Digitize your memories…but do it right!

or worst of all: your precious memories.

Your photos, albums, video and film are a big part of your legacy. They’re irreplaceable and far too valuable to simply choose the lowest bidder or to try to do it yourself without knowing important factors BEFORE you start.

time to get Organized!

“A picture is worthless…
if you can’t find it”.

Kevin Gilbert
Famed Photographer

There are an estimated 1.7 TRILLION paper photos stored in albums, attics and shoeboxes.

The numbers of digital photos taken every day is also staggering. A survey of 1,169 regular photo-takers revealed that Americans now take more than 10 billion photos every month. This figure is bolstered by the ever-present smartphone which nearly 60 percent of respondents say is their primary photo-taking device.

You might be thinking that no one else could possibly have let things go so long and get so out of hand. If so, you would be wrong! We’ve worked with clients that had massive quantities of printed and digital photos, deteriorating in their basement or clogging up their hard drives.

We walk you through every step of the way, based on your time frame and budget. To get an overview of the process, check out the ABC’s of Print and Digital Organizing below.

And here’s the good news: once you get your media Digitized, Organized, Restored and Preserved, your reward will be discovering fabulous ways to share them. To get a head start on some inspiration, you can peruse our Gallery of Stories with samples of just some of our client’s Albums, Wall Art, Video Fusion Shows & Restorations.

Photo Restoration

Special Photos Need a Fix?  You’ve Come to the Right Place!

Most newer scanned photos need just little editing to look great. But, the fact is that older photos are fragile and no matter how careful you are, you probably have a cherished family photo or two that has become victim to water damage, heat, cracking, crinkling or other environmental factors, age or handling.

If you have a priceless photo (or photos) that are worth a little investment to restore, we can take a look at them and tell you if something can be done (not all damage is fixable), and the cost to restore them. And while we use AI tools, you can be assured that it’s a HUMAN making the judgement of what’s an improvement and what’s too much!

In addition to photo restorations, we also do background replacements and photo recompositions.

Album Restoration

Whether a traditional album or a cookbook, journal or scrapbook, we can restore your treasured heirlooms to look better than ever!

Family Albums such as scrapbooks, journals and even cookbooks are treasures, often put together with notes and journal entries on the pages, so the value is not only in the photos but in the pages themselves. We LOVE re-creating albums that have seen a better day.

Make sure to check out some of our Restorations in our Album Restoration Gallery.

Preserve Your Memories

There are two things to consider in preservation:

  1. Your original print media that you’ve digitized

  2. Your digital files

If you want to keep some or all of your physical media, boxes in your attic, basement or garage is NOT the way to store it. Physical media deteriorates when exposed to the environment.

When it comes to preserving your digital media, the three most important words are backup, backup, backup! Hard drives crash. Local backup files on an external drive could be lost in a fire or flood. And you may not be able to get online at a crucial time to access your files stored in the cloud. That’s why I recommend that you keep your files stored and backed up in all three places.

There’s a lot of software options available that not only help you organize, but preserve your memories for future generations. Unfortunately, there’s so many that it can get overwhelming! We can help guide you to the solutions that will help you preserve your precious memories based on your needs and budget.

Sharing your memories

Albums Galore!

Custom Designed (or Recreated) Photo Albums

Whether you need an album for a special occasion, a place for your piles of pics, a family heirloom re-created, or a remembrance of your keepsakes, our custom-designed albums are created with one goal: to tell your unique story.

For more info on our Custom Albums Click Here. AND, if you’re ready to be inspired, flip through some of our client albums in our Album Gallery.

Since the dawn of time, we’ve been telling our stories, from one generation to the next.

But in today’s mobile society, we run the risk of these priceless stories being lost, as they are rarely recorded.

However, if these stories ARE recorded, they are a priceless treasure in and of themselves even if you do nothing else but preserve them for future generations.

Once you get your photos, video, film & other memorabilia digitized, organized, restored and preserved, your reward is discovering fabulous ways to share them!

Photo Wall Art

Take Your Photos from Ordinary to Extraordinary!

One of the most common ways we display our photos is to put them in a frame and then hang them on the wall. It’s nice, but kind of ordinary. OR, we could take those same photos and make them extraordinary!

Photo-Video Fusion Shows

Beyond Slideshows - Memories that MOVE!

This genre is often called a slideshow or a montage, but those terms just don’t give justice to what we do. What we do is create an experience that is as special as the memories and lives you’re celebrating. It’s a wonderful way to commemorate an event but it also provides fantastic entertainment or a moving tribute at an event.
