I can help!
Overwhelmed by the idea of memory keeping? Want to take control of your camera roll and do something with some of your photos? Take a deep breath. I’m Stacy and I can help you live your story with color and intention. I can help you manage indecision, confusion and unrealistic expectations. Stick around and you’ll learn how to craft important personal stories in FUN and creative ways!
I’m so glad you’re here.
For 25 years I’ve been helping women like you find inspiration for living your life and telling your story. If you want to do something with some of your photos—on and off your phone—this is the right place!
Teaching is my jam, online and in person. I founded Simple Scrapbook magazine, dreamed up Big Picture Classes, created the Library of Memories system and wrote about it in the book, Photo Freedom.
I’m a life enthusiast and a believer—I’m also a memory maker, meaning seeker and color lover. And I eat chocolate every single day, just because.
“Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have!”
Memory keeping is a gateway to this kind of happiness.
Yes, I know. Life is unpredictable, disappointing and full of challenges—and you barely have time to navigate it, let alone document it.
But what if that’s not true?
What if you have exactly enough time? What if you choose to think differently? Your story can be a riveting tale brimming with both the mundane and the magical. And you can explore and celebrate it with energizing creativity!
Come along with me as I help you put down the busy and more fully recognize and celebrate what’s truly good and valuable in life—relationships, experiences and memories.
I’m connecting playful storytellers across the globe through my courses and community.

Love Notes
Kind words from my wonderful students
"I read Stacy’s book and took her class and it was life changing! The most powerful lesson I took away was that I no longer had to scrapbook chronologically, nor do I have to scrapbook EVERY SINGLE PHOTO I take! This was so uplifting! I now create layouts that are more meaningful. I also love the photo storage system I learned from Stacy. It all just comes together so nicely and it is FUN! The overwhelming feelings I used to get (which kept me from wanting to scrapbook) went away after learning from Stacy."

"I am a nurse practitioner in the ER and we have hundreds of patients coming in daily and limited staff and rooms. We triage (French word meaning “sort”) so we know which section to put people in and who to see first, second, etc. Library of Memories teaches triaging for photos and memories. This is such a unique, amazing concept."

"I started using the LOM system in 2008. For 10 years now I’ve been using Stacy’s photo flow to deal with the thousands of photos I take annually without getting overwhelmed and to get pages into my scrapbooks without stressing about being caught up. The pages I am making because of this system are more meaningful to me and I’m able to quickly find photos. I’ve tweaked the system to make it work for me, but the basic structure Stacy teaches is brilliant on its own!"
