My passion for cataloging and preserving family memories began at a very early age, when I would help my mother maintain the family photo albums in perfect chronological order. She taught me to add dates, events, and names on the back of every single photo. I loved flipping through those albums and seeing my life unfold in such an organized and meticulous manner. I didn’t realize until much later in life that this degree of detail was a rarity in most families! After receiving a Computer Science degree and enjoying a long career as a database analyst and software developer, I merged my skills in technology and data management with my passion for preserving photos and natural ability to organize to launch Memory Forward.
​
Over 15 years later, I can't think of anything more fulfilling than helping our clients create a lasting digital family archive of photos and memories, which can then be accessed by friends and family, regardless of where the physical collection resides.

As a leader and veteran of this exploding industry who is dedicated to getting the details right and providing superior service and results, I am confident my team and I can help you tell your family’s story through photos and leave a meaningful legacy for future generations.

As the Senior Photo Operations Specialist here at Memory Forward I have the great pleasure of caring for and preserving your family memories.
Working with historical slides, damaged antique photos, and rare photo formats is a favorite part of my work here. As a classically trained painter with a special interest in portraiture, I’ve been trained to identify even the smallest facial detail. A mole or even the shape of a child’s earlobes can help me identify a person through time. My art education paired with over three decades of practice in Adobe Photoshop means I can repair and restore photos that have survived flood, fire, and the ravages of time.
I love ushering forgotten moments back to the modern era and it’s an honor to preserve your memories.

Hi! I’m Amberly, the newest member of the Memory Forward team. I became obsessed with taking pictures at a very young age and graduated with a degree in Photography from Texas State University in 2021. While I was in school, I worked as a digital technician for the University Library Archives. There, I learned a great deal about scanning and working with negatives from the 1950s and 1960s and this grew my already-established passion for old photographs.
I love getting to organize family memories everyday. As a kid, I used to alphabetize my Halloween candy and could only eat them in that particular order, so I have been naturally inclined to organize things my entire life. I believe photographs are a great way to save and relive moments and I can’t wait to bring order to your collections of photos!
