It started with a box of baby photos in my basement—thousands of them. My mom had handed them down to me years ago, and I always meant to go through them, organize them, and scan them. But like most people, life got busy.
When I finally opened the box, the damage had already started. Some were curling, others fading. A few had stuck together from moisture. That's when it hit me: if I didn't do something soon, these irreplaceable memories would be lost forever.
Using my background in software and tech, I put together a fast, high-quality setup right in my own home. In just a few hours, I scanned, organized, and uploaded over 2,000 photos—preserving decades of memories in a single afternoon.
I built a private online photo gallery, made backup copies, and loaded everything onto a digital frame as a gift for my mom. Seeing her flip through those long-lost moments—now crisp, clear, and protected—was a feeling I'll never forget.
That experience showed me how doable this can be with the right tools—and how many families are sitting on boxes of priceless photos, unsure where to start.
That's why I started Denville Photo Preservation. My goal is simple: help families preserve their memories quickly, safely, and without stress. You don't need to mail anything away or figure it out yourself. I come to you, do the work on-site or with pickup, and give you back digital memories ready to share and enjoy.
Because the best time to scan your family's photos was five years ago. The next best time is today.
