Instructions for creating the perfect LifeStory.....

Digital Photo's

  • Carefully select the photographs that you would like to have in your LifeStory project before completing the Selection Form.
  • Decide the order of the photographs as you would like them to appear.
  • Upload them to an online Photo Album, in the order that you have decided, so that they can be accessed by our Creative Specialists. The online companies listed below will allow you to upload and store your digital photos for free. 

                My Photo Album          Fotopic           Magix Photos             Sharpcast

  • Once you have created an account with one of these companies, complete the Selection Form and enter the web link to your photo album in the Special Instructions box.  We will access them there and begin your personalized LifeStory DVD.
  • Remember....You can add photo specifics in the Special Instructions comment box. You can requests certain photos be presented in black and white, zoom in on a particular object or even add captions. Just be sure to specify which photos you want to make changes to. Some of our customers prefer the entire project to be black and white and most wedding DVDs are requested to be antiqued. It's your LifeStory so have fun with it!

Paper Photo's

  • Carefully select the photographs that you would like to have in your LifeStory project before completing the Selection Form.
  • Decide the order of the photographs as you would like them to appear and then mark the backside of them in numerical order.
  • Complete and submit the LifeStory Selection Form including any special requests that you may have entered into the Special Instructions comment box. 
  • Once we have received the LifeStory Selection Form, we will email you with mailing instructions. 
  • Keep in mind that digital photos are cheaper to use in your project, so you might consider having them scanned onto a Picture CD and then following the instructions above for Digital Photos. Your local Wal-Mart or drugstore can usually help you with this.


Special Tips:

If you are having trouble deciding on the Musical Selections for your project, we will be happy to choose them for you. You will only need to suggest what mood you are looking to project. From Comical to Sentimental, our musical library consists of over 30,000 songs from which we can choose.


You can include special instructions in the designated comment box on the Selection Form. Be sure to specify which photos you want to be changed. We can zoom, crop, change color, caption.... or anything you can imagine up.  You may also want to think about adding a special quote or message that can be displayed at the opening (or closing, if you wish) of your LifeStory DVD. 


If you have any questions about how to begin your project, email us at Comments@ourlifestories.biz.
