YOUR FAMILY ARCHIVE CONCIERGE
Your family’s memories. One person to bring it all together.

You don’t have to get organized before asking for help. No inventory required.
I build a plan for your family
I handle scheduling and coordination
Your family stays in control
WHY I STARTED ITSALLKIN
Bring me what you have. I manage what happens next.
I started itsallkin because I saw how modern technology could bring a family’s photos, emails, text messages, recordings, and stories together in one accessible place—a kind of living time capsule. Many families already have these memories. The challenge is connecting and organizing them, especially when new technology feels unfamiliar.
That is where my project-management background comes in. I break big, complicated projects into smaller, achievable steps: find what exists, sort it, identify the people and dates, decide what to preserve, and bring the pieces together.
Every family is different. You decide what matters and what the finished archive should look like. I organize and coordinate the work, whether that leads to a family website, a timeline, or an easier-to-use collection of files and keepsakes.
THE PROCESS
From the first conversation to a family archive you can use.
You bring the collection and your goals. I organize the process.
02
I create the plan
I define your goal, identify the different materials, outline the work and agree on priorities, scope and budget.
03
I coordinate specialists
I compare appropriate scanning, media-transfer, preservation or technical providers, obtain quotes, and manage approved work and handoffs.
04
I deliver and show you how
I organize the agreed results in a suitable family website or archive platform, check access and hand over the files and instructions your family needs.
You approve the scope, providers, costs and any sharing of family materials before outside work begins.
EXAMPLE FAMILY PROJECT
From mixed boxes to one family archive.
Imagine a family with six boxes of photographs, four VHS tapes, paper letters and photos scattered across relatives’ phones. They want everything easier to find and share, but do not know where to start.
- 01Free Family Archive Planning SessionI listen, identify the most important materials and agree on one useful first step. The family does not have to sort everything.
- 02$200 first phase: project planI map the different materials, develop a roadmap, research suitable specialists and coordinate one approved first action. This is not the full digitization fee.
- 03Specialists and approvalsWith a separate full-project quote approved, I compare a photo-scanning professional and a VHS conversion provider. The family approves each outside provider, quote and material transfer before work begins.
- 04Coordinate and check the workI track handoffs and deadlines, review sample digitized photos and recordings, and make sure the originals are returned as agreed.
- 05A family archive everyone can useI set up an approved private website or suitable archive platform, organize the delivered files, confirm access and backups, then show the family how to use it.
This illustrates a possible project process rather than a completed client engagement. Full-project coordination and specialist services are quoted separately, with your approval before work begins. I help you choose a suitable archive solution; you make the final decision.
MEET YOUR CONCIERGE
Real help from one person, from start to finish.
I first experienced the possibilities when I built a private family website for my parents. I realized that photos, old emails, texts, letters, recordings, and the stories behind them could become a living time capsule that relatives can return to, explore, and add to over time.
I also noticed why these projects so often stall. Families want to preserve their memories, but sorting through boxes, finding messages, putting dates to pictures, and making sense of it all can be overwhelming. The biggest barrier is often organization—not interest.
For 15 years, I’ve worked in marketing and business project management, dividing complex projects into smaller, achievable pieces and coordinating the people needed to complete them. With itsallkin, I use that experience to sort through the pieces with you, create a workable plan, bring in appropriate specialists when needed, and coordinate the project from start to finish.
Every family has its own stories and priorities. You guide the outcome, including what belongs in your archive and who can access it. I manage the agreed steps so the project feels possible rather than overwhelming.
HOW I CAN HELP
Clear fees for coordination. Specialists priced separately.
A free first conversation, a defined first phase, and a quote for the full project.
DEFINED SCOPE
First project phase — $200
After your free Family Archive Planning Session, I can begin with a fixed $200 phase of up to 2.5 hours of concierge work. I prepare a high-level overview of your collection, write a practical roadmap, identify initial provider options where appropriate, and carry out one agreed coordination action. I also explain the next phase and its likely costs. You keep the completed plan even if you choose not to continue.
- High-level collection and priority overview (not an item-by-item inventory)
- Written project roadmap with practical next steps
- Up to two relevant specialist options where available
- One approved first coordination action
- Next-phase scope and cost proposal; keep the completed roadmap if you stop
The $200 first phase includes up to 2.5 hours of agreed work, targeted for completion within 10 business days, depending on family and specialist responses. It is a one-time, fixed-scope phase—not a subscription. Digitization, full archive buildout, ongoing support and outside costs are not included. I obtain approval before additional work or outside spending.
ARCHIVE BUILDOUT
Archive buildout & ongoing support — custom quote
After the first phase, I can continue as your family archive concierge with a separately quoted buildout tailored to your goals. I coordinate approved scanning and media specialists, organize the resulting materials, oversee quality checks, help create a private family website or suitable archive platform, and guide your family through using it. I can also provide ongoing help with new memories, additions, family participation and upkeep as needed. I quote and agree on each scope before work begins—there is no automatic recurring charge.
- Approved specialist selection, coordination and progress tracking
- Organization, digitization oversight and quality checks
- Family website or archive-platform setup and family onboarding
- Optional ongoing additions, maintenance and support by agreement
The 30-minute Family Archive Planning Session is free. The first fixed-scope phase is $200; archive buildout and ongoing support are quoted separately for the work you approve. Scanning, conversion, restoration, hosting, subscriptions, shipping and other outside costs are additional. I seek approval before expenses or additional work. No automatic renewal.
A SIMPLE FAMILY ACTIVITY
Family story
night.
night.
One hour. A few old photos. A lifetime of memories.
MORE THAN ORGANIZING FILES
Bring the family into the story.
An archive is more meaningful when people help create it. I can plan and coordinate simple activities that bring memories to life—without giving everyone another app to learn.
- Family story nights and photo-sharing calls
- Interviews with parents and grandparents
- Photo identification and scanning afternoons
- Follow-up questions and cataloging contributions
I help with invitations, scheduling, questions, and recording plans. Stories and recordings are collected only with participants' permission.
Ask me to plan a family activityEXAMPLE PROJECTS
See what a family archive could look like.
Every family has different memories and different goals. Here are three ways I can bring photographs, messages, stories, and recordings together into an archive that's easy to explore.
FAMILY WEBSITE
The Morgan Family Archive
A private home for family photographs, important moments, and a shared timeline. I connect the pieces so relatives can find the memories that matter to them.
PHOTO COLLECTION
The Rivera Summer Collection
Photos arranged into summers, places, and decades, with stories added alongside them. I help turn a box of pictures into a collection the family can enjoy together.
ORGANIZED ARCHIVE
The Ellis Collection
Emails, photo boxes, documents, and recordings organized into manageable collections. I identify what's there, connect useful details, and make the next steps clear.
These are illustrative webpage previews, not links to live family websites. I keep family materials private or access-controlled and share them only with appropriate permission.
THE FIRST STEP IS SIMPLE
You don't have to have it figured out.
Tell me what you have and what you hope to preserve. I'll organize the work and help bring it into one usable archive.
