Curious

We strive to always ask questions and continue to learn and change with the evolving world and technology.

Conscientious

We hold ourselves to the highest level of integrity to always do the right thing - no matter how difficult. This includes honesty and delivering high-quality results as well as doing our best by the planet, embracing diversity, and valuing individual experiences.

Sincerely, Katie Borsi

Hey there! I’m a sentimental, old soul who loves stories.

Proudly raised in Geauga County and a graduate from Kenston High School, I’ve lived in Northeast Ohio my whole life, with the exception of my 4-years at Ohio Wesleyan University. My family goes back a couple of generations in Northeast Ohio and Cleveland, which includes a stonemason who worked on the Hope Memorial Bridge downtown, now famously the symbol of the Cleveland Guardians baseball team. I love my hometown for its rich history and its amazing parks systems - my husband, Andrew, and I adore biking on the Tow Path that runs from Cleveland to Akron.

Outside of my love for history, bike-riding, and Cleveland, I am quite curious, creative, and bookish. I love doing things with my hands from cross stitching to painting furniture to cooking up a Mediterranean dinner. And while I’m doing something with my hands, I will very often be listening to a romance audiobook or watching an educational YouTube video.

My photo organizing journey began when I experienced the joy of watching myself grow up through the photo slideshows my dad put together. Ever since I've been gathering the skills to share the stories of my family and friends through their photos.

Every step on this journey has been paved with love, and I adore celebrating that love often through deep-conversations, thoughtful words, meaningful gatherings, and snapping pictures.

Assembling photos is an act of love.

Partnering with families in a deep, meaningful way is an absolute honor and privilege. And what I bring to the table is not only expertise, but a big heart.

Need some cold, hard credentials?

Valid!

I take your family memories very seriously and treat them as if they are my own. Your trust in my knowledge, expertise, and intuition is paramount.

As a lifelong learner, my education, experiences, and growth are always at the forefront of my mind. Because of this, I became a professional member of The Photo Managers, an educational organization for photo organizers around the world.

To get an up-to-date list of my trainings, certifications, and credentials, please visit my LinkedIn Profile.

And if you're curious, ask me what I'm learning about!

It all starts with my dad

Voraciously curious at heart, my dad - Karl - picked up photography and technology skills in the 1980s that led to a career in information technology and a life-long passion for photography.

Scrapbook Timeline

If I get to see your photos, its only fair you see some of mine.

My dad's slideshows

When I turned one, my dad made a slideshow video of photos and clips of my first year set to the lullaby soundtrack that lulled me to sleep every night. He went on to create more of those videos as I grew up.

Let's See How Far We've Come

My childhood friends mean the world to me. When I was in my teens, I made a video slideshow of pictures of all of us growing up set to some of our favorite songs.

I went on to create individual slideshows for my friends, making their parents my first clients.

To keep a long story short

I gained many valuable skills and connections throughout college at Ohio Wesleyan University and my work as an account relationship manager in the audiobook industry. My career experience can be viewed on LinkedIn.

Wait, Photo Organizing??

I joined the The Photo Managers professional organization to level up my expertise in organizing, digitizing, and sharing photos.

At the Columbus 2024 conference, I met my greatest industry supporters.

2024 Sincerely Kept Launched!

The journey here took immense time, curiosity, and support from my closest family and friends.

Needless to say, there is much more to come!

My old, sentimental soul would be honored to help keep your memories remembered.
