👋 About Gina

Hi! Thanks for checking out my website. I'm Gina Embry, and I've been a Creative Memories advisor and team leader for 29 wonderful years!

I help you turn your photos, stories, and memories into albums, so they're always right there in your hands to look back on, enjoy, and share with the people you love. I call these “lifetime treasures”!

My passion is giving people the time and space to actually work on their albums while having fun with friends. I love bringing people together into communities where they can create side by side, cheer each other on, and turn album time into real connection. That's what my studio sessions, events, and retreats are all about!
