Manning|Watson was created in Brooklyn, NY, in 2013 out of her love for the photograph as object and her interest in family history. She has been organizing family photos since 2010. In addition to photography, she also loves growing plants, flowers, and herbs. She recently relocated to Providence, RI.

"Growing up, I loved looking through my family’s photo albums. My grandmother made these albums, choosing great pictures and writing in her captions on each page. They were a captivating, fun, and magical place to visit. I enjoyed going back in time to wonder at my family members, their lives, and experiences before my time. 

My experience as a photographer, and my lifelong love of the photograph as object, art, and document of memory inspired me to start my photo organizing business."
