TESTIMONIALS
I’m eternally grateful for all of my wonderful clients.
Sissy, my heart is so full! Watching mom’s film, I saw exactly what you described – the process of creating emanated from deep inside of you and you found the perfect place for every photo, for every piece of music, even for the pauses in between! The emotion was so overwhelming, I was literally trembling from the very first frame. I can’t imagine a more beautifully woven story of mom’s life, and your hands have touched every moment of it. I don’t know how to express the gratitude I feel, Sissy! We are so blessed to have crossed each other’s paths. Thank you for the sacred gift you have given to our family. Sending you my love.

Wow, that was amazing, we are all crying. The music, the photos, and the way you put it all together, I am speechless. This is the greatest gift ever, priceless.
Darla Longo – Pasadena
Not a dry eye in the house. All I can say is THANK YOU! You are a gifted artist and we will cherish this from generation to generation. We were all talking that you deserve numerous Oscars: directing, cinematography, editing, music score. We are astonished, and you are amazing.
Leon Zekaria – Beverly Hills
I love you and I love this gift that you’ve given to me and my family. No words can explain what I feel right now! Just gratitude…..

Hi Sissy, we saw my mom’s legacy video last night and you did such a fabulous job! We loved it and I just want to say thank you for all of your hard work. Truly, it’s a family legacy to save!!! Thank you!

DEAREST SISSY,
Thank you so very much for creating a beautiful memory of our family history. Your work of blending interviews, photos, videos along with historical photos of the early years of our Dad’s life in the South Bay is an incredible gift for our family. Most especially, the legacy video brings our parents lives to life as you lead Morgan to share ideas about his childhood, young adulthood, work and community life, marriage, parenting , and grand-parenting years. The gift of enduring living memory of our Mom and Dad is truly priceless especially now that they are both deceased and waiting for us in heaven. We are able to keep the memory of parents alive in our hearts and minds as we view this video with their grandchildren and great grandchildren.
With much gratitude and love,
Karen

Sissy, there are no words to express how thankful I am that I connected with you. The video was absolutely beautiful and it touched everyone’s heart just as I wanted it to.

I second the motion! Sissy is amazing. So loving and so talented. Often the hardest part is sorting. She helps you distill down all the photos you have into a meaningful slide show too. ♥
Kristin Curren – Palos Verdes Estates
Dear Sissy,Thank you so much for creating an amazing photo montage for our twin daughters’ special event. You put your heart and soul into creating this wonderful gift for our family. The timing and tempo of the photos to the music was perfect. Everything flowed so beautifully. Memories of the past and present filled the room. The event was almost a year ago, and we continue to watch it frequently. Thank you so much, Sissy.

Thank you thank you thank you for the fabulous video you made for Davis’ 60th!! It was perfect and had some of our friends in tears. I loved the surprises with the video from when he was young and the Family Feuds clips too. Sooooooo funny! It was a great hit. Thank you again!!!!
Diane Moore – Palos Verdes Estates
Through the years I have been fortunate enough to experience MonaLisa’s work with creating photo montages of my family events. I have watched her grow and perfect her work with each and every project she takes on. From chronicling my children’s lives through the years to masterfully encompassing a lifetime of memories for my mother’s memorial, MonaLisa has so beautifully captured the true essence of each event. She genuinely has a talent for portraying exactly what I feel inside and she so eloquently brings the images to life. She has taken my most treasured memories and in turn has created a masterful archive which I will be able to enjoy forever. Her work is always a professional masterpiece and yet she always manages to give a personal touch to each and every creation. She is a natural joy to work with and she will immediately find a place in your heart.
Shireen Najah – Laguna Hills
Oh.my.gosh Sissy! I watched the whole thing in tears. So many special surprises – can’t believe you added video from our wedding and Dana’s and my graduation! I am truly in awe and she will be so touched, as will my entire family – so many special memories. I cannot thank you enough, Sissy! You poured your whole heart into this and it is so special!
Stacey Wilhem – Lunada Bay
Sissy gave me total peace of mind that all the really important items are organized and safe.
It is so great to have everything in one place! Both my sons recently had school projects that they needed pictures from when they were small. Before Sissy came to our house I would have panicked and spent 4 days finding and sorting pictures, and then panic that they would be lost! But, now I grab my appropriately titled disc and let them pick out and print the pictures they needed! It is a wonderful feeling to have such cherished memories so accessible and organized!
Thank you Sissy!!
Allison Mayer – Palos Verdes Estates
Sissy just completed archiving 35 years of memories/photos (thousands) that were a mess. She also created a cookbook with photos for my daughter comprised of family and friends recipes back to the early 1900’s from her Great Grandmother. Sissy is a true professional and bonus she is sensitive and perceptive. She discerned nuances of my family history after having met me one time. Beyond any expectations I could ever imagine. I am so grateful. A family history saved from cardboard boxes. She is a very special woman.
Judy Pollard – Lunada Bay
Oh my Gosh, Sissy, it’s just SO BEAUTIFUL!!! It’s soooooooooo perfect! I can’t believe the beautiful life I’ve been given. It’s so good that we kept going and didn’t stop with Cris’ passing. In my heart it just stops there. For the first time, ever, I see how beautiful, full, rich, happy, and complete my life has become. I truly can’t thank you enough for giving me this full circle visual that has taken me to this wonderful place where I am now.
Sharon Martin – Palos Verdes Estates
We couldn’t be happier with Sissy Jennings’ work. We gave her a collection of photographs taken over a several year period that had no real cohesion. She was able to organize and create a piece that tells a beautiful story about our family and connect the tale via her use of appropriate and inspiring music ques. Sissy totally exceed our expectations and has given us a gift that will last for generations.
Kathy Patman – Rolling Hills Estates
Dear Sissy, I want to thank you so much redoing my wedding album. Who would’ve known that my Dad would be gone within a year after my wedding? You found such amazing candid pictures of him to add to my original album. It is so special to me because those are truly who he was. I love looking at my “new” album and sharing it. I thought this type of project would be too much effort on my part, but you made it so easy. Thank you again! I love it! Now I just need to start collecting all the photos of my boys so you can organize them!
Linda Grande – Palos Verdes Estates
Dear Sissy, I cannot thank you enough for your time and the effort you took to help me organize my photos and all of our kid’s school work from the past several years. You are a life saver!! I so appreciate everything you did. Hope to see you soon.
Ashleigh Krauch – Manhattan Beach
A hearty and heartfelt recommendation for photo and video archiving,I had a ton of different format videos over the years and hundreds if not thousands of analog (printed) photos. I wanted them to all be put into a digital format so I could see them and enjoy them forever. Sissy Jennings did it for us and it was a stellar work, high quality, fast and very reasonable. I know Sissy through the years and consider her a friend and this was straight up solid work. Highly recommend.
Kevin Catlin – Palos Verdes Estates
Sissy put together a video montage for my father-in-law’s funeral a few years ago. She was so patient working with a grieving family with a only a few days to do the work. She really listened to what each family member wanted to highlight in the video and also helped chose appropriate music to compliment the video. She was able to portray how much this man was loved through many pictures. Something my in-laws still talk about today. She’s really the best at this!! Highly Recommend her….
Ingred Axtel – Palos Verdes Estates
Sissy, I can’t thank you enough for making my photo archival and album creation experience a treasured one! From my first complimentary meeting with you, I saw your immense passion for your craft. You are heartfelt, kind, patient, diligent, and truly care about producing quality work with your customers top of mind! I was blown away by your final product of photo albums you created for me as a gift to my mother on Mother’s Day. Thank you so much for sharing the ride and becoming a part of my memory journey! I will use your services again in the future, no questions!
Jamie Shinko – Rancho Palos Verdes
We are so happy we found Sissy! We have a stack of newspaper clippings and photos of our son that we yellowing and flaking. We wanted to preserve them in a book for my family before they were no longer salvageable. Because it’s so complicated to follow a newspaper article through thin columns while managing the newspaper titles and dates, we decided to find someone who could do this for us. We found Sissy! We couldn’t be more pleased! Not only is she capable of tracking a simple of complex project, but she is artistic, thoughtful, and patient. Without hesitation, if you want to preserve your family memories in a beautiful book and give a gift with immense meaning, we recommend Sissy!
The Fleishmans – Marina Del Rey
A million thank yous for putting something so memorable together at the last moment.
Patty Ochi – Palos Verdes
Dear Sissy,
I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful video! There were so many tears when we played it at the party. He loved it and said he stayed up half the night watching it over and over again! It was wonder to meet you, and I’m sure our paths will cross again! Thanks again!
Kathy Johnson – Lunada Bay
My beautiful friend, Sissy Jennings, dropped off; 8 perfectly organized, labeled photo albums, a hard drive, and flash drives (for each of the girls). They contain EACH AND EVERY MARTIN FAMILY – printed photo, digital photo, family video, scrapbook pages, team photo, class picture, professional, etc., you name it – Sissy captured and preserved EVERYTHING! This is her specialty – helping families to capture and preserve all of their memories. As you can imagine I have been concerned about preserving every photo that includes Chris. I don’t want to lose a thing! This is a huge weight off my shoulders. The highlight had to be a beautiful digital montage of our favorite family photos and videos set to the music we picked out, SO BEAUTIFUL! (She’s an experienced creative video editor). If you’ve been thinking about doing the same thing with your memories, please call Sissy! You will be amazed! She’s a talent and also unbelievably sweet!
Sharron Martin – Palos Verdes Estates
Sissy, I meant to write you the thank you note you so deserve for the absolutely beautiful videos you did for my mom’s 80th. So if it’s not too late, thank you, thank you, thank you! She was truly surprised, touched, and in awe of all the hard work that went into those videos, has watched them and re-watched them, and shared them with her friends and extended family. We showed it on a movie screen in the backyard and there were lots and lots of tears by all. It was truly a magical night for her in that regard, and we couldn’t have done it without your amazing talent, special touches throughout, mixing of video and photos, and truly capturing her very special life. I’ll never forget you encouraging me to do it while she is still alive, telling me that you’ve worked on so many for memorial services when the person being honored can’t enjoy them, especially as both my parents have had major health challenges since then where we could have lost them both. Truly, it was a once in a lifetime gift that was so unique and special and our entire family can’t thank you enough.
