Personal Memoirs

  • Snap Shot Memoir

    The Snap Shot Memoir pairs narrative descriptions of your memories and stories behind a selected group of photographs.

    Without your personal remembrances, your family may have a vague idea of the faces and names of some of the people in your photo album, but not their history and standing in the family.

    The Snap Shot Memoir turns your dusty and mysterious photo albums into a living legacy document of family stories by capturing your memories and history of relatives that otherwise would be lost to time.

    The Process

    * Assist in identifying themes and groups of photographs to include in your book.

    * Three recorded interview sessions to explore the stories behind the photos.

    * Scanning, labeling, and minor restoration of up to 100 photographs.

    * Delivery of 10 copies of completed, bound and printed memoirs of approximately 75 pages.

    * Production time is ~ 16-20 weeks.

  • Mini Memoir

    The Mini Memoir is a short-form life story focusing on key chapters and meaningful events of your life which we will discuss over the course of our interview sessions.

    I approach the mini memoir with a strategic mindset. Before the interviews begin we will have completed a guided “map your memoir” worksheet that will outline the topics and memories you wish to explore, recall, and record.
