Meet Jerry: Your Photo Organizing Partner
Hi, I'm Jerry, the owner and photo manager of Photo Fly Memories. Like many people, I’ve always felt a deep connection to photos. From childhood through raising my two wonderful daughters, photos have brought me happiness, calm, and a sense of togetherness.
My first creative job involved photo and video for a major Brooklyn Hospital where I produced videos, took photos and converted all sorts of media including VHS tapes to then DVD. Back then I could see how technology was changing so fast and the need to help people. My first business was videotaping weddings all over Long Island and the NY Metro area. I shot weddings at Tavern on the Green, The St. Regis Hotel and Fox Hollow Country Club.
The Photo Fly Memories Difference
🎉 BIG NEWS! I am SO thrilled to share that I have officially earned THREE certifications from The Photo Managers — the nationwide recognized authority in professional photo management! 📸
✅ Certified Photo Manager
✅ Certified Printed Photos Specialist
✅ Certified Video Montage & Slideshow Specialist
But here's what makes what I do at Photo Fly Memories truly special — and why I believe it matters who you trust with your family's photos.
The way I work is a lot like being a museum archivist. 🏛️
Think about the care that goes into preserving a priceless painting or a centuries-old artifact. That's exactly how I approach every single photograph I handle. Because to me — and to your family — those photos ARE priceless.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
📌 I photograph each image ONE AT A TIME using a state-of-the-art, high-resolution digital camera with professional staging lights — so every capture is sharp, clear, and evenly lit.
🧤 I wear white or nitrile gloves when handling every photograph — because your memories deserve that level of respect and care.
⏳ This process takes time. It takes patience. It takes a lot of TLC. And that's exactly the point.
This isn't a scan-and-ship operation. This is personal, local, hands-on care — and you'll hear from me regularly with updates every step of the way.
When you work with me, you're not shipping your irreplaceable photos off to a stranger across the country. You're working with someone local, someone you can trust, and someone who genuinely treats your memories like family. ❤️
More Than Just Photos: It's About Family
My lifelong love of preserving memories inspired me to help others do the same—to organize, protect, and relive their stories. I can’t think of a more meaningful purpose. And in honor of my Butterfly Mother, Thelma, I named my company Photo Fly Memories.
Photo Fly Memories meaning:
Memories – It’s more than just photos; it’s about holding onto life’s most meaningful moments.
Fly – Short for butterfly. It symbolizes freedom, movement, and giving those memories “wings” to live on digitally.
"We felt like Jerry truly cared about our family photos. He treated them with such respect and delivered an organized system we now enjoy every day!"
