I’m so glad I finally made the decision to contact Melissa to help me with my photos. She helped me look at the big picture of what I wanted to accomplish. She also explained things I needed to understand about my iPhone and iPad. It was so exciting to see my albums come together. I also became bolder to think outside the box and to personalize what I was wanting to enjoy on my Photo App. Today I am much more confident, challenged, and proud of myself!”

Melissa was extremely helpful and patient in helping my husband and myself to organize our travel photos over the years. As I would get frustrated, Melissa was calm and informative in supporting and teaching me how the process works. Our final products are treasured photo books that capture some memorable times of wonderful vacations. I can't recommend Melissa enough! Her patience, organizational skills and creativity made this task enjoyable and provided us with products that will last a lifetime vs. a "tub of pictures" in the basement. Give her a try!”

“We were having big trouble creating a Christmas card with pictures, so we called Melissa for help. We met her on zoom and she walked us through the process . It was very easy due to her superior knowledge of the subject. She used Walgreens and knew how to get their discounts which saved us half the price. I highly recommend Melissa Foote for any of your photo needs.”

“Step-by-Step Photo Organization is a great small business. The CEO, Melissa Foote creates and updates her product offerings often. She offers online classes and teaches in-person classes. She is an amazing teacher and it is apparent after 18 years of teaching in the public school system. She has been an incredible help to me and my wife. She has helped us create a number of professional vacation memory books that include vacation pictures, text to document our travels and colorful borders on each page. They are beautiful and exceeded our expectations. She has also helped us to organize and clean up our iPhone pictures. We have over 2,000 pictures taken in the last 18 years and it was overwhelming to us before we contacted her. With her help, we now have them organized and she showed us how to search for the picture we are looking for. She also helped us to delete duplicates pictures. I was stunned at how many there were! One of her most relevant offerings is her home inventory class. She showed us how document our home belongings on paper and in an iPhone video. If our home is ever destroyed by fire or acts of God, our insurance company will require detailed documentation on our belongs in order to them to pay to have them replaced. We also need receipts for major items and Melissa showed us how to scan our paper receipts into our computer so we have an electronic copy saved as well. I highly recommend Step-By-Step Organization! Melissa's offerings are reasonably priced and jam packed with important information and how to videos. You will not regret your investment to make your photo library user friendly to you and have the information you need for home insurance purposes if heaven forbid you ever need it.”

“Melissa is amazing to work with! I’ve had her help me with photo organization on my phone - have you ever realized how many duplicates are on your phone? I think I’m pretty tech savvy, but Melissa has shown that I need help organizing photos. I have also taken her Emergency preparedness class which was eye opening! I am no where prepared for a fire or household emergency. She provides you the tools and worksheets on what to do and what to document. Her passion shows from the moment you meet her. Don’t hesitate to reach out to her.”

“Melissa’s monthly photo tips have been a lifesaver for me in organizing my pictures, it would never have even been a thought for me to do this until I started receiving these emails and practical, easy tips to take to get my photo's organized, easy to find and has truly "cleared my clutter." Step-by Step Photo has been a game changer in organizing my photo life. THANK YOU!!!”

“I am so impressed with the work done by Melissa Foote at Step-By-Step Photo Organization. As a vetted service provider on AgeWise Colorado we have thoroughly checked out her business and find it trustworthy and helpful. Personally, the tips provided by Melissa on a webinar we hosted were so helpful to get me started on my own photo organization. As an older adult I have dozens of photo albums and know there is not a lot of room for them when I am not here. Thank you Melissa for showing me how to go thru them, organize them and be able to pass on the memories.”
-Barbara B.
"After my son's passing I wanted to create memory books for each of his four children and one for his wife. This was a daunting task of searching through hundreds of photos to create five meaningful books. Each specific to one person. Melissa was extremely helpful in selecting the photos. Patient, kind and understanding of me throughout the process. Her expertise in selecting the photos was invaluable. I highly recommend Melissa to undertake any photo book or video project you may have.”
-Wanda C.
“Melissa helped turn the daunting task of consolidating decades of photos into a meaningful and rewarding experience! There’s something truly special about rediscovering old photos and reconnecting with precious memories. It’s amazing how a simple image can bring so much joy and emotion, especially when those memories span generations. I was able to reflect on a life well-lived and we unearthed some special treasures. Thank you Melissa for helping me see the beauty in my photos! Being able to help someone rediscover the stories and emotions tied to their memories is a truly beautiful and meaningful gift.”

“I absolutely love Melissa's Tuesday Tips for photos. I have learned so much, and it's made organizing my photographs super easy and convenient. I also attended an amazing seminar about emergency preparedness put on by Ms. Foote that I would recommend to every single homeowner, especially in the wake of all the wildfires going on right now destroying people's homes and possessions. She really knows her stuff!”

“Melissa was extremely helpful and patient in helping my husband and myself to organize our travel photos over the years. As I would get frustrated, Melissa was calm and informative in supporting and teaching me how the process works. Our final products are treasured photo books that capture some memorable times of wonderful vacations. Another product that she helped us put together was legacy books about each of our individual histories. She prompted us with informative questions that uncovered our own life stories. That process was a tender and fun experience. I can't recommend Melissa enough! Her patience, organizational skills and creativity made this task enjoyable and provided us with products that will last a lifetime vs. a "tub of pictures" in the basement. Give her a try!”
