Why choose Chaos to Memories?

With 25 years of experience in technology, photography, and design, our founder Adam Pratt was made to help you organize your family photos, preserve your memories, and tell your story. His professional and life experiences have equipped him to help our clients create a Family Photo Archive that’s safe, searchable, and shareable.

1. Best Quality: Family Photo Archives are important projects, which is why they should be done the right way the first time at the highest quality. All scanning is done locally by hand with museum-grade equipment, at high resolution, and using optimal digital file formats. 
2. Industry Expert: Adam trains other professional photo organizers through online courses, 1:1 coaching, and at conferences and workshops on all aspects of scanning, organizing, and sharing family photos. He’s also an award-winning industry leader who helps develop best practices for professional photo organizers around the world. 
3. Industry Standards: We organize your photos for today and for generations to come, so all our work is based on industry standards for photo preservation, organization, and backups. 
4. Technology Veteran: Adam worked at Adobe (the makers of Photoshop and Lightroom) for 22+ years in a variety of technical and training roles. He was the first person in the world to earn the distinguished title of Creative Suite Master and was also honored with a Founders’ Award, the most prestigious employee award at Adobe. 
5. Experienced Photographers: As a seasoned photographer, Adam has been managing large photo archives for more than 20 years. Most of our staff are pro or serious photographers, and that experience helps us handle your photos with care and respect.
6. Excellent Communicator: Adam has written and edited 15+ books on popular Adobe software including Photoshop, Lightroom, and Acrobat. He can answer your questions with simplicity, explain technology with clarity, and communicate with transparency throughout your project. 
7. Privacy And Integrity: The trust and privacy of our clients are essential to our business. Other than the trusted partners we use for photo prints and albums, the Chaos to Memories staff are the only people who see and handle client images. We treat our clients how we would want to be treated, with integrity and respect. 
8. Local Business: We live and work in Wheaton and all the scanning, converting, and organizing for your project is done locally in our studio. This means there’s no outsourcing, and no overseas work.

We love our work and have a strong sense of purpose helping families enjoy their memories again. We’d love for you to choose Chaos to Memories for your Photo, Video, and Film Reel Family Archive Projects. Contact us if you have any questions or need help with a project.
