– Dana C.

“We had a family reunion on Cape Cod in early August and the 14 minute production was the highlight of the entire week. Jane combined video clips with photo’s and some ‘one hit wonders’ music from the 70’s to create a video that rocked the house. We laughed all week long. We made watching the video a nightly event after our meals. It was clear that Jane invested a lot of time figuring out how to match the music with the visual content to reflect our family dymanic. My expectations were exceeded in a big way. The EverPresent team are Pro’s at getting things done and making it look easy in the process. I gave a 5 star rating only because there are no more to give. If there were more I’d give more.”

Video Slideshows for moments to be proud of

Milestone Birthdays

Make a birthday slideshow for coming-of-age milestones like quinceañeras and turning 40. These shows can feature songs and visuals that track the birthday girl’s (or boy’s) growth over time. Find media that capture lots of ‘firsts’ – steps, haircuts, school days and so on – and we can place them in order to show the years leading up to the event.

Graduation Celebrations

A graduation slideshow can set the tone for your grad’s hard-earned achievement. They often combine a ‘growing up’ element with more of an academic one. We can also include any acceptance letters, transcripts or pictures from social media if you choose.

Retirement Parties

Retirement is perhaps the peak of achievement in your loved one’s life. It’s a time to close the book on decades of hard work and career growth. A video slideshow for retirement might feature workday snapshots. Or office holiday party videos. Maybe even plaques that highlight specific projects.

Common questions
about custom slideshow services

Can you add their favorite songs?

If you have the recordings or they’re available online, we can add them to your slideshow. It’s okay if you don’t have a soundtrack in mind – we can select music based on the mood or theme you want to convey (e.g. upbeat, sentimental, etc.).

I don’t have digital photos, what should I do?

Our elite photo digitizers have you covered. It doesn’t matter if you have prints, framed portraits or 35mm slides – we can scan the photos and memorabilia that focus on the milestone you’re celebrating. Once your memories are digital, we can place them into your video slideshows in whatever sequence you choose.

How do I start?

Talk to one of our consultants to get started! They’ll ask about your goals for the project and find out if you need any photos or documents scanned to digital. When your digital files are ready to roll, our design team will create your slideshow based on the directions you give to your consultant. We’ll even show you a series of drafts so you can give feedback and request edits along the way.

Does it have to be a photo slideshow?

Slideshows are only one option to celebrate your milestone event. If you have mostly video content or you’d prefer something physical, you can have us make a video highlight reel of your child or a custom photobook for your class reunion instead. And remember – you don’t need to limit yourself to just one design project!
