Memory preservation — Miami
The box in the closet is the family archive. Let's treat it that way.
I digitize photos, slides, DVDs, and VHS tapes by hand, here in Miami. The files go to the cloud, organized and shareable. The originals come home with you.
01 — What I Take
If it holds a memory, I can probably digitize it.
It arrives as a box. It comes back as the same box, plus a cloud folder the whole family can open — sorted, labeled, and backed up.

Photographs
Loose prints, framed pictures, whole albums. Scanned carefully, one at a time, and returned exactly as they came — down to the order in the album.
- Prints & albums
- Slides & negatives
- Framed photos

Home video
The tapes still play — for now. Tape degrades a little every year, whether or not anyone watches it. Sooner genuinely is better.
- VHS & VHS-C
- Camcorder tapes
- DVDs & MiniDV

The delivery
Everything lands in a cloud folder organized by year and event, ready to share with your kids, your siblings, your parents. I'll show you how it works.
- Organized cloud folders
- Backup copy on a drive
- A walkthrough, in person
02 — The Promises
These aren't policies. They're promises.
- Your originals come back. Every print, every tape, every slide — returned to you, in the condition they arrived.
- Nothing is deleted. Ever. Not the blurry ones, not the duplicates, not the embarrassing haircuts. You decide what stays; I just make copies.
- It never leaves my hands. No shipping your memories to a warehouse across the country. The work happens here in Miami, by the person you handed the box to.
03 — How It Works
Three steps, and the box comes home.
-
Hand me the box
We meet, I take inventory with you, and you keep a copy of the list. You always know exactly what I have.
-
I do the careful part
Scanning, capturing, and organizing by year and event. Slow work, done properly, one memory at a time.
-
Everything comes back
The originals, a backup drive, and a cloud folder your whole family can open. I'll sit with you until sharing it feels easy.
04 — Start
Fifty years of photographs deserve more than a closet shelf.
Call and tell me what's in the box. I'll tell you honestly how long it will take and what it will involve — before you commit to anything.
