A Note From Anne

Everyone loves photos. There's something so special about looking back at our favorite memories and being able to share them with friends and family. As my family has grown up, I’ve wanted to freeze time and cherish every moment. My photos, (and videos and more!) mean the world to me because they are tangible objects that mark these invaluable memories for me and my family!

It became clear to me that while people love photos, they also don’t have the time, or desire to organize them. Can you identify? And even if you had the time to sit and organize all your photos over the year yourself, do you know how to deal with the complication of all digital and physical photos we have accumulated? Our photos are often in various formats, across different devices, lots of duplicates, some in terrible in quality, and maybe you’re not sure what decade they’re even from!

I set out to solve that with Luminta. We are talented professionals who tame the chaos for you. Just send us your photos, and we do all the work. Imagine this – you just found boxes and archives of your family’s photos and rather than having to find a space for them and spending hours figuring which to keep or throw out, you simply leave it to a professional.

We sort through all your photos, scan and digitize them, and organize them in a single shareable and highly accessible place. The most important aspects of our work are personalized attention and storytelling. We look at all of your photos (and other ephemera) and group them in a way that makes the most sense for your story so you can easily relive your memories all over again.

We’re excited to help you manage your photos so you'll always remember your most precious memories – and have the time to make more!
