Organise Your Photos With Apple
Are you the proud owner of an iPhone or iPad and a Mac?
The vast majority of my Apple clients come to me because they are constantly running out of storage across their devices because of their thousands (upon thousands) of photos. It’s just so easy with these wonderful devices to take photos and they seem to multiply rapidly. What’s scary, however, is that in many cases, they’re not sufficiently backed up. This means that the precious images are at significant risk of irretrievable loss.
Do you relate? Is it time for a photo storage system and some good old decluttering?
Let me teach you the very same process and method I use with my VIP clients to transform their photo libraries from cluttered and unusable to beautifully sorted and accessible. With just 7 steps you will finally fix that photo mess. You’ll have a deduplicated, organised and backed up photo collection you can easily enjoy within a system that sets you up for future success.
I highly recommend this course, Chantal makes it very accessible. There is a lot to get your head around however there are plenty of resources provided. The course gives you the confidence to undertake the process at your own pace. Chantal is a mine of information and good advice.
Chantal’s courses are amazing. She freely shares her extensive knowledge about Photo Organising and is happy to answer any questions you have. When I started Digital Photo Organising I thought I could simply Google what I needed to learn, but there are so many insider tricks and tips that I would never have learnt if I didn’t invest in Chantal’s courses. The information you learn is very in-depth and can at some points seem overwhelming – but Chantal is always happy to go over things again, you can re-watch the class recordings and the FB group helps students discuss and learn from each other.
I did the “Organise your Photos with Apple” course recently with Chantal and it was fantastic. Chantal’s zoom tutorials were very informative and her wealth of experience and knowledge was invaluable. Lots of videos, recordings and power-points for every aspect of photo organising with Apple Photos. By the end of the course I felt armed with everything I needed to continue to tackle my “mess” with the knowledge that Chantal was still there if I had any questions. Worth every penny – thanks Chantal!

- A reasonable internet connection from anywhere in the world.
Chantal has a warm style and knows her stuff 🙂
Chantal – thank you for a most useful course. The most important thing I learned was the need to follow a discipline. I handled a reunion book process in which we received 800 biographies and many thousands of photos. I was able to organise everything applying the methodology you teach in the course and I am still working on adding keywords to my photos to further curate my collection.

About your presenter
My belief is that photographs give us the ability to overcome time and distance, strengthen family ties and even shape identity. I would love to help you experience this for yourself through a well-organised photo collection.
I understand how overwhelming it feels to be drowning in photos. You might be daunted by the technology and worried about losing your photos. I’ve been there too! Not only have I worked intensively in the Mac environment professionally, but in fact for over a decade I’ve used Apple programs to manage my own photo collection.
Let’s get your photographs sorted together so that you can share them with your family, now and into the future.
FAQS
What if I can’t join you live?
All sessions are recorded. You’ll have full access to them and can also download them. Of course, it’s most beneficial to be able to join the live meeting but you will still learn enormously from the recordings.
What if I feel I don’t have enough time to do it all?
As mentioned above, the sessions are all recorded and will be made accessible to you. If you fall behind with the work, you can always pick up where you stopped and go back to the sessions. Sometimes, life just happens.
Will you run this course again?
Yes, towards the end of 2021
Does it matter whether I’m using an iMac or a notebook?
Not at all, it will be exactly the same except from the screen size.
What if I don’t have a Mac but only an iPad?
The course might not be very beneficial for you in that case. Much of the course involves steps that can only be done on a computer and not on a mobile device.
I don’t want to use the iCloud – is this a problem?
Not at all and I totally understand that it’s not for everyone. We will cover a range of solutions other than the iCloud.
I want to use Apple Photos on my Mac but have an Android phone – can I still do the course?
Yes, absolutely. The focus is on using the Photos app to manage your photo collection regardless of how and where images are taken. You can add your android phone photos to this library just like you can with any other device such as your DSLR camera. The only difference will be the transfer and sharing options.
I have a Windows computer – will you run a similar course for PC users?
Absolutely, the next course for Windows-users will start on 21 April 2021, please find more details here.
Why should I take this course and not just simply go to my local Apple store or ask Google?
- You get one-on-one access to an experienced photo organiser, specialising in Mac
- Learn from the comfort of your home, yet personalised and tailored to your specific needs.
- You’re not alone! You’ll work with like-minded people and not only get the accountability but the motivation and encouragement, too.
- Apple wants to sell you as much as possible (which is fair, they’re a business after all). I want you to learn how to use their tools and benefit from them in the simplest but most effective way.
- Benefit from the knowledge and expertise I have acquired over time working with many clients using Apple’s
- This isn’t just a course full of tips and tricks; it’s a complete step-by-step comprehensive blueprint for photo organising within the Photos app.
- The course focuses on the latest software, rather than older videos found online that don’t cover newer features and options.
