What your family sees
The people you write to never sign up for anything and never pay a penny. On the morning you chose, an email arrives with a link, and this is what is behind it.
A video message
From Grandma Nell
Sent to you on Saturday, 3 June 2034
I wanted you to hear me say this rather than read it, so I sat down on the sofa with the phone propped against a cushion and just talked.
Watch it on the morning of your graduation, before anybody else is up.

A family story
From Grandpa Joe
Sent to you on Sunday, 12 June 2033
This is your grandmother on the porch at the old house, the summer before we were married.
She had just told me she hated my car. I kept it another nine years out of pure stubbornness, and she never once let it go. You have her whole face in that photograph, and I have thought about telling you so for a long time.
Grandpa Joe
Leave a memory that lasts forever
Three kinds of keepsake, and a real example of each one.
A message
We ask you one question at a time, so you never face a blank page.
By the time you read this you will be standing somewhere with flowers in your hands, and I want you to know what I was thinking the morning you were born.

A photograph
A picture you kept, with the story behind it.
This is my mother at the lake the year I turned sixteen. She'd just caught a bass bigger than anything my father ever pulled out of that water, and she didn't let him forget it all summer.

A video
Record your personal message, in your own voice, in your own chair.
Here I am on the front step, where you always found me, with those pink flowers you planted for me. They came back again this year. I thought you'd want to know.

Why I built Forever Photo
I won’t be at every occasion in my kids’ lives
Nobody is. So I wanted to write to them now and have it turn up on the day itself, in my words, with the photographs I’d pick.
There’s one waiting already. My graduation keepsake opens on 3 September 2027. It’s written and it’s scheduled, and I’m not telling anybody what it says.

Your memories are safe with us
Only the family you share it with can open it
Your keepsake is locked on your own phone or computer before it reaches us, and nobody here reads it. The email we send carries a link, never the words you wrote.
If you are not around
Name a family member or a friend we can ask if you stop answering our check-in emails. Keepsakes marked “when I am gone” are sent only when that person tells us the time has come.
Your keepsakes, your data
Download your photos, videos and messages to your phone or your computer whenever you like, in a form that opens without us.
Questions
What if I am not here when the day comes?
We check in with you from time to time. If the day ever comes, we ask the person you chose. Nothing is delivered until they confirm it.
Do I pay every year?
No. Your first three keepsakes are free, and after that every plan is one payment, starting at $4.99. Nothing renews and there is no yearly bill.
Can anyone there read what I write?
No. Your message or photograph is locked on your own phone or computer before it reaches Forever Photo, so what we store cannot be read without your key. The email we send carries a link and never the words themselves.
I am not good with computers.
Forever Photo asks you one question at a time, in large type, and saves your answer as you go. Close the laptop and your message is waiting exactly where you left it.
How does recording a video work?
Your camera stays off until you press the button. When you stop, you watch the take back and decide whether to keep that one or record another.
What if you go out of business?
You can download your keepsakes, photographs and videos at any time, in a form that opens without Forever Photo, and we publish exactly what would happen to your keepsakes if this company ever stopped.
The message you keep meaning to write
We ask you a few questions and help you write a message for someone you love.
