Headstone photo requests
I am willing and available to take headstone photos in the Cleveland/Medina/Akron area...
except for a few places...
Here's the scoop... I am a stay home mommy.. and I am not really anxious to take my infant daughter to hang around in those cemeteries that are in "bad neighborhoods"... such as Woodland, St. Joseph's, St. John's, East Cleveland... etc.. I suppose I would like to have the right to decline any request to take photos in areas that I don't feel comfortable in...
For those areas, I recommend my fellow researcher, Michele Day. Please email her
HERE
She's brave, and she told me she doesn't mind going to some of those East Side cemeteries.
I really would like to stay on the West side, and the South Cleveland area.  I'm more familiar with those.
But besides that... I've got a camera full of film ready to go, and also a video camera I could take to get a "in person" view of where your ancestors are buried! I'm not trying to get rich doing this.. I'm trying to provide a service for people that live far away and can't drive here to take the pictures themselves.. but being a stay home mom with no income.. I can't always afford to spend my money on gas to drive to the cemeteries.  Some of them are more than 45 minutes away from my home. I hope you understand.
Now for the "bad" part...the costs...
I have been asked several times what my fees are.. and I never really had "fees" before.. I worked on a "donation" basis.. but sometimes I ran around and took 20 photos and used my gas and film, and paid for developing and postage.. not to mention my time.. and I received NOTHING.. and sometimes I took one picture and got $20....so I never knew..
So.. I decided to make up a fee chart.. that way everyone will be comfortable..
Each cemetery visited.. up to five photos with my digital camera.. $15.00
if you would like "hard copy" regular film photos.. please add $3.00 so I can buy some film for you.. and I will send it to you for developing.
Each cemetery visited.. video of headstones and surrounding area...$20.00
Beyond that.. I don't know.. I'll have to handle any others on an individual basis..
e-mail me !
or I accept Paypal... if you sign up for paypal through me, and use my e-mail address as a reference.. your five headstone photos will be free! Please click

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR ANCESTOR SEARCH!
