Introduction Whether you’re an individual, family, community group or small business, you have a story to tell. And we love helping you tell it!

Our work at Your Memories At Hand and Your Biz Story Told actually falls into two baskets. The first basket is what we call D.O.R.P.s: an acronym we use for the process of helping our clients to Digitize, Organize, Restore and Preserve.

However, it’s the second basket (the“S” in D.O.R.P.S. - the Stories!) which is the heart of what we do. And telling your stories is what this Idea Book is all about!

In addition, photos, video and film are the foundation of the BEST gifts, so if you’re looking for an unforgettable present, whether for a birthday, anniversary, graduation or other occasion, this Idea Book is sure to give you lots of ideas.

FOR HOME, FAMILY & FRIENDS: “The business of life is the acquisition of memories. In the end, that’s all that there is.”

Carson, Downton Abbey

Fusion Videos - Way Beyond Slideshows What in the world is a Video Fusion Show? This genre is often called a slideshow, but that term just doesn’t describe what we do. Think about taking your best photos and video clips, put together with music or even narration to tell your story in the most touching way that you can imagine. Our Fusion Shows not only provide a wonderful commemoration OF an event, but can also furnish great entertainment AT an event, while providing a special keepsake for years to come.

Custom Albums - Digitally Designed and Created (or Re-Created) Whether you need an album for a special occasion, a place for your piles of pics, a family heirloom re-created, or a remembrance of your keepsakes, our custom-designed albums are created with one goal: to tell your unique story.

OTHER UNIQUE WAYS TO TELL YOUR STORY: Declutter Without Losing the Memories!

Collage Prints: If you have a lot more pics to display than wall or shelf space to display them, a fantastic solution is custom designed collage prints.

Keepsake Albums & Wall Art: If you’re downsizing or just out of room, you don’t have to part with special keepsakes. Three-dimensional collections can be preserved and enjoyed in keepsake albums and wall art.

Re-Created Heirlooms: Scrapbooks, Cookbooks, Memoirs and More: We can re-create your heirloom to look just like the original. OR, we can add photos, backgrounds and other embellishments to make your album or book just as special as when it was new.

Record Your Stories & Preserve Your Legacy

Then incorporate your stories into: Memory Albums or Fusion Videos

FOR SMALL BUSINESS & NON-PROFITS: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.”

– Peter Drucker

If you own a small business, are an individual entrepreneur, or work with a non-profit, you have a story to tell. And we love helping you tell it!

Fusion Videos For Business You’re on the move. And your story is best told when it’s on the move too! Using your images, video, music and/or voice over, we create shows that will wow your audience…at a price that the small business can afford.

Business Catalogs & Portfolios We believe that every business deserves an awesome catalog or portfolio that tells its story, designed and priced for the small business.

Are you in a Complimentary Business? Let’s Connect!

Whether your work involves capturing new memories or managing old ones, planning special events or managing moves, partnering with us enables you to offer new services, expand your client pool, and free up your time to concentrate on what you do best!

What you will NOT see here in this Idea Book are prices. There’s a reason for that.

One of the first questions we get from prospective clients is “How much would it cost to…?”

And we always have to answer “It depends”. We’re truly not trying to be evasive, but the fact is that we don’t sell widgets. The work we do is very custom and the recommendations we make are very individualized. Therefore, it’s impossible to quote prices in general because it depends on individual goals, deadlines, and how much work we need to do with the media provided. Once we get an idea of what you’re looking for, we will be happy to provide a custom quote.

Are our services expensive? Here is the most honest answer I can give you: we will never promise you the cheapest price. What we will promise is that we will always provide the very best value for what you want to spend. One thing you should know about me personally, is that I come from a long line of frugal women, so rest assured that I will always provide you options that will get you the most bang for your buck.

To borrow from medical jargon, we treat our clients holistically. Before doing any work for you, we want to first understand exactly what you want to have done, your priorities, long and short term goals, and budget (both in time and money) to reach those goals. We will then be able to provide you recommendations, a game plan, and a specific price quote on whatever you need done that will provide the absolute best value for your dollar.

Our work isn’t just a job - it’s our passion. And if we decide to work together, we will truly be honored to tell your story.

Memories That MOVE Beyond Slideshows – Our Fusion Videos!

OK, what is a Video Fusion Show? Very simply, our Fusion Shows combine your photos and video with music and/or narration, to tell your story in the most touching way you can imagine.

Watch:

This genre is often called a slideshow, but that term just doesn’t describe what we do. Our Fusion Shows are not the run-of-the-mill slideshows that you you usually see or fall asleep to! Rather, we create an experience that is as special as the memories & lives you are celebrating.

WHAT IS A VIDEO FUSION SHOW?

https://vimeo.com/mollie4memories/videofusionshow

Commemorate & Preserve the Event

A Fusion Video is the best way to commemorate & preserve any special event. Here’s why: At a wedding, graduation or other special occasion, you’ll likely have a photographer but your guests will also be taking photos and video. We take the best of ALL the photos and video clips, and combine them with your music choices to make a show far more powerful than any of the media seen by itself!

Albums Custom Designed to Tell Your Story

Whether you need an album for a special occasion, a place for your piles of pics, a family heirloom re-created, or a remembrance of your keepsakes, our custom-designed albums are created with one goal: to tell your unique story.

Watch: NOT YOUR MOTHER'S ALBUMS

https://vimeo.com/mollie4memories/album As a Media Storyteller & Organizer, I have access to the top print labs, available only to professionals. From this pool, I’ve singled out the album lines that provide the very best quality per dollar spent. So whatever your album needs, we will get you the absolute best value for your memories.

Of course, there IS a cheaper alternative and that’s to do it yourself. There’s a myriad of web sites you can use to create your own albums and if you have the time and talent and are happy with the quality, then I encourage you to go for it.

But, if you don’t have the time or talent, (which is why most photos are on sitting on hard drives, various devices, or forgotten in boxes!) then you definitely want to check out our custom-designed albums.

Please note: One thing that we strongly discourage is storing your print photos in traditional magnetic (self-adhesive) albums. Sorry to tell you that these magnetic albums, so popular over the years and still sold in craft stores, are not a safe home for your photos! The paper used in these albums is acid-based and is combined with an adhesive and type of plastic that destroys printed media.

On the other hand, the advantages of our digitally designed albums are: •

They last.

•

Because we include a digital “flip-through” version online at no extra charge, they can be viewed by whomever you wish, wherever they are.

•

Most importantly, digital albums can be backed up!

Albums Continued…

So, without further ado, take a look at the albums we offer and the options that you have with each.

See sample albums in our Gallery at YourMemoriesAtHand.com.

Special Occasion Albums First, a note…

One of the biggest reasons for wanting an album is to commemorate a special occasion, and for that, most people want something a cut above. Unfortunately, in the past, this has limited them to the often expensive options offered from a photographer. But this is changing!

Traditionally, photographers charged a very low fee for a sitting or to shoot an occasion and then made it up by greatly marking up the output: most notably for prints and albums.

But today, more and more photographers are offering a more transparent pricing model where the photographer charges fairly for their time and talent in shooting the event, but then makes the images available to the client to do what they wish with. This allows the client to shop for the best value for their albums and prints, (or use them in other projects such as Fusion Videos or Photo Wall Art), while allowing the photographer to concentrate on what they do best: capturing the best moments of your special occasion.

Knowing this, if you’re involved with the planning of a special event, make sure to ask the photographer if they will provide your images (and the digital rights) to you on flash drive or CD. If they will, I encourage you to let us know what you have in mind and then ask for a quote. If we decide to work together, we will custom design your album to your unique event while getting you the very best value for your dollar.

Digital Scrapbooks Your photos tell your stories, but sometimes those stories are made far richer when combined with other mementos.. .

For example, for a “coming of age” for your child, you certainly want to include their best photos from infancy on, but wouldn’t it be wonderful to also include their artwork, recital programs, awards, sports trophies, etc?

For seniors, adding old letters to their photos can really enhance the stories they tell.

And veterans’ stories are made far richer when their photos are combined with their journals, medals, and dog tags.

From Wikipedia: “Scrapbooking is the art for preserving personal and family history in the form of a book and dates back to the 15th century. Typical memorabilia include photographs, printed media, and artwork and scrapbook albums frequently contain extensive journaling. “ While physical scrapbooking is still a wonderful hobby, paper, by its nature, deteriorates over time and as technology has improved over the past two decades, digital scrapbooking has risen in popularity. Using digital papers, embellishments, and journal entries, a scrapbook can be designed such that when printed, has the same feel as a physically created scrapbook with the added advantages of less bulk, being able to print multiple copies, and most of all, back it up!

If you love the idea of telling your story with a scrapbook but don’t have the time or talent, do let us know. We will custom design a scrapbook that enhances the personality and life experiences of the storyteller and you can choose the print medium that reflects your style and budget.

Albums for a Crowd Have an event coming up?

Whether it’s a holiday weekend or a large family reunion, everyone will be taking pictures. And a great way to share them is with an album of the event.

Especially since each person can get a copy for as little as $20 each! * Because there are no upfront costs, minimum orders, deadlines or risk, you can get a beautiful photo book commemorating any occasion at an affordable price - whether you need one or 1000.

Combining leading web technology and print-on-demand systems, this book line removes the usual labor and cost hurdles that we often encounter to producing creative photo books that can be ordered in quantity for a fraction of the cost.

Available in either a 9x12 or 8.5x11 size with either a hard or soft cover.

We’ll help you gather the photos, design your book and you can order as many or as few as you want. And you receive a link to the electronic version free with your order.

* Soft Cover - 20 pages.

Canvas Wraps

Today, stretched canvas is offered everywhere: online or even at the local drug store at really cheap prices. But unfortunately, what you often get is a flimsy frame with a saggy, poor quality canvas.

I believe that if your photo (or photos) are worth hanging on the wall, they should be manufactured in a way that does them justice.

The lab that we partner with produces a revolutionary way to stretch and present canvas: • • • • •

Choice of .75 and 1.5 inch depth Available in 20 sizes and three sets of 3.

A solid wood base creates a very durable, no-sag surface.

The tightest, cleanest canvas corners in the industry.

Canvas is finished with a thick, black backing that comes standard with hanging hardware and wall bumpers.

Your canvas comes ready to hang.

Thin Wraps A Thin Wrap is a print on your choice of Lustre or Metallic Paper.

The lab then over-laminates the image with a soft satin laminate or a glossy laminate.

The resulting product is then wrapped on a board, with or without a foam layer (Softop) in between the print and the board. For a striking effect, there is a spacer applied to the back of the ThinWrap, which allows the image to be hung and appear to float from the wall.

Available in 15 sizes from 8 x 8 to 24 x 36.

Keepsake Albums & Prints

Watch: DECLUTTER WITH KEEPSAKE ALBUMS & PRINTS

With added years comes added stuff and it just multiplies as we get older. Things handed down, things we bought, things given to us, travel mementos. We call them different things: keepsakes, knick-knacks or memorabilia.

It doesn’t always feel like clutter, but the truth is, we may have more than we have space for, especially as we downsize.

https://vimeo.com/mollie4memories/keepsakes

Reduce the Clutter without Losing the Memories!

If you’re out of room, you don’t have to part with special keepsakes - at least not the memories! Three-dimensional collections can be preserved and enjoyed in keepsake albums or as prints. How do we do it?

Keepsake Albums & Prints Continued…

First, we photograph each keepsake using our Shotbox: a compact photo lighting studio.

Next, we edit each object, adding a transparency to make your keepsakes pop off the page or canvas.

Lastly, we design your album or print.

The best part?

The Shotbox folds for easy portability so we can come to you.

SO, whether you’re downsizing, short on space or just want to have a less cluttered lifestyle, Keepsake Albums and Prints let you hold on to memories without the clutter.

One of our specialties is digitally recreating your heirloom to look just like the original. OR, we can add photos, backgrounds and other embellishments to make your album or book just as special as when it was new.

Then, once the album is re-created and designed to your liking, you can choose the print medium that reflects your style and budget.

Record Your Story & Preserve Your Legacy Since the dawn of time, we’ve been orally telling our stories, from one generation to the next. And for hundreds of years,

Watch:

when multiple generations and branches of a family all lived in the same area (and

THE POWER OF A STORY

sometimes in the same house!), an oral history could be passed down with the stories largely intact.

https://vimeo.com/mollie4memories/recordingourstories The legacy of past generations was also preserved in the written word.

Prior to computers, our forebears did a lot of writing and their stories were preserved in letters and journals.

But in the technology rich, mobile world we live in today, our stories are being forgotten. Our families are often scattered across the country and technology has made old fashioned letter writing far more rare.

It’s time to get those stories recorded and those legacies preserved. But where do we start?

Well interestingly, some of the best generators of stories is our photos: who was in them, what was going on and and the feelings we had.

And today, you don’t even need a tape recorder or a fancy video camera - you can simply use the camera app on any smartphone to record either audio or video.

These recorded stories are a priceless treasure, in and of themselves, even if you never do anything further with them then preserving them for future generations!

Recording Your Stories Continued…

But, if you want to enhance those stories further, here’s a couple of ideas..

FUSION VIDEOS: We can take that audio or video to use as a narration, pair it with the photos and/or video

+

that’s being described, and add timely background music for a keepsake that will carry on the stories long after the storyteller is gone. I believe it’s the most precious gift we can give to our family because it’s no longer just an oral history, but truly a time capsule for generations to come.

MEMORY ALBUMS: Like a Fusion Video, the recorded stories provide a fantastic foundation for an album of memories.

Audio Narration can be transcribed and included as journal entries.

For Small Business & Non-Profits

Business Stories That Move: Fusion Videos

If you’re an entrepreneur or small business owner, you’re on the move. And your story is best told when it’s on the move too!

If you demonstrate your product or service at sales meetings, chances are that you (and your competition) does a traditional Power Point presentation. But let’s face it, no matter how much you spice it up, it can get boring.

But what if you were to present that same information, coupled with your photos and video of your work, set to upbeat music and narration.

NOW, you’re telling your story!

Or maybe you would love to showcase your various products and services in action on your web site, or on a trade show floor. Most video production firms that offer these services are geared toward large businesses and can cost in the thousands for a 60 second video - far beyond the budget of most small business people.

We are dedicated to telling the small business story. Using your images, video, music and/or voice over, we create shows that will wow your audience…at a price that the small business can afford.

Your Business Has a Story to Tell.

We Help You Tell It…Cost effectively!

About In my role as “the family historian” early on I developed a real enjoyment of burying myself in my family’s old photos, and the creative side of me started to kick in with designing really cool ways to share those memories. I started Your Memories At Hand© to help individuals and families with all facets of their media – what I call DORPS: Digitize, Organize, Restore & Preserve. However, it’s the “S” (for Stories) that is at the heart of what I do: helping individuals, families & communities to tell their stories through their photos, video and film.

At the same time, given that I’ve been self-employed for over 30 years, I recognized that while families have stories to tell, so do small businesses.

Unfortunately, most marketing firms are geared toward big companies with prices that are out of reach for the small business. And while do-it-yourself web services are great for business cards and brochures, there is precious little else that tells your business story in a cost-effective way. So, in 2014, I launched Your Biz Story Told© to help small businesses and individual entrepreneurs showcase their company’s products and services in a cost effective way.

A little about my background: I spent 15+ years in real estate as a practitioner, broker and team manager culminating with the founding of the Accredited Consultant in Real Estate® (ACRE) Course and Coaching program, an innovative training program for real estate professionals that focused on providing services and getting paid from a consultative model. I’m the author of two real estate books and a co-author of a third.

On a personal note, I’m truly multi-geographic, having been born in Florida (of Boston-bred parents) and raised in Texas. I attended school in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi before coming to the Boston area in 1979. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Radio, Television and Film from the University of Southern Mississippi and a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in marketing from Northeastern University in Boston.

I live with my husband Steve in Framingham, MA. We have two sons, Jeff and Dan, daughter-in-law Anna, granddaughter April, grandson Gavin, and a very cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Brewster.
