Jennifer Loomis (MA, Certified Photo Manager, Mylio Photos Certified Consultant) started her career as a photojournalist, covering stories across the globe, after completing her Masters in 1997. She later went on to become the pioneer of maternity photography, specializing in classic black and white photography and photographing more than 5000 women and their families including celebrities, major athletes and high-profile individuals. Her work was featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, LA Times, Seattle Times and on television like CBS Morning News, Entertainment Weekly (You can see a complete list and her current portfolio of photography here).
As a photographer for almost 30 years, Jennifer has developed a very specialized system for naming, organizing, curating, archiving, and backing up her body of work which consists of millions of professional and personal images.
In 2018, Jennifer started offering her system of photo organizing to long-time clients who came to her looking for a solution to their growing nightmare of personal and professional images spread out over multiple devices and locations. Then people heard about the service and started bringing her boxes and boxes of albums.
Jennifer realized this was a big stressor for everyone because there were a lot of images, no one had proper training in the creation of systems to organize, and on top of that, no one was adequately backing up their images or preserving their heirloom images correctly causing decay and loss of priceless family photos.
She wanted to help; she knew she could make a HUGE difference; and she was and is a story teller with photos for most of her life. Signature Photo Organizing was started to help preserve their special memories, to tell their stories, and to create a system for them to pass these stories down to their loved ones.
Sarah Maglaras graduated from the University of Washington in 2018 with a degree in Interdisciplinary Arts and a focus on photography and videography. She started her photography and creative business in 2018 and began working for Jennifer in 2019. Since then she has become Jennifer’s studio manager and Senior Editor for Signature Photo Organizing and Jennifer Loomis Photography. Sarah builds websites, helps with photo editing and organizing, and is working with Jennifer to expand the photo organizing and curation services.
