Personalized Scanning Service
The Story Behind Kerby Scans
I created Kerby Scans after seeing firsthand how overwhelming and time consuming it can be to scan hundreds, or even thousands, of family photos. As a retired technology teacher, I’ve developed a simple and safe process to digitize your photo collection.
There’s no need to mail your precious family photos across the country to be digitized, when Kerby Scans can provide you with local personalized photo scanning services at a competitive cost. If you’re in Minneapolis or the surrounding area, contact me today to learn more!
Preserve Your Photos and Enjoy on All Your Devices
How the Process Works
Prepare Your Photos — You gather and bundle the photos you’d like to be digitized and place them in a container for me to collect.
Professional Digitization — I’ll carefully prepare and scan your photos, verifying the quality of the scans throughout the entire process.
Finished Project — When the project is complete, you’ll receive your new digital files and the original photos will be returned to you for safekeeping.
That’s it! Enjoy all the benefits of your newly digitized photo collection—gift an heirloom thumb drive or DVD to your family; view the files on your phone, tablet, computer, or TV; and share your favorites on social media for all to see.
