How to Share Your Story

Now the fun begins! What can you do with your digital files? The options are endless!  Printed photos books, digital photo frames, slideshows, gift items, watching long lost videos…. Here we will show you just a few ideas we can help you with!

Preserve:

The most important thing is you have your photos duplicated so they are protected from any number of disasters like fire, flood, and theft. Make sure you have a number of copies in multiple locations.

Photo books:

A photo book can be designed any way you so choose. Popular options include; period of time such as one book of the best photos from that year, a special occasion such as a wedding, birth of a baby, Christmas or a vacation.

We can help make photo books if you don’t want to do it yourself, or help you find a vendor that will supply you with a quality book at your price point.

Photo slideshow:

A slideshow of your digital photos is a great way to see many photos in a fun way. They can be played on a laptop, a TV screen or a phone (if portability is important).  Whether memorializing a loved one, or sharing a child growing up played at a wedding, a slideshow can be part of the entertainment at any gathering. Connecting with our past and sharing traditions with our children is a researched and studied positive self esteem booster. (Phototherapy in Mental Health by David A. Krauss)

Prints for wall:

So many options; black and white, sepia, small photos clustered in a group. Printed on photo paper, special finishes to protect from UV light, matte, glossy. Printed on canvas, wrap around canvas, metal, wood.. We can help with getting your memories printed by our specially selected vendors.

Photo gifts:

There are a multitude of options in this category. Puzzles, memory matching games, blankets, pillowcases, magnets, stamps, mug, calendars. Ask if you have an idea and we can find the appropriate vendor to make your item(s)!

Nixplay photo frames:
