We’ll work with your photo archive together with you.
On the first interview I’ll record who is who, write down some stories and comments to the pictures and capture interesting memories, that will bring those photos alive.

How did we get this dog? What did they eat during World War II? How many of us lived in this house and had to share the 2 bedrooms? We'll agree on main ideas for capturing family tree, themes, and agree on basics of design.

Over next couple of weeks we’ll be working with your photos - improving and retouching selected photos, putting together the captions and the text, organizing and designing a book.
In our second interview we will go through the draft photobook design on the computer together with you, make some corrections and agree on the changes, “sign off” the final design and text, and I’ll be preparing the photobooks books for printing.
Sometimes - if the changes were substantial - we’ll need a third interview to agree the final design, or we can do it remotely over email and WhatsApp.
The ready book(s) will be delivered to you within
2 weeks after final signoff of the book, normally within
4 weeks after the first interview.

We’ll need a couple of quiet hours for our first chat, so we can discuss background and review photos together with no pressure.
