Organization: I do not require you to sort your photos. If you categorize your photos by subject, the folder and files will contain that name. Example: Hank's First Day of School; Folder name will be "Hank's First Day of School;" File Names will be "Hank's First Day of School 001," "Hank's First Day of School 002," etc. Clear zip-top bags or greeting card envelopes are a great way to separate photos by category or quantity.

Photos are kept in the order received.

Your original images will be returned along with a flash drive of your digital files. Additional flash drives can be purchased (see separate listing in my shop.)

*Upon receiving your order, I will send you an Etsy message with my shipping address. You will need to visit your post office and/or print your own label to ship your materials to me.

I am not liable for loss of photos during the shipping process. I urge you to ship your photos to me with a tracking number. I return ship your photos and flash drive with a tracking number. I can add insurance value to the package, at the cost of the photo owner. That said - once received, your photos are handled with extreme care! We are a smoke and pet free household, and all photos are kept completely out of sight from our toddler.

***FAQ***
How should I organize my photos?
It's up to you! You can throw them in a box and mail them that way. Otherwise, you can organize however you'd like. I'll keep all of your photos in the order that you send them in. They'll be scanned in the order that you send them in.

If you categorize your photos by subject, the folder and files will contain that name. Example: Hank's First Day of School; Folder name will be "Hank's First Day of School;" File Names will be "Hank's First Day of School 001," "Hank's First Day of School 002," etc. Clear zip-top bags or greeting card envelopes are a great way to separate photos by category or quantity.

What resolution do you scan my printed photos and albums at?
Printed photos are scanned at 600 dpi. Slides are scanned at 20 megapixels.

How long will it take you to complete my scanning?
It will depend on how many photos you have. I'm the Mama to a very active popular toddler, so times may vary. I can typically complete 1,000 photos in 3 business days.

Do you retain my files?
I retain your files for 3 months from the day of completion. This gives you enough time to make any additional copies of the files that you need. I recommend having at least two copies of your files, because, well, we're all human. Mistakes happen. We lose things. We break things. Have a back up, and store it in a safe place.

What's the process?
1. Organize your photos to determine the quantity that you'd like scanned.
2. Purchase the corresponding quantity from my Etsy shop. Complete the checkout process. After I receive your order, I'll provide you with the shipping address.
3. Gently package your photos into your shipping box of choice.
4. Visit your local post office and ship your photos to me. I strongly recommend shipping with a tracking number, and I urge you to consider insuring your package.
5. I'll message you when your photos have been received, and then I'll get to work! I'll keep you updated throughout the process.
6. I'll add your files to a flash drive. The flash drive will be packaged with your original photos and mailed back to you!

Why is there a shipping charge added to my order?
This shipping charge will cover part, or all, of the shipping costs from me back to you.
