Meet Holly

certified professional photo Manager

Thank you for visiting Capture Your Photos. We are SO glad you’re here.

How we take and share photos is completely different today than it was only 10 years ago. We’ve gone from taking a photo to capture a moment, to using photos to communicate our lives. The result…people are completely overwhelmed with the number of photos they have, as well as the ever-changing technology. In addition, those old albums, printed photos, and boxes of memorabilia need some love. They’re getting crispy and faded and need to be preserved if we want to tell our family stories.

Our goal at Capture Your Photos is to help you breathe easier. We want to help you organize and preserve your memories in a way that future generations will love and embrace your stories.

Testimonials

Sandy M.

Holly has helped me to find and organize 25 years of photos that were located in shoe boxes, bags, and deteriorating albums! Holly showed me how to get them all into an accessible format so that whole family could enjoy them! She has great methods and I can do it myself now! My whole family is having fun with my discoveries. Digitizing is the way to go for us since we are all over the country and albums are never in the right place. Thanks Holly!

Jill M.

Huge thank you to Holly Breitenbach Corbid and Capture Your Photos. I'm so excited to have everything all organized in a way that works for me! The entire experience was top notch. Holly was SO patient about everything. She worked around my busy schedule and took lots of time to explain things in a way that a non-techie can understand. I highly recommend her!

Holly P.

Thanks so much for doing a great job putting a book for my mom together! You are so talented, and I will continue to rave about the book and how great you have been to work with. YOU ROCK!

Suzanne H.

I'm teary every time I look at it! My mom alternated between calling it ‘priceless and’ saying it was worth 'thousands and thousands' of dollars. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, and I will always cherish it.

P. Iverson

The Photo Organizing Blueprint is a fantastic course that I highly recommend. Holly has thought of everything and is terrific at explaining how to go through the process. I loved her step-by-step instructions – they were straight forward and easy to follow. Holly’s honest about the process and gives you heads-up about steps that might seem frustrating at first but she’s so encouraging you know you’ll be able to accomplish every step. You can tell she’s got loads of real-life experience in organizing photos and preserving memories – her tips and tricks are great additions to the process steps.

Angie D.

We are so thankful to Holly Corbid for completing Cameron’s ELC book. As he approaches his senior year, it is a great memory book sharing his whole trip. She also was so kind to add more pages just about Cameron & us. Our special parent letter to Cam, faith, friendships, photos, learning, fun = amazing memories.

Stacey K.

The most valuable part of the process with Capture Your Photos was the personal touch combined with attention to detail. I knew my precious photos would be in good hands with capture my photos. When the project was complete, I was satisfied and relieved to have figured out how to save and share important family photos.
