TRANSFORM YOUR DIGITAL PHOTO MESS INTO TANGIBLE FAMILY CONNECTION
Confidently keep your precious photos safe,
organised and enjoy them every single day
At last count, you have somewhere in the 10s of thousands of photographs sitting in your camera roll, not to mention the thousands more sitting on your hard drive, that old phone, hmm there’s some in your Dropbox too, or was that Google drive? Never mind, they’re all somewhere in the cloud so you know they’re safe, right?
You are the Family Memory Keeper. Always the one with your phone out, camera app open, and everything at the ready to capture the next beautiful moment in your family story. You’re the one that your little family unit relies on to document the moments, to share them with the people that matter most to you, and to keep those moments safe, ready to reminisce about later on.
And you have SO many big plans for those photos! An album every year, something to show for all your adventures, a real celebration of what life is like right now. Let’s not forget about the stunning gallery wall you’re dreaming of, where everyone can pinpoint their place in the family and in your heart.
🥰💪You started off strong with those plans for your family albums didn’t you? Maybe you even got one or two printed.
(you love them even if the printing wasn’t that great, the colours were not quite right and there’s a streaky line through some of the pages).
🤔You really should get caught up on doing something with the rest of those photos…
😅Or even just start that album for your next child …
That is, when you have the time and patience to sift through those tens of thousands of photos.
😥Speaking of sifting through those photos, finding that one special moment you’ve been thinking of has been time-consuming and tricky.
Is it one of the photos “safely” stored in the cloud ?(and if so…is it in Dropbox or Google?),
…or is it on that old phone sitting in the third drawer down?
Or maybe you already filed it away last year when you got that burst of organisational energy and it’s in that way too detailed folder on your laptop?
😖You don’t even really know where to start looking for some of your most precious moments which is a bit worrying. When you do go looking you find yourself sucked down a rabbit hole, the conflicting feelings of the joy of reliving your other beautiful memories mixed with growing frustration, overwhelm and that nagging worry when you can’t find what you’re looking for.
😰Oh well – maybe you’ll pick it up another day, right now you need to get the kids into bed and lunches made
(or maybe you need to go and help buy bedding for their first flat and budget for their groceries? Sheesh, where did that time go?!)
IMAGINE IF
You could regain control of your digital photo chaos and use your precious photos exactly the way you’ve always dreamed of, free from overwhelm, frustration, and the nagging fear of losing them forever?
- You were totally confident that your photos and precious memories were completely secure, (rather than just putting blind faith in the cloud to have your back)
- You were totally confident that your photos and precious memories were completely secure, (rather than just putting blind faith in the cloud to have your back)
- You could effortlessly find that one specific photograph whenever you needed it, (without that nagging worry that the worst has happened)
- You could quickly and easily gather all the images of your precious family moments, free from the weight of overwhelm and frustration
- You finally achieve the dream of creating those regular family annual albums, preserving not only the big milestones but also the small moments of everyday life you never want to forget, deepening your family’s connection.
- The photos you take of your family and life’s precious moments looked just as beautiful as the actual moments themselves (rather than hoping you get one lucky shot)
- You knew which moments to capture and which to wholeheartedly experience, allowing you to be fully present while still documenting the important memories.
- Each photo you capture becomes a celebration of your family as it is right now, reflecting the depth of your family connection and the richness of your life experiences.
- Your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren could discover and cherish the legacy of carefully curated images celebrating your family story.
- Through documenting and protecting your family’s history in lovingly crafted photos, you cultivate self-love, self-esteem, compassion, belonging, and creativity in your family, shaping a positive future through the stories you share in your photographs.
Imagine if you had someone to show you every step of the way.
Introducing Memory Vault

MEET KATE
Hi, I’m Kate Ryan, your trusted guide on this journey to rediscover, protect and enjoy and make tangible the memories held within your treasured everyday photos.
As a professional photographer for 10 years and counting, I’ve had the joy of documenting every different kind of story you can imagine, from the big lifetime milestones of wedding day love stories, to the whirlwind of emotions that come with starting (and adding to) your family and watching them grow. I’ve had the pleasure and responsibility of seeing just how important photos are in the celebrations of our lives.
More than that, over the course of my life, photos have been my only way of connecting with some of the most important people that I’ll never meet – my ancestors. The ones who passed before I was even born, the ones who impacted my family and my life purely because they existed. Being able to connect with these people through the few images I have of them, and the stories and memories that they inspire is one of the defining ways I have come to understand who I am and what I am here to do in this world.
While telling my own stories through photographs (both real-life documentaries and those more creatively inspired) is something I have done long before making this my profession, nothing drove home the importance of my everyday photos more than my own milestone moments: becoming a parent.
Seeing my tiny humans grow and change before my very eyes minute to minute, grow out of clothes between naptimes, and develop into the people they are at an astonishing rate lit a spark within me. I found myself taking more photos than ever before, more often with my phone than with my DSLR. I was excited to create a deep record of our adventures to share with them one day, to celebrate their awesomeness and show them just how much they are loved.
These defining moments and the precious everyday stories that mean so much, are the reason I created Memory Vault
It’s a course for parents that gives you a system that not only ensures you keep your digital photos safe and organised, but also shows you how to tell the story of your everyday family life, how to create a living heirloom and helps you to create and nurture your family identity and connection.

Here’s what its like to work with me
I cannot recommend Kate enough! Over the past 6+ years, she has been there to capture both the special moments of my family and the professional shots for my business. Her calm and assured approach instantly puts you at ease in front of the camera, making the whole experience enjoyable.
Kate’s dedication to her craft is evident from the very beginning, as she consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect from start to finish. When it comes to the final results, I’m always blown away by the quality of her work. There are always plenty of fantastic shots to choose from, making it difficult to pick just a few favourites.
Whether it’s a family gathering or a corporate event, Kate’s talent shines through, and her ability to capture the essence of the moment is truly remarkable. If you’re looking for a photographer who produces exceptional images and makes the entire process a pleasure, Kate’s the one to choose.
Kate hits the mark, whatever the photography project, she gets it right. From personal, commercial, products and wedding, she’s my go-to photo expert. She makes the whole process easy and comfortable, her communication and connection with her clients is next to none. And, then at the end of the process, you have beautiful images you will treasure. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Kate created the most amazing family photos for us! Having two little kids co-operate for photos is always a challenge but Kate put us all at ease! She captured so many awesome shots it was hard to choose which ones I wanted printed!! I always get heaps of comments on the photos we did choose. Highly recommend Kate as she made the process so easy and the final product was outstanding!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I really want to join the course but I don't have time at the moment
A. I’ve built this course in a way that breaks down the system into small easily actionable steps that don’t take as long as you think!
Each module lesson is 30 minutes or less, and you can watch, pause, rewind and re-watch as often as you like.
You also get a checklist for each lesson so that you know exactly where you’re at, what you need to do and what the next steps are.
The course is fully supported so you have access to me during the live sessions and access to a Facebook community to help keep you accountable in taking the small steps towards protecting, organising and using your photos.
Once you have the system in place, it’s easy to maintain. You’ll spend less time and mental energy worrying about the safety of your photos, or feeling guilty about not having done something with them.
Your load will be lighter having this in place!
I already use Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive etc . Is this course right for me?
A. Memory Vault is about so much more than using a cloud system to store your photos! I teach concepts that get your photos truly backed up and that can be used across different storage platforms, no matter if you already have something in place or what your budget is.
Q. How do I access the course and modules?
A. Once you’ve signed up for Memory Vault you’ll get access to a student portal page which will give you all the next steps and information to get started. Before each live call you’ll recieve a a reminder email and link to join the call!
Q. Can you just organise my photos for me?
A. This isn’t a service I offer at the moment. Instead I teach you how and empower you to do this for yourself! You’ll be able to ask me questions during our live lessons and get support in our Memory Vault community.
I have photos absolutely everywhere - can I start Memory Vault before I find them all?
A. Absolutely, in fact, the very first module teaches you how to get started with this step.
Q. Can I start at any time?
A. This is a live course – we start with our first lesson/coaching call on August 14th 2023.
We’ll be working together LIVE for 10 weeks and then you’ll have access to the call recordings so you can refer back to them when you need to.
You’ll get the most value out of engaging with the content and community while we’re running through it live.
Q. What happens if I get stuck?
A. Don’t worry, I’ve got your back! During our coaching calls there is the opportunity for you to ask any questions you have and receive support. You also have access to the Memory Vault Students community where you’ll be able to ask questions between calls, share your progress, celebrate your wins and stay accountable to your goals.
I already use Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive etc . Is this course right for me?
A. Memory Vault is about so much more than using a cloud system to store your photos! I teach concepts that get your photos truly backed up and that can be used across different storage platforms, no matter if you already have something in place or what your budget is.
Q. Will I have to buy apps, software or hardware to complete the course?
A. This all depends on what you’ve got already and what the current state of your photo collection is. If you have plenty of room on a computer harddrive or cloud storage space, you likely won’t have to buy anything additional. If you’re maxed out on hard drive and memory card space already then I do recommend investing in a 1 TB external harddrive, which for most people will be plenty of space to keep you going for a long while. These range in price but start at around $80. Throughout the course I make recommendations for software and services that have both free and paid options – so it’s entirely up to you what you decide to spend your money on!
Q. Is this course only for iPhone/Mac users?
A. Nope – I teach you a system that can be used across any device/computer/brand. We’re not locked in to any one brand or service!
