Mollie Bartelt is a leading expert in photo organizing, and Krista Kowalczyk has spent over 30 years as a full-time professional photographer. Between the two of them, they’ve written books, spoken on stages, appeared on national television, and helped thousands of people care for their photo collections.
But what people love most is the way they teach together.
Mollie will happily remind you to delete junk photos, while Krista insists there are never enough pictures — a debate that usually ends in laughter.
They both love helping people reconnect with their photos, keep their pictures safe… and they both love a good sail-away party on a cruise too!
The Great Photo Voyage is where they bring the education and fun vibes together for one unforgettable week.

Celebrity Beyond
As if a week surrounded by fellow picture people wasn’t enough, we get to do it aboard the absolutely stunning Celebrity Beyond.
Celebrity Beyond is one of Celebrity Cruises’ Edge Series ships, designed with beautiful contemporary spaces, incredible ocean views and more than a few places that will make you stop and reach for your camera.
You’ll find 32 restaurants, bars and lounges, the three-story Grand Plaza, the open-air Rooftop Garden, a gorgeous two-story Sunset Bar and the famous Magic Carpet, a cantilevered platform that extends over the side of the ship as high as 13 stories above the ocean.
But here’s the part we think every Picture Person will really love:
This ship is ridiculously photogenic.
If you notice beautiful light, interesting architecture, a perfectly presented meal or one little design detail everyone else seems to walk right past, you’re going to have a lot to photograph.
There are sweeping ocean views and dramatic spaces. Beautiful restaurants and colorful cocktails. Unexpected textures, art and architectural details. Gorgeous places for portraits and plenty of “wait, stand right there... I need a picture of you” moments.
Want the beautifully styled food photo? Take it.
Want the sunset reflecting off your glass? Take it.
Want the selfie in front of something ridiculously cool? Absolutely take it.
And perhaps the best part is that you’ll be on a ship with other picture people who completely understand why you stopped.
You know the gorgeous Caribbean destinations will give us plenty to photograph. I promise you, Celebrity Beyond will too.
