Remember, no reminiscing.
You have many photos to go through. If a photo
stays in your hand longer than 5 seconds, you're
reminiscing.
Take all of your photos and put
them on a large table. You will have two
sections: a "yes'' section and a "no" section.
If photos are stuck in albums, that's okay.
Use post-it notes to number the photos and to give
any special directions. Always remove photos
from albums when possible.
"Yes" section will include:
1) All candid photos that show character and
personality.
2) Photos where people are doing something
positive and fun.
3) Photos that cover the
most important moments that took place in your
family's history. Try to include a couple of
photos from every year of each family member's life,
if possible. Remember, only the highlights.
Put the "No" photos out of sight. Now
decide how many categories you wish to have.
Categories may include: Great Grandparents, Grand
parents, Mom & Dad, First Born, Second Born, Family
& Friends, Trips, Grandchildren, etc.
Place the photos from each
category in the individual stacks. Put the
photos from each stack in the order you would like
them to appear. Next, pressing as lightly as
possible, number each photo (on the back) with
a #2 pencil. Title and number "manila folders"
with the name of each category, the number of photos
and any special titles or instructions, you wish to
include.
If your want to describe every
memory in detail, come to our studio so we can
incorporate "your Voice-Over" with instrumental
background music. This removes excessive
titling. |
