We LOVE telling your stories and helping you share your beautiful memories, and there are so many interesting and fun ways to do it! At Capture Your Photos, we provide premium service and high quality products in our delivery of albums, slideshows and keepsake products.
The Story of Us is family storytelling made simple…no long-term project commitment, no pressure to write your whole life story, no complicated tools or technology, just a simple, photo-first, guided way to capture the stories that matter most.
The Story of Us Blueprint turns 50 photos into a cherished family heirloom. It helps you tell your story in a way that is simple and meaningful, describing who you are as a family, what matters to you, and how your family became us. It’s a keepsake that will live in your family for generations.
Family storytelling made simple…
Instead of writing long stories, recording hours of interviews, or creating a full memoir, we help you select just 50 photos from different seasons of your life and write simple, memory-filled captions, which organically, when put together, become your story.
We offer two ways to create your Story of Us legacy album:
1. The Story of Us Blueprint is a guided process that helps you preserve your family’s memories in a way that removes the overwhelm and makes the idea of capturing your story feel manageable, meaningful, and even enjoyable. It walks you through the seasons of life, guiding you to select the 50 photos that tell your story. It includes:
a simple to follow, guided workbook with photo and memory prompts;
a predesigned, editable, Canva template that helps you pull your album together with ease; and,
videos and tips on selecting and organizing your photos, writing captions, and printing your finished album.

2. Capture Your Photos Custom Design and Print Services offers a seamless, done-for-you experience. You’ll begin with the Story of Us Blueprint to guide you through photo selection and adding simple captions. We’re here to support you through that process in whatever way you need.
From there, we design and deliver a professionally printed, premium quality album keepsake worthy of your family's legacy. Our premium Story of Us album packages start at $729.

For the Story of Us albums…if you are interested in the DIY Blueprint, simply visit The Story of Us Blueprint page and purchase it online. For the full-service Design and Print option, contact us and we’ll get you started.
For premium custom designed albums…we start by learning about your project. From there, you provide us with the photos either digitally or printed (organization and scanning services available). We custom design a beautiful album. You review and provide edits. We print the album using a professional, high quality printer.
Pricing is based on the cost to organize and design the album, as well as the cost to print the album. The cost to organize and design the album is estimated based on the number of photos, the number of pages, and any scanning costs. The cost of printing varies based on the quality of the album (e.g. cover and paper) and the size of the book.
Our goal is to make this process as easy as possible for you, with the ultimate goal of creating a beautiful keepsake that you and your loved one will cherish for a lifetime.

custom design the slideshow, providing you with one opportunity to review/edit the slideshow; and,
deliver your slideshow on a flashdrive in an mp4 digital format or via a cloud site so it can be watched on any type of screen.
The cost of a slideshow is $495 for up to 100 photos. $2 for each additional photo. Short videos can also be added. Additional costs may apply for videos, based on the number added. Additional fees may also apply for music, depending on the music chosen (Capture Your Photos uses royalty free music and/or only uses music legally).
As an additional service, we are happy to scan your printed photos and/or help you select and organize your photos.
One copy of the slideshow on a flashdrive is included. Additional copies are $25 each.
Introducing the 'mini'…a mini slideshow includes up to 40 pics and 1 song. Perfect for capturing an experience or celebrating a special event. Designed for easy sharing with family and friends, as well as sharing online. The 'mini' includes an mp4 version of the slideshow on a flashdrive and/or shared via an online site.

One more cool option for event slideshows...have your slideshow turned into a digital album after an event, adding photos taken during the celebration/event.
Here are some guidelines for numbers of photos and the length of the slideshow:
100 photos – 5-6 minutes (approx. 2 songs)
150 photos – 8-10 minutes (3 songs)
200 photos — 12-14 minutes (4-5 songs)
We will work 1-1 to determine the best way to get both digital and printed photos to us.
