Your photo collection is unique, and your investment in preserving it is, too. Your collection will likely include photos and memorabilia in varying sizes and conditions, and we handle each item with the care it deserves. We’ve refined and updated our skills since we started in 2010. Choosing to work with us is more than just swapping your time for ours.
This craft requires specialized tools, a passion for photography and preservation, a dedicated space, and focused time to do the work. It also requires us to keep our technology up to date. It might seem like magic when we turn the finished project back over to you, but I can assure you there was no magic wand. We’re committed to staying current with our technology and knowledge to prepare your collection for future generations.
Let’s start with a conversation and see if we are a good fit for you.

What do we scan?
Printed photographs • negatives • slides • heritage documents • scrapbook pages • albums • letters • artwork • memorabilia • certificates
If you don’t see it on this list, just ask.
Our results give you the flexibility to enlarge prints and create those lovely full-bleed pages in your photo albums. If you’re looking for “just a quick scan,” we’re probably not the best fit. We automate with software when possible, but producing the quality we expect requires human intervention and expertise. Our process, methods, and pricing might not fit your requirements. Unfortunately, we can’t adjust the quality to lower the per-piece price.
Along with your original images and materials, we will provide your digital images on a hard drive, thumb drive, or agreed-upon cloud service. If you like, we can provide additional copies as a backup or for family members. Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a family website? We can help with that too.
Printed & Digital Photo Organizing Services
You’ve got the photos, and we’ve got the dedicated experience, knowledge, equipment, and time.
It’s hard to put a price tag on this work, as each collection is unique; while best practices run through all our projects, custom work is involved. If you’ve got a large project, we’ll complete an inventory and assessment to provide an estimate before the real work begins. We know our clients don’t like surprises and neither do we, so this helps us set the right expectations around the overall cost of your project. If you’ve got decades of photos that you’d like organized and digitized, your investment will be in the thousands, not the hundreds. That’s about as close as we can get without having a conversation and seeing your collection with our eyes. Sorry..
Custom Photo Book & Family History Books
This could be the ultimate goal of your photo collection. After we’ve organized and digitized, we can now pull it all together into a custom book that tells the story of your family. Maybe you’re finally ready to put that wedding album together. How about that amazing African safari trip?
Your photos, stories, and written word are all individual pieces until you bring them together into a finely crafted book. Let us help you bring it all together in a timeless, beautiful style. We can show you samples of our books so you can start to imagine the possibilities.
Custom book pricing starts at $650. Most book projects are more than $650. Pricing varies widely based on the complexity of the project.
If you’d like to know more about the book design process, let’s start with a conversation and discuss your vision.
Video Conversion & Film Capture
If you’ve got photos, you’ve also likely got some video cassettes and film stashed in some boxes somewhere or in the cabinet drawer under your TV. While we’ve always helped our clients manage these items, we’ve recently started doing this work in our shop. If you’d like to convert your old video cassettes to a format you can share and access easily, without the old equipment collecting dust, we can help. Below are the video formats that we convert to digital.
VHS • VHS-D • Mini DV • DVCAM • Digital8 • Hi8 • Video8 • DVDs • Film Reels
We can schedule an in-person consultation or a virtual call to show you some of samples. Call us now if you like! 443-542-1316
