Client Profile:

Products and Services Used:

Why Neat Freak was right for the job:
Many parents feel, when it comes to pictures, that they’re falling short or just not doing it right. Individuals with children 10 and under have almost all of their photos in a digital format. Knowing where those photos are, being able to find and share those photos and knowing that they are safe and backed up is a much bigger concern than it used to be. There are so many solutions and services available that making a choice can be overwhelming. Neat Freak was able to do the research on the latest and greatest tools, make recommendations on solutions that worked for the client, then walked her through the steps to organize the photos. With initial set up, a few tips and workflow guidance, this client was able to see her entire photo collection, delete duplicates, start editing and organizing according to a system that made sense to her, and then confidently back them up.
