Personal and Professional Slideshows |
Would you like a professionally produced slideshow that documents the most important people or events in your life? Let me create the personal or professional slideshows you need!
Slideshows have so many uses. Family historians love them because they're a great way to put your family’s history in motion. If you have
a large collection of wedding photos or you'd like to document another important event, slideshows are the perfect way to share your collection of images with your family and friends.
Slideshows come with many advantages over traditional photo albums or online galleries. Because you can watch them on your TV or computer, they're both more accessible and more entertaining than photo albums or online
photo galleries. The ability to add frames, music and short video clips makes slideshows that much more interesting.
The slideshows that I produce include, but are not limited to:
Genealogy: Genealogy slideshows are a great way to preserve and share your
family’s memories. Display them on your family’s website or play them at holidays and special events!
Family: Family slideshows can take many shapes and forms. Turn your wedding photos into an interactive gallery or create slideshows that document family events, special moments with your children and more.
Business: Slideshows are a great way to show off your products or services. You can also create other promotional materials including proposals, presentations or slideshows that document how people can put your product to work.
