About Me
Welcome to Summy Photo Solutions!
My name is Callie Summy and I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I love working with my photos and helping others with theirs.
My passion for my photographs started when I was quite young. Slides made up most of my parents’ and grandparents photo collection and I always enjoyed the slide shows and their stories when my grandparents came to visit. The slide boxes were roughly labelled but the printed copies were not. My world changed when my grandmother showed me a few photo albums that she had on her bookshelf. The photos in the albums were labelled with names of those in the photos along with dates and where the photograph was taken. This brought life to the photos and this sparked my interest in my family history of who they were, where they came from and how they lived their lives.
When I was 12 years old, I was given my first camera. This began my journey in organizing photographs. Following my grandmother’s example, the developed photos from each roll of film were added to a photo album labelled with dates, names and where the photo was taken. The photos were easily accessible for others to look at with visible information about the photo.
When I got older, I started scanning my family’s photo collections, organizing them into a system. This enabled the now digital photos to be easily located for sharing and providing back-up to preserve and protect for others to enjoy.
I enjoy working with my photos and I enjoy helping others find a system that works for part or all of their photo collection.
Let me know if you would like me to help you.
