Preserving your visual legacy
At My Beautiful Life Story, I preserve your visual legacy by Scanning Photos, Scanning Slides, Collecting the stories that accompany your images AND make sure those memories are available for generations.
Memories, like photos fade away & time is fleeting. Think of all the stories you wish you could hear one more time (See Durfee Family Service Station video here). You know, there will be many stories you wish you had written down.
Stories Fade Away
The MOST common statement I hear from clients is : “I wish I had asked/learned more about…. (Insert topic here______) from Dad, Mom, Auntie, Cousin, Grandmom, etc when they were around.”
I can relate. I scanned 75 photos from a shoebox that had been hidden under my Dad’s bed. Afterward, I spent months sleuthing the collectiong doing ‘photo forensics’. Imagine, ‘meeting relatives’ I had never known. I’ve spent the past two decades untangling the stories captured within photos I had never seen before I was handed that shoebox. As I learned more I realized how messy and unknown was much of my family’s personal history.
Preserve your visual HISTORY today!
I help you avoid that process by saying, yes, life is busy. But if preserving your family history stories and organizing your photos has been on your to-do list, there is no time like now to make it happen.
Family history savers love My Beautiful Life Story. They wax poetic with their testimonial’s, like this one from Homer Speer who was the keeper of his family history.
It’s a fact that memorabilia, slides and images incorrectly stored can become a real mess to salvage. Photo albums that aren’t archival can damage images. Storing photos near a heat source can make photos curl or become faded. Water or fire can make images unrecoverable. Your collection needs help!
