Telling Your Story

---

There are a lot of different elements that go into making the photobook you want. From choosing a theme to selecting photos to scanning and editing and photos, it can be a daunting task - and this is before the book design and construction even begins! I'm here to help.

Anniversaries, birthdays, achievements, memorials - even vacations - might all be something you want to commemorate. Perhaps you just have a box of photos or an album that you want organized or preserved. Whatever the reason, we will work together to discuss your goals for this book and I will walk you through the various elements that will be needed to make it possible.

We'll look through your photos and review your goals and then decide on a general theme for your project. This will consider the event, the subject, and other personal preferences and will help us select the right outline and template for the book.

Depending on the theme and subject for your book, we'll review your photos to determine the appropriate number for the book. This will involve evaluating picture quality, determining which photos best showcase your subject, and, when necessary, how photos can be adjusted to repaired if it's important that they be included. 

After your photos are selected, the next step will be to scan them to your computer, cloud, and/or private storage. From there, I will manipulate these images to determine what fits best where and also use photo design software to clean up images, improve visibility, brighten colors, and more.

Once the photos are selected, the theme is determined, and the template is chosen, I will begin the work of designing your book. This is collaborative process though, as you will be part of the review and approval at various steps throughout your book creation. Throughout the process, you may decide that you want to add new  elements or would prefer a different direction. We will take whatever steps we need to make the book you want.

After the photos and them are chosen, the photos are uploaded and improved, and your book is created, it is yours to have and share. Everything from hard and digital copies to even creating a video of your book will options you can pursue. At this point, your photos will be presented in a way that tells the story you hope to tell and creates a lasting anthology.
