About

Our goal is to help you enjoy life, create awesome memories and build strong relationships with your family. Along the way, we will take lots of “knock-your-socks-off” pictures and help you find creative ways to display your memories. At FotoFamilyMemories.com, we believe that you should enjoy and relive your photographs and memories every day, instead of just once or twice a year when you pull out the old photo album. We will work in photography, mixed media, polymer clay, wood, paper, glass, stone, paint, ceramics, concrete, wire, metal, and any other material we can find.

About the author:
My name is Texaiano, a.k.a. JD Gregg, and I am the founder of FotoFamilyMemories.com, a site that I started as a creative way to share my ideas and zest for life, as well as a way to express my passion for turning ordinary everyday photographs into things of art and beauty. I get a kick out of taking a good picture and then seeing how I can mod (modify) it - not just the usual Photoshop©; hacks, though I have been known to mock up a photo that way. The kind of mod that I enjoy takes the picture out of the photo album and puts it on display in a way that can be enjoyed everyday.

I remember one Saturday afternoon, after my family and I visited a friend’s farm and took tons of cute pictures of my kids with the animals, I was sitting at the computer working on reducing one of the pictures down to a coloring page. My oldest daughter, who is wise beyond her years, came up to me and said, “Dad, you really enjoy doing that don’t you? I bet you would do that all day if you could.”; I thought to myself, “You know. She’s right.”; I resolved then and there that I would do something more with my talent, and that’s how this site was born.
