The Details
  1. Call me at (509) 455-5336 or email me at debbie@gratefulheartproductions.com and let’s decide what you want your finished photostory to say. We will discuss the kinds of things that can be included such as: favorite poems and quotes, favorite music, awards…all the things that make our lives more successful than we sometimes realize.
  2. Choose photos that provide a sense of the person’s history. Photos should have the full range of emotion from very silly to very sentimental.
  3. Package your materials carefully for shipping so they will not be damaged. Ship them in a manner that is traceable and/or insured. I will return them in the same way.
  4. Turn around time is a minimum of 14 days, but the more time I have to work with you, the better your outcome will be. If you are planning a show for a wedding, graduation or birthday celebration, you usually have plenty of lead time. Planning three months ahead allows for time to ship materials, have a time to review the completed show, and make changes or additions that you may decide about later.
  5. Memorials are something you generally cannot plan ahead and need a finished photostory in a short time. I can do rush jobs on short notice with a quick turnaround for an extra charge.
