Thanks again,

Dear Susan,

The kids loved the video. We didn’t give it to them until Christmas. Every year we give them a “bonding” gift (something of significance that is the same for each of them) and according to them this was the best gift ever.

… Making the video was one of the best things we’ve done for ourselves and our children.

Susan,

Our gorgeous family portrait… I write now to say how deeply impressed I was by the Family History Video you produced. Its editing, organization, technical quality, its consistent thoughtfulness made it truly first-rate, and it brought our parents’ and grandparents’ summertime experiences alive in ways I would have thought inconceivable. Incredible work!

Warmly,

Dear Susan,

When I called I was hoping it would be the last call I would have to make to find someone who could understand me and my vision and who could make my dream come true ….

I am overjoyed with how the family history video came out and can never say ‘Thank You’ enough or show how much gratitude I feel for you. I know my family will feel the same when they see the movie at our upcoming family reunion.

…. you will always be a part of Midway, Alabama and our family.

Truly grateful,

Dear Susan,

…I had wonderful memories of growing up and hearing the many stories I was told as a child. I wanted my children to have knowledge of this rich background that we shared.

You guided me from the beginning, helping to sort my life into meaningful stages and to accompany these stages with the myriad of photos I had accumulated. You somehow kept me on track and from going off in every which direction. Aside from your creative work, your organizational skills were superb. You were a delight to work with and enabled me to connect my family history for many generations to share.

I can’t thank you enough.

Dear Susan:

I want to express how grateful I am to you for the movie that you recently made for me.

Recounting the details of my ancestors and the important events of my life was a very enjoyable and nostalgic experience for me. You are a true professional, and the final product is exceptional.

After I watched the movie, I decided to show it to my wife, several children and grandchildren. They intently watched it with deep concentration and without comment. Thereafter their comments were full of praise and appreciation that I had this done. They seem to have greater respect for me than they did before viewing the profile. Your video will remain part of our family lore that probably would have been totally forgotten if we had not proceeded with this.

Many thanks,
Raymond S., Illinois

Dear Susan,

My mother always wanted to write down her life story, but never quite got around to it. The Video Biography gave her the chance to share her story with her children and grandchildren in a very personal way that was fun and easy. The whole family got together for Mother’s Day to watch the premier!

Thank you,

Susan,

I want to tell you how wonderfully the video collage added to the day of the party… It was awesome as table by table folks noted the video and, before long, every one was watching and commenting. Some of the folks pictured are no longer with us, and that sort of added to the day in a special way. Thank you again for your efforts!

‘The video slideshow project Susan put together for me was terrific. After skillfully overcoming several technical challenges presented to her by the project, she produced a beautiful and moving video. Only someone with both technical skill and artistic sensibility could have made our family history video so memorable. I would highly recommend her to anyone.’

Tom B., Illinois

Dear Susan,

I have shared your wonderful Family History Video with my family and everyone so enjoyed it and was just so thrilled to have such detailed information about our family. You did a marvelous job…!

Rosalie P., Illinois
Family History Video

‘Susan was such a pleasure to work with, and exceeded all my expectations: Having worked with a lot of artists and photographers in my time I’m used to having to fight my corner when the artistic ego rears its head. Not so with Susan. She was completely sensitive to my wishes, endlessly patient, and so ego-free that she made the whole experience FUN from start to finish. I love the result!! Susan does a first-rate job, is the consummate professional, and I quite simply could not recommend her more highly’.

Kerry M., Illinois
Tribute Video

When we came to Susan, we already had interview footage that we had recorded ourselves, a great deal of still photos we wanted to incorporate, an idea for what should end up in the final product; however, we needed help with the actual editing and production of our movie. Susan was incredibly flexible and receptive to our creative input: she adapted to our unique request, she diligently brought together the interviews and photos, and her editorial recommendations consistently improved the project. Working with Susan was a treat, and we will definitely be returning for more!
