A Pixorium Success Story: Revisiting Romania
This summer we met Mihai “Mike” Pop, a talented, up-and-coming, Atlanta-based street photographer. He contacted us to create a book of his Romania photos, a piece to share with his family and others to showcase his work. Together, Mike and Lilly, his photobook coach, crafted this tender and compelling book, Romania Through My Lens.
I’m Too Busy for Photos and Stories!
We’re in that Spring and early Summer mania – school year endings, graduations and weddings, summer camps and vacations. We’re too busy for another thing in our 24!
Hey, I know BUT I boldly suggest these three simple habits. No extra time – just smart use of it:
Stir Family Recipes, Stories, Photos into a Book. Serve with Joy.
Many of us inherit a family recipe collection. What an opportunity! Your recipe collection is a great way to save and share favorite family recipes with family stories and photos. Like these books created by our clients, Liz and Anita.
Who Will Have Access After You’re Gone?
Your legacy is now definitely digital -- Apple, Facebook and Google, to name only a few. What happens to your data when you die? Who will have access after you’re gone?
George and Katie – the Only Photo and Family Stories, Saved
I remember her in a wheelchair, fully dressed every day, in that big apron with the pockets on the underside where she kept her snacks and her .32 pistol. When I was three or four years old, she was my babysitter while my mother was at work. She was also my protector when I misbehaved.
Help! I’m Drowning in Photos on My Phone!
Help! My photos are taking over my phone! I scroll and scroll in Photos and I can’t find the one I’m looking for. Plus, I’m running out of storage space.
Is Legacy Following You, Too?
“Legacy” is following me. I see it everywhere – in emails, conversations, podcasts, articles. And legacy is not being at all sneaky, but making itself known at every turn.

“So, Jiffy, how do I work with you and Pixorium?”
Someone asked me that question recently. Someone I was sure knew the answer. Wow.

Help Me Find My Story. I’m Not Sure I Have One.
“Help me find my story. I’m not sure I have one.” Yes, you do. They’re hard to see in your own life. I often hear, “Really, what have I done? I’ve just lived my life.”
Help Me Tell My Story In A Book That’s Loved
“Help me tell my story in a book that’s loved, not just sitting on a shelf collecting dust.” Sure thing! A loved book always has your reader top-of-mind. A loved book is intentional in all aspects – what you say, how you say it, how it looks, how it feels.
