I never knew this could be done with my own photos and home videos. I've never cried like this since those months my son was in the hospital. Thank you Torrie for giving me such a beautiful gift in your work. We watch our family video nearly every day. My wife and I will treasure this forever. I really mean that.

We adore our DVD -- we've watched it at least once or twice every night! Not to mention 5 times the first 'viewing'! You did a great job. It's moved me to tears, and made both of us want to go back to New Zealand -- like, now.

Thanks A Bunch!

Wow! We just watched the DVD twice - and LOVE IT! Elegant, clear, good timing with the music - our girls story. We're very grateful. Thank you so much. It's clear you put a lot of time in this.

All Our Best,
Russ and Diane

I cannot tell you what a special thing it was to get that DVD yesterday...it arrived while 2 of our good friends were here. So, the 3 moms sat down with our girls and watched with tears streaming down our faces. Our daughter was squealing(happily!) and putting her hands all over the TV while she watched, too. Someday, we pray she can understand the blessing and miracle that she is to us!! What you did for us will definitely help her to know that! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! What a special gift and talent you have! Greg commented too, "It's amazing how you picked out the "key" moments out of all that." I know we wouldn't have been able to do it. We absolutely LOVE it!!

Sincerely,
Robin

It’s beautiful!!!!!!!! You are so talented. You matched the pictures to the music perfectly, and somehow made the still pictures come to life. I’m so glad I found you. You must make so many people so happy. I plan on putting one of the copies aside for our daughter to have someday. I know she will love it.

Thanks!!!!!!!!
Cindy

We LOVED the video! The three of us watched it together and all 3 of us cried! It was so clever and sweet--we cried, we laughed, we smiled, we remembered. Wow--oh, so long ago and she was such a little baby! Anyway, thanks SO much. We are excited to share it with friends and family. Great job!

Regards,
Yvette

The DVD is incredible! We have both watched it about 20 times. What you did with the pictures and the video footage is really amazing. I especially loved the way you faded pictures of Ayden in and out of other shots. We have shown it to many of our friends and family and everyone is just so pleased. You really captured the most important moments of our entire trip. We look forward to working with you again very soon... Maybe for a 1-2 year old video.

When our family traveled to China in December 2006 we literally took over 1200 pictures and several hours of video. We now have framed pictures all over our house, but we would never be able to find the time to sit and watch the video that we took. You created the most incredible 15 minute mini-movie of our trip, and watching it instantly takes us back to that most amazing two weeks!

Torrie beautifully combined the still photos with the best moments from our footage and set it all to the music we selected. She made use of all kinds of lovely video effects and backgrounds which enhanced the story of our journey. We highly recommend this service!

My husband and the girls loved the DVD's and were totally surprised. My husband had tears rolling down his face. It was such an incredible gift. They were proud to show them off to relatives and our friends. They enjoyed the memories that the video brought to them.

We were all impressed with your work and the many subtle touches that went with the music, and the creative ways you added video or pictures to the airplane wing or window or even faintly in the background. Also, I love your use of color with black and white. Very artistic!

Thanks again for your part in making our Christmas special this year!

Sincerely,
Paula

We are thrilled with the video. We have a hard time stopping it long enough to get anything done. You did a beautiful job! Neither my husband nor I are particularly good at videotaping, but you somehow found jewels in our veritable ocean of rocks and made something we will cherish for all time. Our daughter loves to watch it and point to her Dada and Mama and say her name over and over. We think you did a great job and are very happy.

Thank you again,
Lissa

Thank you so much for all of your hard work, each of the DVDs you have created for us have been wonderful. We have the best memories and thanks to you will be able to look back at them over and over again:) I will spread the word far and wide about your service.

Best wishes,
Sal

We just opened the box and watched it immediately. You did a beautiful job incorporating all of our photographs with the video clips. We felt like we were reliving our journey while we watched it. This will really help portray to our daughter what her first few weeks with us was like and how much we loved her from day one.

Thank you!

April and Greg

We wish to extend our overwhelming gratitude to Torrie for helping our family develop a vehicle to share with others the amazing journey of becoming a family. These story DVDs celebrate the two most important times in our lives and will stay with us and our daughters forever.

Thank you for this truly priceless gift and for helping us remember each time we watch the magic and wonder that is our daughters!

Daniel & Deborah

We are beyond thrilled and delighted with the masterpiece you created for our family of our adoption trip. Everything about it is perfect. Rarely do I let someone have free reign creatively on a project but I am thrilled I did so with this. I dare say I couldn't have made a more beautiful and moving tribute to our family, our daughter and her homeland. You have created a treasured memento for our family that we will have for generations and we sincerely thank you.

Warmest regards,
Scott and Karen

Our Experience has been fantastic with Torrie. We live in Norway, but communication was never a problem. Emails were answered same day. The DVD was just perfect. We could not have asked for more.

Thank you so much Red Thread Stories for this beautiful gift that our family is extremely grateful for.

Best wishes,
Sally
