Outstanding!! Thank you, Benita. We just moved my 97 year old mother and, in downsizing, a large cedar chest with family photos has come home with me. Your guidance has given a thoughtful, simple way to begin sorting through them. Can't thank you enough!!

[@BenitaLarsson]

I’m so happy if this is helpful to you!

[@jayalexander6798]

I find sorting through photos so overwhelming that I can't even think of starting. This made it seem a little more atteinable. You are incredibly patient, disciplined and organized.

[@peachpathfinder]

My mother moved overseas, and to prepare her for the big declutter, I had her watch some of your videos along with some on Dostadning. She pared down to one medium-large suitcase of clothing and just five banker boxes of personal effects, three of which are being stored with me in the States. I became the keeper of all the family photos, and I must've thrown out one large black rubbish bag full initially, and now I am doing the secondary cull. This is by far the most helpful video available, and I just appreciate you so much! Thank you, Benita! ♥️🙏🏼🌻

[@BenitaLarsson]

Oh wow! What at great accomplishment! I’m so happy if my videos have been helpful. Thank you so much for the love!💕

[@sabinegoetz1448]

Wonderful and so very helpful. I went thru this process many years ago after my parents passed. It was interesting for me to process the different emotions that arose. As I have no one to leave photos to when I eventually pass, the process of what to keep was a bit different than those who have children and siblings. I sent some photos to extended family who I thought may enjoy seeing them. I kept very few for myself. There was some sadness realizing the photo life of my parents wouldn't continue on. My own photos from my youth were much easier to declutter. I gained much insight into myself, and I am comfortable with my decisions. Beautifully filmed Benita.

[@anaalves3658]

I loved how you sorted and organized. I need to do that with my old photos. Now how do you declutter and organise digital photos, can we have a video on that as well please 🙏🙏🙏.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Christine-ib5hf]

I would love to see a digital photo decluttering and organise video as well, thanks Benita for your great content and channel x

[@BenitaLarsson]

@@Christine-ib5hf You can actually use the same technique on digital photos. Just think of your computer desktop as your physical one and files on your computer as the box lid trays and later cardboard box!

[@brifren2]

@@BenitaLarsson Yes but what do we do when we also have copies of files with thousands of digital photos in our computer but also saved on external hard disks for fear of losing them? I find it managable to declutter and find duplicates on my computer but what about all the photos/files that were saved outside the computer? How can we compare the files in the hard disks and on the computer without risking to lose photos? I'm generally organized but this is so overwhelming and something that makes me very anxious because I'm thinking of my children and grandchildren and do not want to leave them a big mess...

[@JacyOnTheFly]

Where was this video when I needed it during the pandemic when I sorted through about 3,000 photos, that ranged from my parents' youth to my 48-year-old current situation?😄 It took forever to categorize and sort, but that was one of my big quarantine accomplishments.

[@iriswelch3553]

I did this last year! I threw out two full bags of duplicates, bad shots, negatives, etc. I arranged them chronologically and some went into albums. I try to go through my phone once a year, print a few shots, and then delete everything. It feels so much lighter, and years from now my kids can enjoy the albums which are labeled so they will know what they are looking at! Great job!

[@BenitaLarsson]

Great job you too!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@francesbonatsos3329]

This is so helpful!! I had my children go through all the photo albums I had created and let them choose what they wanted. I still have several bags of pictures in envelopes that I never got around to putting in albums and old photos I took when my mother passed away 11 years ago. I’m going to use your sorting method and pair everything down to one memory box to keep for myself. Thanks for sharing this🙂

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful!

[@gweno9901]

'Random pigs' made me smile. We seemed to have lots of animals and bird photos (in addition to photos of our own pets) so I've put some of them in an album to look at with my youngest grandchildren.

[@BenitaLarsson]

That's such a cute idea!

[@carolinesmith5730]

This is absolutely the video I needed! What a great gift you gave your mom.... the time and decisions are endless! I appreciate all of your ideas, and the box lids are brilliant.I am so overwhelmed by pictures that I am not sure how or where to start. SO thank you so very much for these ideas.

[@prairierose1115]

Thank you for making me feel better about tossing all my negatives!

[@BenitaLarsson]

There are so many ways you can get photos reproduced rather than to have dig around for the negative!

[@Kim-jy8cz]

Yes, the negatives were also hard to decide how to deal with! Thank you!

[@librarylady6mena368]

Brilliant, what a well composed and useful video. Bravo, Benita! Your cinematography keeps getting better and better and the subject matter was so creatively and clearly explained. A classic. Thank you.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you so much!😊

[@dellnichols4625]

I also did this recently with many, many boxes and albums of photos. What a chore! I was able to get rid of 90% of the photos (I had to laugh at your “backs of people you don’t know”). I did not get as far as categorizing, so will definitely utilize your idea of a box with dividers!

[@alexisquinn2784]

Detailed, concise and specific. Brilliant video, and in my view, your best yet. Your guidance has helped me, and l believe it will help people everywhere because it demonstrates this is a project that can be completed in a timely way with your example.

[@aussieanne6812]

Your video has made what seemed like a monumental task into something more manageable. I too have MANY photos to sort through and your approach gives me hope that I can do it … though I’ll be keeping a few of the “thumb” photos of a Europe trip with my mother, father and sister. Dad was notorious for accidentally edging his thumb into photos, so having a few of these photos are a funny reminder of a wonderful trip 👍🇦🇺

[@BenitaLarsson]

Yes to keeping thumbs if they’re part of your family travel history!🙌🏻

[@traceymp1405]

Hello Benita! 😃 Incredibly organized ~ I love the step by step breakdown (this was so relaxing to watch)❤ We have an incredible amount of photo albums (my mom was so organized like that) - they are very heavy to move - I have many bins full of albums (memories). This is giving me some ideas on how I can possibly combine some of those albums - I know that everything can all be done digitally but I love pulling out the albums, turning the pages, and my mom also wrote underneath each photo (names, dates, and places) - I really don't know how she had all the time to do that, my mom was always so busy! 💓💗💓 Thank you again for sharing - I am going to pull out my kids baby👶 albums and reminisce tonight! 🌼🌷🌼

[@BenitaLarsson]

I made quite a few albums for Wille and they’re SO heavy!😅

[@mimi1578tube]

Thank you so much for this video! It’s the best one I’ve found on the process of sorting photos and decluttering them. I appreciate hearing your thought process!

[@anamariapolgar5146]

Benita, I am a die hard minimalist, but when it comes to photos, I will and make all the effort to keep even the ''irrelevant'' ones. It's a snapshot in time, it's as important for the future generation as it is for us looking at Victorian photos or generally vintage photos. I feel like printed photos and books are for me, above all stuff to be decluttered.

[@justafan3888]

At the start I felt overwhelmed, but as you finished I felt inspired. Maybe I can do it too.

[@BenitaLarsson]

You totally can and like I said it doesn’t have to get done in a single session!

Thanks for the suggestions and ideas to sort photos. I think that is one of the hardest items to deal with when decluttering. I have set aside time coming up in the winter to do this project as weather is bad and good time to stay in and work on this! Reminding us to use archival paper and boxes is also helpful. I also had many photos in frames and never hung up and I now have removed all the photos that I want to store, Any suggestions for oversized photo's? Great Video today.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I would try and find archival sleeves for the larger ones and a bigger acid free goat box to store them in.

[@amarkovmpls]

Thank you so much for this! I feared this piece might be kind of distressing because organizing photos is a massive undertaking that I've been putting off, but you've offered a lot of really helpful, useful suggestions. A couple of comments in re. marking the backs of photos. You're so right that writing in pencil is the way to go, and I would also add that using a soft-leaded pencil is preferable so as to avoid pressing too hard and creating embossed writing on the photos' fronts. Similarly, when using ink, a soft, maybe felt-tipped pen rather than a ball-pointed pen is gentler on the photos. And in either case, writing along the edge of the photos' backs rather than in the center isn't a bad idea in case there is bleed-through to the image over time. "Random pigs" made me laugh out loud. Thank you!

[@BenitaLarsson]

Great points, thank you!

Are you an only child Benita? It can be difficult to try and do all the things you'd like to do when living further away from a parent. Would your mum consider downsizing and moving closer to you and wille.? I think most elderly parents might find that too difficult even if they would like the idea. The last couple of years I have been distributing family photos to my daughter's. Going between lovely memories and " what were you thinking getting my hair cut like that"😃. Even though said child chose the pixie haircut those many years ago . memories vary:) we had fun sharing that activity.

What a great video Benita! When we downsized my grandmother and mother i digitized and sorted by branch of family and subject and gave a backup copy to each of the extended family to share. They loved it. My error I think ( maybe not error but my stage of life) is I want to go back to digital files and cull because they are too big to be enjoyable for us. I created a book of a few subject areas for gifts and let go of all the paper copies to kids and family. My mom still has the albums that we can hold up for her to see and rest of us have a lighter closet and nothing to sort when she dies, sisters can share them. I think some kind of folder of best of best and let files go so we actually enjoy them now that they are preserved and shared already. ❤️🇨🇦

My grandparents were born in the 1920's and lived during the great depression so they saved everything!!! There are pictures of not only my grandparents and my Dad and his siblings, but of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Friends, Great grandparents, great great grandparents and so on. I also discovered a while back a box of negatives. I originally wouldn't want to keep negatives but I happened to keep some of the older ones from the 30's, 40's and 50's. I actually took pictures of a few and uploaded them to a site that transfers them to positive images. There were a lot of negatives that I had never seen printed copies of.

I started this very project before the pandemic. I stopped because I got overwhelmed. That may have been because I started digitally scanning all of my photos. I thought I should do this because we live in a hurricane prone area of the US, and it’s not possible to evacuate and worry about bringing any photos. AI thought having them digital would be good in the event the hard copies were destroyed. I wish I had thought of using stacking trays, that would have taken up less space in between working sessions. I abandoned the project, and no I didn’t take it back up during lockdown. I just ended a contract job so I have some free time again-maybe I will start again using your very helpful advice. I looked up articles on the subject and never found any thing as straightforward and helpful as this. Thank you once again! Loyal follower since your blogging days!

On another topic, might you do an exacto knife tutorial sometime? How you selected your tools (exacto blade and holder, cutting mat, straight edge, triangle if you also have one of those). I've never learned that skill but I'd love to have it, likely applying it in ways similar to yours. Thanks for all the great content, Benita.

Decluttering family photos is a long process. Like you, I got rid of duplicates, bad shots, unknown people, flowers, and scenes that didn't have meaning. My first sort was by date, ah but that didn't work. Second try has been by family and date, hoping this try will work. This was helpful to know, I am on the right track.

[@tuttsclumpcottage7911]

Thank you Benita! With thousands of photos to sort through you have given me a starting point. I had already started to only take pictures with people several years ago when I realized that noone will want the "pretty flower, landscape, or street scene" when I am gone. Some photos are used for reference in my paintings usually for the colour remembrance but once used I declutter.
