Most of us have boxes of old photos and slides stuck in boxes on a closet shelf or in storage. There they deteriorate, take up space, and serve no purpose since they aren’t readily available for viewing or sharing with friends and family. Unfortunately it’s usually the loss of a loved one that motivates us to drag out those old photos so that we can reminisce and share the memories of the dearly departed – for “memories are the most precious legacy we have after someone we love dies” (From Elements of a Meaningful Funeral.)
Perhaps because my Dad was a photographer, and I’ve followed in his footsteps, it fell upon me to search out, organize, and produce these memories . With the digital age came the opportunity to produce a professional looking memorial slideshow, usually set to the genre of music admired by the deceased. The production of a slideshow on a DVD provides a meaningful memorial to the life of the deceased and enables loved ones to remember the deceased through the years on occasions such as anniversaries, holidays, and birthdays. Moreover, the DVD medium ensures that images (and perhaps music) are safely archived for years to come. For additional details, see my page titled Slideshow Video Productions.
Because of the appreciative comments that I’ve received from spouses and family members for the digitally recorded memories of their loved one, this service has become my passion and my niche in photography. I’ve expanded this passion to the recording of all sorts of family memories – vacations, holidays, parties, anniversaries, reunions, school events, sports, and many others. There are few photographers available with my dedication to listen to the client’s needs, offer suggestions and alternatives for meeting those needs, providing personal service, and delivering a quality product. Please share this news with friends and family and remember me when you’re considering a source for the photographing, scanning, editing and/or production of past or future family memories.
