Contact me for an appointment and then...

1. Gather your items that need professional scanning, such as photo prints, negatives, slides, tintypes, certificates (marriage, military, graduation, baptism), flat artwork, kid's drawings, souvenir greeting cards, and such. Set up an appointment to bring them here to be scanned.

2. Email any digital photos from your smartphone or computer to carole@creativephotoslideshows.com. Or send me a link to your folder of photos in your Dropbox, OneDrive, or another cloud service. Or put them on a USB thumb drive to give me.

3. Choose any desired digital video clips. I can edit them if you can't. Contact me for ways to get them to me. Videos are usually too large to be emailed.

4. Choose enough of your favorite songs to go with your "photos." Plan on 7-10 photos per minute. You can use any music as long as you don't plan on putting the video on a social media website, in which case you need to own the appropriate copyright license to use it on the Internet.

3. Instead of a DVD, you'll now get the video on a USB thumb drive.

4. If you are local and bring me your photos during the COVID 19 pandemic, you'll have to place them on my little table by my front door instead of coming inside. Phone, text, or email to ask questions and place your order. I'll be happy to customize your show as much as possible! That's part of the fun for me!

4. In a few days after I receive all your photos and information, I'll email a link to your show. Watch it and either approve it or ask for a revision or two.

5. Pick up or otherwise receive your show and enjoy!

STYLING

Most shows have animated transitions and coordinated backgrounds to tell your story and keep the viewers interested. If you desire a less animated style, I will use the photo-by-photo organization with plain transitions. Because you have input, YOU get the perfect show for you and your special event!
