$250 / session
You can book a session as many times per year as you would like. We recommend Annual or Semi-Annual (every 6 months).
Keyword Sessions
Make your images searchable by adding keywords to your digital photo files. Keywords are used to Identify people, events, locations, and more.
We will rename your files to reflect the Year-Month-Date they were taken and add 3 important keywords to the filename.
All other keywords will be added to the digital file’s internal properties (metadata). The more keywords added the more searchable the images become.
Adding keywords and identifying people is a great way to pass down your family’s history to future generations as this information sticks to the photos digitally.
