Testimonial

{Marianna has an eye for photos and adds just the right touch when helping me preserve my most precious memories. I've known Marianna from way back when I first started paper scrapbooking almost 20 years ago! She jumped to digital scrapbooking and slowly, then surely, convinced me that creating albums with software brings a whole new world of creativity to my projects. During this Covid period, I have had so much fun expanding my digital knowledge on her Zoom training events. If you are able to make it to one of her weekend retreats, you will love getting to know Marianna and some of her dedicated digi girls. Oh, and don't forget to convert all your old media with photos and videos to a Forever account!{

{Twenty-three years ago, Marianna started to work with me. Through FOREVER, she has provided me with a safe way to convert my old media so they can be enjoyed again.  FOREVER recently digitized a box of unlabeled 8mm tapes from my parent’s house. Imagine their surprise when they were able to relive their 1955 wedding reception streamed right from my storage account! As a memory keeper herself, Marianna knows the joy that comes from preserving those memories in a way that can be shared with others.  Whether it is helping you make a photobook of a European vacation or son’s wedding, printing art for your walls, converting old media that you no longer have the ability to view or helping you organize and safely store those family memories, she can help you accomplish your goal.  There is no one else I would turn to for this expertise.{

{I can highly recommend Marianna Curran as a creative and caring Forever photo consultant. I have known Marianna since 2014, she has helped me make family history projects “come alive” ever since! Marianna helped me immortalize my and my husband’s family trees and our ancestors’ immigrants to America. She designed two 12” x 12” heirloom-quality books. Marianna was very professional in designing pages and formatting the layouts, being careful to choose vintage papers, fonts and images that are true to 19th-century styles. She even restored a couple of old photos!  Her people skills match her artistic abilities, and Marianna has a knack for making photo organizing fun and productive. Thank you for your work, Marianna -- Forever treasures to my children and grandchildren!{

{I purchased Forever about three years ago. I knew that I needed help with my family photos. I wanted to scan and save them in a safe place. I am still working on that goal. I no longer worry about my photo albums (21) being destroyed by natural disasters. I had them converted to digital and they are saved in my Forever account. It is so easy to share pictures and videos, once I have them in Forever. All of this would not have been possible without the help that I received from Marianna and the support team at Forever. I love having a real person to talk to when faced with computer issues. If I don't understand something, they they are there to teach me.{

{Everyone needs a Marianna! Our lives reconnected after those old scrapbook days. She redirected me in a digital direction with Forever. I am forever grateful for Forever and Marianna! She’s fun, enthusiastic and her knowledge through her training sessions are invaluable. Forever and Marianna are the perfect combination for preserving your photo memories.{

{Marianna has been the catalyst to making me love digiscrapping. I started with Marianna several years ago as a newbie to Artisan and Forever and with her guidance, expertise, and patience. I have amazed myself and my family with how I have progressed. With the retreats, she has hosted in a beautiful B&B, her classes at her home, and now with the virtual events that she holds. I am always learning new things. Marianna also encouraged me to use Forever storage and I have never looked back. I have had all my slides, 8mm videos, and photos digitized by Forever and they do a fantastic job and I never have to worry that my photos and memories will be lost.{

{I met Marianna 15 years later and now, call her a friend. Her kindness, sense of humor, patience and guiding hand have introduced me to the world of digital scrapbooking. After watching Marianna at work, I saw that she looks at her clients as individuals with their own strengths and weaknesses, then steers them to create beautiful projects.  An example of this is that Marianna realizes I am not very creative and she points out simple ways to create beautiful pages. I always save my projects and photos in my FOREVER Storage account knowing that future generations will enjoy them long after I have gone.  Marianna has also shared her time with me to find the best way to organize my FOREVER storage specifically for me.  She truly is a gift to digi-scrapbooking and saving our memories for future generations.{

{What does a photo coach do with a client too fearful to finish a paper scrapbook after 8 years? You continually convince her to try digi-scrapping! Marianna has been working with me for over 10 years encouraging me to continue scrapbooking because she knew that I desperately wanted and needed a creative outlet. Her class on how to get started digi-scrapping finally got me rolling. It was step-by-step covering all of the basics and eventually moving to more intermediate concepts. All classes are taped. After the class, I have called for help several times and Marianna is always available. I never feel abandoned. I cannot tell you how often I text her that digi-scrapping makes my heart smile. I am extremely proud of my first digital scrapbook and forever grateful to Marianna!{

{The past 20 years Marianna has been the one person I have relied on for advice and help to tackle my computer, photo, and camera issues. She has limitless patience, good humor, and is unflappable with my challenges. She always finds solutions to my unique problems. She has created beautiful photo slideshows and has taught you how to create photo books. She has been my coach and good angel encouraging me to get a handle on my 100,000 photos! Thank you Marianna for never giving up on me.{

{Marianna’s vast knowledge of photo organization management was key to our school when we collaborated and moved to a digital yearbook production format. Marianna strategized ways to increase efficiency and improve product quality. She is very personable and responsive to her client’s needs. Her work is beautiful.{
