Recently, we have noticed how many of our clients have come to us with a very specific request... "Help us tell the story of our lives!" Perhaps it's for an anniversary, sometimes it's a milestone birthday for a grandparent. Whatever the occasion, the process and the end result has been so emotional for our clients, and yes..., for us as well! Having been in the photography business for almost 75 years, we have built so many deep relationships with so many of our clients, relationships that span generations, with weddings, children and family portraits, graduations and special family occasions. Time just flies, right?! And today, those clients are asking us to curate a collection of their favorite family photographs and create a keepsake album that shows the evolution of their family, of the many wonderful seasons of their lives that we have captured over the years. Yes, we have been lucky enough to have photographed many of these hallmark moments ourselves. But, we have also helped cull through boxes and boxes of personal snap shots to flesh out the book. As artists and designers, we love creating these compilation albums. The look and feel is so rich and rewarding and timeless, putting an heirloom book on the family coffee table for all to see!
At Figge Photography, we strongly believe that in our busy, tech-driven, modern life, it is a struggle to figure out how to document and preserve your unique family stories. Our thinking is that sometimes you just need to call in the professionals. After all, we have carefully stored and saved precious moments of your life for over seven decades now! So snap your fingers, give us a call, and tell the story of your life!

Karen Cook - It is hard to explain magic of Figge and the loving family behind the stories of our family! They have been along with us at every step- we met the Figge's at a bridal fair in 1991...then these pre bridal photos started it all off! You make us all look good, but more importantly we have fun on the journey. Then our 25th wedding anniversary approached, and this book was made!

Diana Brookes - I second my sister, Gina that this is a wonderful idea and great way to preserve family memories. She has done all the work to digitize all the slides and family photos which we will all benefit from. A book to bring them all together would truly be a lifelong gift!
Love you all, Diana❤️

Gina Sammis - I love this idea too. You documented so many important events in my family's lives. Yes, I still have old slides, negatives and the banker's boxes of photos, attempting to digitize them. The whole idea is to have them available for everyone to see. What a wonderful gift that would be to someone to combine them all. I know how hard you all worked to preserve all your negatives all those years! Brilliant idea.

Erin McDonald - Hello everyone at Figge!
This is such a great idea! I’m always making table top books of our vacations because we all walk around with thousands of pictures on our phones and no ones sees them.
We’ve only had one photo shoot with you guys but I would love to discuss the possibility of making a book that includes the photos we’ve taken and we will soon need another photo shoot of all of us before Brooklyn goes to college in the Fall of 2020.
Thanks for the idea!
Hope you are all well!
