Let me guess: You love your photos, but you don't do much with them. That's a problem.
Perhaps that’s because you can’t find them. Perhaps it’s because they live in the cloud, and you’re not sure how to sync them. Whatever the reason, we need to get your photos back into your life.
I want you to be able to enjoy your photos instead of struggling to manage them. You took them for a reason, remember? So let's make those memories count!
DPO PRO is the only course on the market that showcases the full photo organizing process along with the concepts, compares and explains the differences between all the different programs out there, and walks you through everything step by step, using in-depth tutorials.
We help you finally get a grip on your digital photo mess. Consolidate, deduplicate, and organize with our step-by-step proven processes.
Join us today to create a lasting legacy for yourself.
I get it. I've been there.
... I was you! I used to be disorganized. It wasn’t that I didn’t care, but I had no idea about where to start, which program to use, or why I should pick one over another. I just knew I loved photography and wanted to care for my memories properly.
I threw myself into the digital world and eventually I figured it all out. Sure, it took time, but it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made because it led me to a career I could never have predicted.
Then, in early 2016, after many years working as a professional photo organizer, I finally sat down to create this course for people like you, who might be that earlier version of me …. the person I was before it all changed!
And let me tell you, if I can do it, you can too!
GO FROM…
Frustrated & overwhelmed with all all the options out there – Lightroom, iCloud, Google, Amazon, Bridge, Dropbox, Mylio … What should I use???
Total clarity on your choice.
GO FROM…
Paying to constantly upgrade storage accounts because you don’t know what’s there or how to declutter. The scary folders are real and they’re multiplying!
Only paying for what you need.
GO FROM…
Worrying about losing photos by accidentally deleting them. You’re not sure what you’re doing wrong and how to fix it! You’d love to keep your photos safe in the future!
A solid backup strategy.
DPO stands for “Digital Photo Organizing.” A pro is what you become when you complete this course.
DPO is not a new field, but it’s also not a well known field - at least not yet. It used to be that only companies needed help managing their digital assets, but the technology revolution has left the average person with a collection big enough to rival even the largest of companies. When you add in videos, documents, and other types of files that also end up in our collections, it can quickly get overwhelming.
DPO PRO was created to help you learn the life-long skills you need to manage your photo archive and keep it safe. If you’re the "designated family historian” or a modern "content creator," this is perfect for you!

"It was a huge value. And for a whole year? Wow. All your videos. All your resources. All the things you get. It's unbelievable. For everything that you're getting, it's a good deal."

You’ve got so many duplicate photos that you don’t know which ones are the originals … and which ones to delete?
You’d love to share that one photo with your family, if you could only remember where it’s stored … or what device it’s on …
You’ve got cloud storage (Hello Dropbox!), but you’re not sure how it all syncs … If I delete here, does it delete there?
You’d love to create more with your photos, but you feel like being disorganized is standing in your way …
You’d love to use a photo management program, but you’re not sure which one is suitable for you, or which version to get …
You’d love to add keywords and other metadata to your photos, but you’re not sure how go about it so it “sticks”…
Your photo archive is perfectly organized, and you have no problems or questions around how to maintain it in the future. You know what you're doing.
You know how to handle duplicates, and you don't worry about deleting photos at any given time. There is no tech learning curve for you because of your experience.
Your subscriptions are under control, and you know what each one is being utilized for, and why. It's all on purpose. No digital graveyards here!
You have no desire to create or do anything with your photos. They don't serve any time of marketing purpose, and you have no big interest in preserving family history.
You feel like metadata is a waste of time, and you'd rather let AI take over when the day comes. Cloud storage is so cheap anyway that curation isn't on the agenda at all..
You have a good idea of what program to use, if and when you're ready. No need to debate the selection. You're doing just fine with your photos as-is!
"I thought I had a pretty good photo organizing system. Having Mac, iPad, and iPhone, I use Apple Photos to organize all my photos, sync among devices, upload, create albums by year and events, and share some photos with family and friends. It was all very easy and convenient till my hard drive got full. At that point, I was stuck on how to continue. Taking DPO PRO was a godsend to me and it gave me exactly what I needed.
The course was easy to understand and offered great tips, options, and resources to help me create a long-term photo organizing system that works for me. It also taught me that I should not just think of today’s convenience, but think about preserving all my memories for the long-term future. I can’t imagine how sad and angry I would be if I were to lose all those photos!!"

I'm really glad that I joined the VIP tier because I get to ask questions in the coaching sessions, and it's just so much easier to talk about it than to try and formulate a written question when I don't have the exact words. And the workshops have been incredible with huge a-ha moments. I've gotten something from all of them.

If you’re on the fence, or if other trainings have left you a little broken-hearted, you have the opportunity to experience DPO PRO at no risk. Try us out for two weeks, and if you don't like it, you get your money back. We back that up with a 14-day, money back guarantee because we know that if you do the work, you will see the results.
... and I'd love to be your coach on the journey towards better organization!
As a Professional Organizer, specializing in digital photos and family history, I’ve been helping people just like you preserve memories for more than a decade.
There’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing the joy on my students’ faces when they relive memories they haven’t seen in years, and when they feel the relief and peace of mind it brings to know that their collections are safe and secure.
Oh, and about me?
Well, I don't normally tout my own horn very much, but in this area, I know what I'm doing. Simple as that. I’m a Golden Circle member of NAPO (the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals), plus a Certified Advisory Board Member and Masterclass Coach to The Photo Managers.
Add to that, a Master’s Degree in Media Management + a past career in Photography, and you’ve got someone who’ll care for your memories like they are her own.
I will not let you fail.
Let’s do this together! 🌸
The big thing for me was the coaching.
Knowing that I didn't know enough to do this on my own was the deciding factor.

This program is not designed to be a quick fix because quick fixes don't work. In order to make sustainable change happen, we need ample time to implement what we learn. We do this in smaller steps, which is why most students are with us between three and twelve months or more. There is a lot of information to absorb, depending on your incoming tech level, so we recommend you pull up your sleeves and focus.
This is an action-oriented program. Do not enroll unless you are open to showing up. In order for you to get organized, you need to follow our roadmaps, complete the work, and apply yourself - just like how you would in regular school.
We cannot do the work for you. If you prefer outsourcing, we recommend you hire a pro to organize for you.
This program is not "a collection of videos you could have watched on YouTube," and there is no fluff. This is a proven framework put together specifically to give you a step-by-step approach to organizing your photo collection. Each lesson builds upon the next to facilitate learning.
While both courses are identical in core curriculum content, the VIP course has support in the form of monthly group coaching, a private community, and time-saving bonuses (see above for complete list) to help you succeed. VIP course students receive access to monthly group coaching calls where they can ask questions in real-time, troubleshoot, and get feedback on their work. It’s more of an experience.
Yes! So many people have storage issues, so that’s one of the first things we tackle in this course. Whether you are in the cloud, use a computer, or are syncing photos mobile devices, we will help you with your space management.
We completely understand that these types of projects can feel overwhelming for any tech newbie, but you’ll be OK.
We will do everything we can to help you succeed. The course starts from the very beginning, and includes content on how to use your operating system (how to move files and folders, etc), how different programs are set up, and what to look for. The entire module of digital basics is there to bring you up to speed on what you need to know before you start moving files around.
If you’re a complete beginner, we always recommend the VIP version as you’ll be able to get personalized feedback and coaching included. Support helps tremendously!
Great question! The time it will take for you to complete the course will depend on a few things, for example how many photos you have, how much time you have to work with the program, and what type of tech skills you have.
The course is meant to be completed within 90 days, but we have had clients take much longer and we have some that have taken much less time. The program’s running time is approximately 6 hours of video, but you have continuous and on-demand access, so there is no actual deadline for finishing your organizing project.
If you work better with a deadline and want one, email us and we’ll set one for you. If you enroll in the VIP version, you will received monthly group coaching for a period of one year to give you ample time to finish, but that can also be extended on an annual basis for an additional cost ($220).
Yes! While we show you tutorials in the three most popular photo management programs on the market (Photo Mechanic, Apple Photos, and Adobe Lightroom), there is no rule that says you can’t use another one.
We have had plenty of students who have used Adobe Bridge, Mylio, Google Photos, and others! We’ve even had students who opted to not use a program at all and just work in the operating system. We teach you how to drive – what type of car you have doesn’t matter that much.
Not directly. This course teaches you digital photo organization. However, we realize that many of our students also have a lifetime of printed materials, so it’s something we discuss quite a bit in our VIP calls. We also have a workshop on printed photo in the archive, which you get access to if you enroll in one of the higher levels. Alternatively, you can purchase that stand-alone as well.
If you would like guidance on your printed photos too, enroll in one of the two VIP plans, so that we can assist you more in depth. In the monthly group coaching calls, you can ask about anything, and in the private coaching, we can work on whatever goals you have.
You can use either a Mac or a PC to get your photos organized because the course includes organizing options for both operating systems. We even have a video on Mac vs. PC, so you can see what’s similar and what’s different. We do not showcase Linux, and if you use that, you already have the tech skills to work this out on your own.
Our course is designed to educate you on photo organizing, and not to promote a specific product, service, platform, or software. This course is free from advertising, which makes it more costly to run than if we were partnering up with advertisers. We believe that this independence maintains the objectivity we value and lets you have a biased-free experience.
We understand that this course may seem expensive compared to other online courses, workshops, and resources you have purchased in the past, but we are actually very competitively priced for our industry. Please remember that this is a very in-depth course that teaches you life-long skills. You will learn directly from sought-after Professional Organizers who do this for a living. The average cost for a private organizing project is around US$20,000, and this is a suitable alternative if you’re willing to put in a bit of work yourself.
On our VIP and Private plans you get support for an entire year, which is also much longer than the average course on the market.
Once you join DPO PRO, you get access to all the lessons (modules) instantly, so you are welcome to watch them in any order you want depending on what you are doing. Of course, we always recommend watching them in sequence (especially for beginners), because most lessons build upon each other, but you can skip around if you so choose. Skipping around does not affect the content in any way. There is no time limit on when and how many times you can watch the videos as long as you are enrolled.
Yes. This course explains and recommends industry standards, but it does not require you to follow them if you should choose not to do so. We simply want to make you aware of what they are, so that you can make an informed choice.
You have 12 months from date of enrollment to book your 4 calls via Zoom – instructions will be provided to you on how to schedule. The calls can be spaced out or done in closer proximity, but we recommend scheduling one call for every stage of the organizing process for best results.
Our monthly coaching calls are generally held on the third Thursday of the month (11 AM Central US time), but we have a system set up for you to be able to submit your questions, even if you cannot attend live. We answer all pre-submitted questions first on our calls, and then we provide time-stamped replays, so that you can quickly locate your answer. In between coaching calls, you also have access to community and email support. All coaching call schedules are posted well in advance, so you will have ample time to schedule them into your calendar. You can set up automatic reminders by RSVPing to the events in our student community.
Yes, we do. More information is available here. Send an email to hello@theswedishorganizer.com, or book an appointment to discuss your project.
We are happy to answer any questions you might have. You can use the chat button to your right to chat with us, or send an email to hello@theswedishorganizer.com. We'll get back to you as soon as possible!
Look, I know what you might be thinking.
“I’ll get to this someday.”
In my opinion, that’s not good enough.
Your memories are too important to ignore. The longer you wait, the more the mess is going to snowball.
The longer you wait, the bigger investment of time, energy, and resources it’s going to take to get organized again. And the longer you wait, the more your memories are at a risk of tech crashes and fails! I’ve been there, remember?
Sure, you can ignore it all and just keep upgrading your cloud storage, but that’ll only compound the problem over time, and…who wants to sift through thousands of photos to find one good one anyway?
Let’s not go down that road.
Take this journey with me, and imagine what it will feel like, when:
☑ You can enjoy your memories again without worrying about accidentally deleting something.
☑ You get to relive old memories from the past with your family and friends.
☑ You can find the photo you are looking for within a minute without scrolling… and scrollling….and scrolling…
☑ You have a photo management system that supports you, not the other way around.
☑ You are proud to pass down an organized family history and leave a legacy for future generations.
The question is: are you willing to make the effort?
I think you are, or you wouldn't have made it this far down the sales page.
Am I right?

"In desperation about the hodgepodge of digital photos that were scattered around unorganized in my life, in July 2020, I found info about Caroline Guntur’s DPO PRO class. I signed up and devoted the early Covid-19 lockdown months to working through the modules offered in the class. The class videos were very informative and enlightening.
I gathered thousands of digital photos from many locations — old phones, old computers, CDs & DVDs, plus emails & text messages. I went through them all and discarded many duplicates. I formulated a naming convention for pictures, that I have now begun using for all my digital files. Along the way, I had many questions which I emailed to Caroline. Her patience is phenomenal, and her always-attentive care and prompt responses helped me immensely.
I also learned so many useful things in this class that were not directly related to organizing photos. For example, I now have an automated system that backs up my entire computer daily, in addition to a cloud-based backup system that I already used.
For me, the cost of the DPO PRO class was a hefty financial investment, but it has already been worth every penny. Caroline is a wonderful teacher, and I think of her as a friend, though we have never met."
