Photos Are Only Half the Story

What Happens After Your Pictures Are Digitized?

Your phone is backed up. Your past isn’t. ScanMyPhotos is partnering with Remento® because scanning photos is only half your story. Your vintage snapshots capture a moment. Only you can tell what it meant. Remento is the expert at preserving the stories behind your pictures in beautifully crafted memory books.  They are the smart next step after pictures are digitized. They help families record loved ones’ stories through guided prompts and turn their spoken memories into beautifully written keepsake books, a concept popularized after its appearance on Shark Tank.

Remento: Where Your Memories Find Their Voice

We’re putting them in the spotlight, showing how they preserve the voices and memories behind your photos. I recently spent time with their co-founder, Charlie Greene, and it became clear we’re driven by the same thing. Both of us lost our dads when we were young. That experience shaped everything. It’s why I’ve dedicated my life to protecting photographs and why Charlie built a category-defining company focused on preserving the stories behind them. Different tools. Same mission.

Remento Helps You Narrate the Stories Only You Can Tell

A photo captures a second. Only you can tell what it meant. Who was laughing? What changed that day? Why it still matters. That’s why this partnership feels so natural. For 36 years, ScanMyPhotos has been trusted to safeguard pictures. Remento preserves the voices behind them, turning your spoken memories into beautifully printed keepsake books your family can hold, read, and pass down. And if you’re curious how it started, watch Charlie share the mission on Shark Tank® and why he won over co-host Mark Cuban to preserve family stories.

WHY EVERY PHOTO DESERVES A STORY

This isn’t scrapbooking.
It’s memory-keeping, reimagined.


Every photo has a story behind it

A familiar photo becomes something entirely new when you hear the story behind it—told by the person who lived it, in their words, with their voice.

Get started


It’s fun to reminisce about these moments

You digitized these photos because they hold joy and meaning. Talking about them often brings forgotten details back to life—and turns remembering into something deeply enjoyable.

Get started


Turn old photos into a timeless keepsake

With Remento, the photos that matter most become something lasting—thoughtfully narrated, preserved, and shared with family for generations to come.

Get started


What began as a few questions…

When Charlie Greene began recording his mom’s stories after her cancer diagnosis, he realized how much meaning can be missed when stories go untold. The moments of humor, courage, and insight he discovered inspired Remento—a way for families to preserve not just what happened, but what it meant—a journey that eventually led to Shark Tank and to families discovering one another all over again.
