What backup service do you recommend for photos?

For digital cloud backups, we recommend Backblaze to save and secure ALL your photos and documents. You can schedule automatic backups on your computer so that you can have peace of mind.

Can you create a video for an upcoming funeral or memorial of a loved one?

Yes! To create a tribute video, we interview the client and family to make sure we have a full understanding of who they are, their personal history, and their relationships.

Then we review the photos the family has selected, and organize them in a timeline that tells an engaging story displaying the full range of emotions and activities that made up that person’s life. Contact us to find out more about how we can help create a slideshow that honors your loved one.

How can I find out more about what you do?

We offer a free 30-minute phone or video consultation so we can get to know you and find out more about your photo management goals. Ask questions and get answers.
