You’re buried in old photos and albums, mired in files of digital images and are the keeper of some of the stories of the past that only you know, many of which you know will fade.
Maybe you have a family member who knows the stories, and you'd like to give them a gift that invites them to share their memories with you and others in the family.
Perhaps you're getting ready for a special family event or there is a milestone coming up where you'd like to honor and celebrate a member of your family.
You're looking for help with gift ideas, and no time.
Let us help you create a Talking Pictures Slideshow Video!
BEFORE AND AFTER Your Talking Picture Slideshow Video
BEFORE
You’re buried in old photos in crumbling albums and/or boxes.
You have a family milestone coming up, and are looking to provide a gift that is meaningful.
You don’t have the time or the tech know-how to create a family history gift.
There is someone in your family you'd like to honor with a special gift that asks them to share stories.
AFTER
You have created a Talking Picture Slideshow video that is filled with an array of important photos and stories told in the voice of the storyteller.
Each person in the family has a copy of the slideshow video they can enjoy whenever they'd like. And that voice that is part of it will be particularly treasured.
You've taken a step to preserve the stories and images so that others in the family have the information and it can be passed forward.
If you've gifted a Talking Picture Slideshow Video, you've honored someone near and dear by asking them to share stories.
You know that documenting the stories only you and a handful of others know is important. you've got hard-copy pictures that will be lost some day if you don't do something to preserve them. You are overwhelmed and want to do something unique.
You want to give a valuable and meaningful gift that captures stories and pictures. Perhaps you are thinking of a slideshow video but you don't have time or know-how, and you want it to be polished and interesting.

Hello there,
The second of our children had flown in 2009, and I was in my mid-40s eager to switch gears in work as well. I wanted to do something meaningful, something that utilized talents and ignited joy. My husband asked, "If there were anything you could do for paid work (note the stress on pay!) what would it be? I said, "Drink coffee and listen to people share their stories."
With his support and lots of my naivete, I started Storied Gifts and a dozen yearas later there has been lots of listening. I love time spent with people when they share their stories, particularly during interviews as we flesh out the details and feelings too.
Talking Picture Slideshows provide a piece that not only captures stories but also preserves the voice of the teller. In hearing a person speak we are provided yet another layer of them that is intimate and meaningful.
Are you short on time, and looking for a pro team to help you create your Legacy Book?
