How does it work?

  1. Select a scanning package - don’t worry about the final count. We will take care of all of the counting for you. We will also be your consulting partner on what package you need, what scanning DPI you need, what kind of storage media you need, and any other questions you may have.

  2. Prepare your photos by putting them in labeled containers. Add any dates, locations, or events to the labels and we’ll add them to the photo’s metadata.

  3. Drop your photos off at Northshore Pics.

  4. If you give us photo albums, we will remove the photos, scan them, and then replace them in the same order. If you have envelopes of photos, we will also maintain the order in the envelopes. Dusty or dirty photos will be gently wiped with a microfiber cloth to obtain the best possible image.

  5. Northshore Pics carefully scans all of your photos.

  6. We will create a final count of photos and and provide you with a final bill.

  7. When we’re finished, we will contact you for pickup!
