together into their permanent digital home. Paid for once but passed down for generations.
Families can work together to curate their memories and share across long distances. Knowing their family photos and history can be passed to future generations brings them security and peace of mind .
I take pride in the relationships and trust that I have with my clients and continue to build on over the years in the photo organizing industry.
My husband and I live on beautiful Vancouver Island. I love to mountain bike and kayak, and more recently exploring our new home on the Island. Some of my favourite photo books are those from adventures I have been on including Europe, Australia, and South America.
I look forward to working with you!
Proud to live, work, and play on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish People on Vancouver Island, BC. ♡
Where are your photos? Whether you have boxes of old photos, videos, film, and slides or a digital disaster on computers, phones, and hard drives, I can help you go from overwhelmed to organized!

Deanna is by far the best photo coach & organizer a customer could have. She listens to your needs and facilitates you through it. I wish I lived closer to her as I would spend all my days with her getting organized. ”

Deanna has been a wonderful mentor and a great ambassador. When I first bought my Forever storage, even though we live in different countries, she spent an hour teaching me online. One-on-one I was trained on how the program worked. If I have a question anytime, I know she is available to help give me the support I need. Recently, during the pandemic she has had zoom meetings available for her customers. Together we had our questions answered. She helped us get jumped started and I am making great progress in sorting and tagging my many, many photos. She is an inspiration!
