Friend,

The Heartbreaking Reality of Last-Minute Photo Scanning.

As photo archivists, we see families in crisis—desperately rushing to scan old photos after a loved one has passed. It’s a heartbreaking trend that no one talks about. While people put off digitizing their memories for “someday,” that day often comes too late.

The story concerns families with similar regrets: “I wish we had done this sooner—when they were still here to tell the stories.”

With nostalgia booming, disasters are wiping out entire photo collections. There’s never been a more important time to talk about why families need to digitize now—not when tragedy strikes. This USA Today article reports on one such experience -- racing to digitize a lifetime of photos for a memorial service.

I can share real stories, expert insights, and the emotional reality behind this growing issue. A news profile on this unreported topic will help people digitally preserve their photo memories before they become memorials.

Let me know if you'd like to chat and for more info, including innovations from same-day scanning + instant file uploading to your inbox and using GPS tracking devices to follow your order from start to finish.
