Holiday Special! Give Your Elders A Gift That Becomes a Family Treasure

Every photo holds a story. But too often the story fades with time.

So what is the gift?

I call it “Behind the Frame” — This is a two-hour guided storytelling session where your parent or elder shares the full story behind a meaningful photo. Through an unhurried conversation, I help them explore their memories and craft a beautifully written keepsake that contains their photo and story, in their own voice. This can be preserved and passed down.

How it works:

• They choose a photograph of a person they loved, a defining moment, or a meaningful object

• We spend time together — two hours of relaxed conversation that draws out the story and often leads to other memories

• I write and polish —I transform the conversation into a beautiful narrative

• You receive a lasting keepsake — 3 copies of a professionally-crafted story to preserve and share

This is a perfect gift if:

• You want meaning over materialism

• A loved one likes to reflect and share

• Family stories are slipping away

• You want to bridge generations

• You want to give your loved one something unique

Cost: $250 for the special— (normally $300)
