A simple, supported process from start to finish.
No tech overwhelm. No guesswork. Just clear steps and beautiful results.
How it works
-
Project Snapshot
You’ll start by filling out a short Project Snapshot form. I review your details, then we’ll have a quick chat. If we decide to move forward, I’ll provide a contract, estimate, deposit request, project timeline, and clear communication plan.
-
Gather
You provide your photos in the way that works best for you — whether by local pickup/drop-off, cloud sharing, USB, or external drive. I’ll guide you through the process step by step.
-
Sort & Organize
I bring order to your collection by removing duplicates, grouping photos by event or timeline, and creating a clear foundation for your project.
-
Design & Create
Your photos are transformed into a custom keepsake — whether that’s a photo book, slideshow, or organized digital or print archive — designed with care and intention.
-
Final Touches
Every project gets careful finishing details. From refining layouts to checking image quality, I make sure your keepsake feels polished and ready.
-
Delivery
Your finished project is completed and ready for delivery. Once the final payment is made, I carefully send your keepsake — ready to revisit, enjoy, and share for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my photos are a mess?
That’s exactly what I’m here for! No need to sort or clean anything beforehand — I’ll gently bring order to the chaos, without judgment.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the size and scope of your project. Once I know more about your photos and goals, I’ll give you a personalized estimate up front.
Do you work with clients outside of Iowa?
Yes! Most of my services are offered virtually, so I can work with clients anywhere in the U.S. For local clients in the Iowa City–Cedar Rapids area, I offer drop-off and pickup options.
Will my photos be safe and private?
Absolutely. I take privacy and security very seriously. Your photos will never be shared outside the scope of your project, and everything is handled with care and discretion.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to work with you?
Not at all. I guide you step by step in plain language — no tech skills required. My goal is to make the process easy and stress-free.
How long does the process take?
Most projects take 2–6 weeks depending on size and complexity. After reviewing your intake form, I’ll provide a clear timeline so you know what to expect.
What if I don’t know where to start?
That’s part of my job. Just tell me what you have (even if it’s “a little of everything”), and I’ll help you figure out the best place to begin.
Can I give this as a gift?
Yes! I can create surprise albums, memorial books, or gift cards that make thoughtful presents.
