Taylor Schenker found about 200 family photos that didn't belong to her after Hurricane Helene .

She started the Photos from Helene Instagram page to help reunite them with their owners.

She has returned about 15% of the photos she has collected.

The photos have been returned to their rightful owners.

Becky Schenker said many families who lived in the same neighborhood before the hurricane have recognized other people's photos on the Photos from Helene Instagram page.

She said she chose her Instagram 's name because most of the photos we've seen come out of the hurricane show the devastation left behind but her photos are happy memories of Asheville .
