 StoryKeepers…

...Preserving the Light of the Past

  At some point in our lives, most of us hunger to know more of our ancestors.  We sense how deeply their journeys have affected our own and that to know their stories more fully is to better know ourselves.  For many of us, however, the only people who carried the knowledge we seek are no longer here to share it. 

Are you a story keeper in your family?  Do you hold in your memory the legacy of those who are gone?  The next generation in your family will someday want to know that legacy -  and they will want to know your story. 

Helping you preserve your family legacy is what StoryKeepers is all about. We offer several creative ways to help you preserve your family history.  Although families rarely gather around the hearth to share well known stories, they do gather around the television!  That’s why we offer packages blending together your photographs and narrative to make the story you have to tell come alive in a custom DVD production. 


Digital Legacy Video Packages

Video Family Photo Album 

You choose the photographs to include in your video and StoryKeepers will scan the photos, set them to music (you choose) and burn the video album to a standard DVD.  Included is a photo CD for reprinting and three copies of your DVD album.  Up to 150 photos and six title slides for $150.    

     Narrated Family Album 

Photos are priceless, but so is the sound of a familiar voice.  Looking through old photographs and scrapbooks always brings back memories.  Instead of music, we can add your own voice sharing those memories.  This option is ideal for narration of subjects like; your  family home place, your children’s school years, family members gone to war, favorite vacations, etc.  Starts at $235 (plus $1 per photo) for one hour of recording, editing, and three DVD copies. 

Legacy Video 

Whether or not you think so, your family will always treasure a visit with you “in person” on video.  You may want to tell your family history, your own life’s story, or share valuable life-lessons to be viewed by your grandchildren at some point in their futures.  Starts at $295 for one hour of recording, editing, and three copies of your DVD.  Photos can be added for $1 each. 


3 DVD copies per project.  Extra copies $15 each.

Don’t see quite what you want?  We can create some special combination for you.
