Recovering Your Old Photo Gallery

Looking for Your Old Photos? Let’s See If We Can Find Them!

Have you searched for photos from a session a few years ago, just to realize you have absolutely NO idea where they went? (No judgment, been there.)

Maybe you got a new computer, lost the email, can’t find your downloads, or thought you had saved everything somewhere safe. Life gets busy, computers get replaced, and sometimes those photos get lost in the shuffle.

These pictures mean a lot to you. They are pieces of your family’s story, and I’m happy to see if I can help you find them!

Can I Find Your Old Gallery?

I would LOVE to have every gallery I’ve ever photographed forever. But storage doesn’t work that way, unfortunately.

In my photography contract, I promise that galleries and image files will be retained for one year. After that, files may be removed from storage to make room.

That means I can’t promise every gallery will still be available, but I’m always happy to look and see what I can find!

How Much Does It Cost to Retrieve an Old Gallery?

If your original gallery is still accessible:

  • $25 per session – Galleries within the last year.
  • $35 per session – Galleries more than one year old.

This fee covers locating, retrieving, and re-uploading your existing gallery so you can access your images again.

(This service is for retrieving your existing images. It does not include additional editing, retouching, or new images.)

What Do I Need From You?

No need to dig through every old email or panic-search your computer. Let’s see what we can find!

Just send me a message with:

  • Your name at the time of your session – Especially if your last name has changed!
  • An approximate date or year – Even a rough guess helps.
  • The type of session – Family, newborn, cake smash, maternity, milestone, etc.

I’ll check my archives and let you know if your gallery is still available before moving forward.

A Message for Future You (Seriously!)

Once you receive your gallery, PLEASE download your images and save them somewhere safe.

I recommend:

  • An external hard drive.
  • Cloud storage (Google Photos, Dropbox, etc.).
  • A second backup location just in case!

Computers crash, phones get replaced, and links eventually expire. I would hate for you to lose those memories because they weren’t backed up.

Let’s See If We Can Find Your Memories!

Whether it’s your baby’s newborn photos, your toddler’s cake smash, or family photos from a few years ago, I know those images are special. If there’s a chance I can help you get them back, I’m happy to try!

KC families, send me a message, and let’s see if we can find your old gallery!

I always say that these moments need to live outside of the computer. They are meant to be printed, framed, and passed down, not lost in the depths of an old inbox. ❤️
