Meet Derek
Owner & Operator
Following graduation from Florida State University, I lived with my grandparents for a short period of time leading up to my wedding. While living with them, I was astounded by the decades of memories in the form of prints and film that were collecting dust in shoeboxes. I decided to help preserve their memories and digitized thousands of photos and hours of video to help preserve their legacy. It is now my mission to help more families tackle this important task of converting their VHS tapes, audio cassettes, 8mm film, and more to digital!

Services/Prices
It is important to me to offer reasonable prices so that it is not a burden for families to preserve their legacies. I offer more affordable rates than the larger digitization companies with unmatched customer service. I am an expert at converting your VHS tapes, audio cassettes, 8mm film, and more to digital. If you have a service requested that is not listed below, do not hesitate to reach out!

Step 2
Drop-Off
Once we have scheduled a time window for you to drop off your items, drop off your video tapes, audio cassettes, and 8mm film at that schedule time. You can expect a turnaround time of 1-2 weeks depending on the size of your job. No payment due at this time.
Step 3
Pick-up
Once your digitization process is complete, I will notify you via text or call letting you know your items are available for pickup. An invoice with payment instructions listed (cash, check, tap-to-pay card or Venmo) will be given. You will receive all of your original items back plus your brand new thumb drive which will contain all of your digitized memories.
