Your Photos for Enjoyment

Get your photos out of the cloud and into your hands so they can be viewed and shared. I produce premium custom photo books, slideshows featuring photos and videos, and other showcases for your precious photos. Perfect for family gatherings, graduations, and weddings! I can also help you choose the best cloud or online storage service that will help you store and share your photos in a way that works for you.

Slideshows

  • Custom video slideshows with or without music created using your photos and video clips. Perfect for family reunions, weddings, and graduations.

    Cost: Starts at $240 for 60 photos/video clips

    • Factors that increase the cost of slideshows include the number of photos/video clips to be included, if you select the photos to include or if you’d like me to choose from your photo library, etc. Contact me for a custom quote based on your needs.

Premium Photo Books

  • I have two methods of designing and creating premium photo books for clients. I offer a free consultation to talk about what you’re looking for, and then we can talk about which photo book method is right for you.

    Cost: Starts at $300 (including design and cost of the book)

    • Factors that increase the cost of photo books include whether you select the photos to include or if you’d like me to choose from your photo library, desired book dimensions and number of pages, design techniques used, paper quality, etc. Contact me for a custom quote based on your needs.

Just have a photo-related question?

Contact me anytime to ask me your photo related questions! I’d love to talk photos with you. I’ll give you a short answer if possible. If not, we can schedule a one-hour coaching session for $80. Topics I’ve helped people with include:

  • Selecting the best cloud storage

  • Advice on the latest apps and technology to organize and view your memories. (I sometimes post on my blog about this, so be sure to join my email list so you don’t miss any posts).

  • Best practices for backing up your photos and memories

  • How to tackle specific organizing issues, like what to do with the mountains of kids’ artwork that piles up every school year

  • What to do about damaged photos and media

  • Using photos in genealogy research

How It Works

  • Step 1: Reach Out

    Schedule a call, or find my email and phone number at the bottom of the page. We’ll talk about your project goals and estimated cost, and schedule a Gather Session if you’d like to move forward.

  • Step 2: Gather Your Items

    Gather Sessions can be in-person (for Wausau clients) or virtual. I’ll pick up your items to be digitized, cloud service logins, and other things I’ll need to complete the project. A deposit of 50% of the quoted amount is due to get work started.

  • Step 3: Relax

    I’ll do all the hard work! I work with three to four clients at a time, and most projects take 4 to 8 weeks. I’ll keep you informed of when you can expect your completed project.

  • Step 4: Enjoy Your Memories!

    I’ll deliver your completed project, reviewing my work with you and providing recommendations to safeguard your photos long after we’re done working together. You’ll pay your final invoice and enjoy your photos again!

It all starts with a discovery call.

No cost. No obligation. No sales pitches. Just a quick chat with a photo nerd who can answer all of your questions.
