✈️ Read Why We Flew to Save a Mom's Photos. Digitized Same Day—A True Story!

Friend,

A family in Texas waited 4 years. We couldn’t wait another day.


Most companies would have ignored an email like the one we received. We didn’t. Instead, we booked a flight, raced against time, and personally rescued a lifetime of irreplaceable photos.


Four years ago, a Texas mom received a ScanMyPhotos eGift card from her daughters. But life got in the way, and her priceless family photos stayed boxed up until she reached out to us last week about her unused eGift card from 2021, we knew waiting wasn’t an option.


We’ve heard too many heartbreaking stories like the customer who mailed us 10,000 negatives just before wildfires destroyed their home or the one who planned to scan everything but waited too long—only to lose it all in a disaster.

What Happened Next?

Our CEO & Chief Photo Archivist booked a last-minute flight.
Landed in Texas just as tornado warnings hit the area.
Arrived at her doorstep at 8 AM to personally collect her photos.
Gave her a GPS tracker to follow every step of the journey.
Had everything digitized and in her inbox by 8 PM the same day.


Upon arriving in Texas, we faced tornado warnings, 70+ MPH winds, and a pelting rainstorm. This was a stark reminder that waiting too long could mean losing everything, and we weren’t about to let that happen.

They waited four years. We showed up at their door. A lifetime of memories, saved.
