Answers to FAQs

Plan on 7-10 photos per minute of music...and I'll sync your photos to the music depending on how many people are in each picture.

A good length for a show that won't bore the viewers is 6-15 minutes.

YOU will preview the show online, ask for any desired revisions, and approve the final show.

Yes, you can add video and/or audio clips of family members speaking a personalized message (Happy birthday, etc.)

Yes, you can ask about adding any of your own creative ideas to the show. After all, this is "creative" photo services and slideshows!

YOU control the final price, because...YOU choose the number of photos and songs.

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!

WHY MY SHOWS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS

- professional scanning of your prints

- I Photoshop all your photos to make them look their best

- I coordinate the music to each photo

- I create a show with special effects suited to your photos, personal tastes, and your occasion

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!
