Private photo archivist and curator.

Transforming generations of memories into timeless visual legacies.

  • Your memories. Curated to perfection.

    A lifetime of photos — scattered across devices, drives, and dusty boxes — brought together in one seamless, beautifully curated archive.

  • One timeless structure.

    No more searching. Every memory is meticulously organised, elegantly categorised, and intuitively accessible.

  • Complete peace of mind.

    Your visual legacy is not only preserved — it is protected. Backed up, secure, and future-proofed.

  • Here's what my clients have to say

    “I roughly had 100,000 photos on my phone and it totally stressed me out that nothing was organized! But then I met Danielle. She cleaned up all my photos and sorted them into folders! My mind instantly felt clearer & now everything is organized and easy to find. SO happy with it!!” - Roos Reedijk (interior designer)

  • Here's what my clients have to say

    “What a joy it is to work with Danielle. She takes all the stress away and has beautifully organized thousands of photos. I can't even put into words how amazing this is! From now on, everything is easy to find, and making photo books is finally something I can actually do.” - Lieke van Lexmond (actress)

  • Here's what my clients have to say

    “I can’t even tell you how happy I am with Danielle. I came across her online. She transferred ALL our DVDs, CDs, VHS tapes, and cassette tapes onto a hard drive! Hoooours of footage, and I can’t stop watching it!!!! Honestly SO HAPPY WITH IT!” - Anouk Smulders (model)

  • Here's what my clients have to say

    “Danielle and her team did an amazing job! All our pictures - from years back - are finally well organized. I could never have done this without Personal OPA. Their service is beyond and we are very grateful for what they did! Thank you Danielle & team!” - Emilie

Every story deserves to be seen.

I work one-on-one with a select number of clients to create highly personalised photo archives that are as meaningful as they are beautifully constructed.

Whether it’s decades of analogue film, digital images scattered across devices, or home videos stored on obsolete formats — I bring everything together into one clear, accessible structure.

Your archive may include:

  • High-resolution digitisation of prints, negatives, VHS, DVD, Hi8 and more

  • Smart categorisation of all digital files, all duplicates removed

  • A cloud-based system that’s safe, searchable and private

  • Personalised hard drive or keepsake box (upon request)

  • Optional printed photo albums, curated by theme or era

  • Beautifully crafted home video’s, bringing those memories back to life

All work is carried out with the utmost care, confidentiality and attention to detail. Wherever in the world you are.

Hidden treasures, rediscovered.
Forgotten moments, once lost in storage or trapped on obsolete devices, are brought back into view — ready to be seen, shared, and cherished once more.

  • Step 1 — Discovery

    We begin with a private consultation (online or in-person), to understand your needs, your materials, and your vision. Discretion is always assured.

  • Step 2 — Collection

    Your photos and videos are carefully collected, wherever they are — from your iPhone, your cloud, hard drives, drawers, attics or storage boxes.

  • Step 3 — Curation

    I assess, clean, sort, de-duplicate and catalogue everything. This is where the magic happens — bringing order and clarity to your memories.

  • Step 4 — Legacy Archive

    You receive a complete, beautifully structured archive — digitally backed up and optionally delivered in a physical format of your choice. Ready to enjoy, share, and pass on for generations.

I work with a limited number of private clients each year — including high-profile families, public figures, creatives and estate managers — who value privacy, personal connection, and deep care.

This is a completely bespoke, human-to-human service. I personally oversee every aspect of the work, from start to finish.
