A new "business" adventure...

It's no secret that we take a lot of pictures.  We think a picture says it all, and we see the value in capturing memories in a 4x6 or 5x7.  A few generations ago, memories were preserved using 35mm slides.  But these days, everything is going digital.  That's where we come in!


We've started a part-time "business" out of our home.  We put "business" in quotes because we're not sure which direction this will go.  So far, business is BOOMING... our first client was my dad, and our second client was my mom.



We have inherited a Nikon Super CoolScan 5000.  Seriously, that's what Nikon named their scanner!  And with the Nikon Super CoolScan 5000, we are able to digitize your 35mm slides.  It's easy.  You give us the slides, and we will scan and edit them for only .35 cents per slide.  We will then return your pictures to you ready to be shared digitally with the world through social media, prints, or created into books using various websites like Shutterfly.  The options are unlimited.

Here are some priceless classics from our last project.  We love every little detail about these photos, including the glasses, clothing, couches, and hair-dos.











Things we know how to do... how well we do them is anyone's guess: teaching (how-to add/subtract fractions, write a persuasive essay, the process of photosynthesis), fill cavities, run, make a quilt, swim, lift weights, play volleyball or golf, read, bake, and sew.

Things we have no idea how to do: start a business.  

So here it is... our first attempt at a small business!  If you have slides that are snuggled up under a blanket of dust in the basement or garage, or you know of someone, send them our way.

  2. Oh my gosh, I'm loving those pictures of your family when everyone was younger. I didn't know Brook was such a toehead! Awesome. Except you don't make much money off of my ogling.

  3. Wow Kelly, what a great and worthy idea for a business. You may keep yourself busy just with family if the word gets out! I have some slides inherited from ...who knows where... that I may just have to mail over to you! You ARE your father's daughter!
