​Photography possesses a profound capacity to act as a catalyst for memory recall and emotional well-being, particularly for the elderly. In the twilight of life, memories often become fragments, and the power of a photograph serves as a poignant bridge to the past. The act of capturing and revisiting moments frozen in time not only rekindles forgotten memories but also evokes the emotions associated with those cherished experiences.

By incorporating Music Therapy into our intimate photo sessions, we go beyond simply capturing smiles: we strive to be the impetus for rekindling memories long forgotten, memories that only music can elicit.

​

Photo Hop is best described as a group photo shoot that happens while music from the appropriate decades is being played.  This service works well with a weekly Happy Hour or Themed Dress Up Day.

​

Photo Hop+ is best described as a more personal photo shoot focused primarily on the individual.  Each resident will select a specific song to listen to while they are being photographed.  The song chosen will be tied to a powerful memory from their past. 

Video Hop+ is best described as a video version of the Photo Hop+ experience.  Instead of the interaction being photographed it will be filmed with a cinema camera and high quality microphone.

​

The goal with all three packages is to engage the residents on a personal level and use photography and music to elicit social interactions and increase memory recall.
