Joyce, we loved the slide show. My children were thrilled to see the old photos. The music is a perfect fit. We laughed and cried happy tears. Your creative movement of the pictures and perfect music is amazing. Thank you for saving these special memories for us! We will cherish them always.
Joyce took a scrapbook and an audio cassette of my Uncle Kenny who was killed in Vietnam and created an amazing tribute to his life. Joyce's hard work and creativity resulted in so much more than I had expected. Joyce and her husband John were a joy to work with! I strongly recommend anyone who has pictures they cherish to hire Joyce. Sincerely, Dee Dee Cutler

Joyce did our wedding at the beginning of her business...She did a fantastic job and was an absolute lifesaver, as our original wedding photos did not turn out!! Without our Joycee {and the photos she took herself} we would have NO memories of our special day. I wouldn't go to anyone else, as she puts her heart and soul into each photo. Not only that, but you're dealing with one, honest lady and one "hot' grandma!! We love her.
Kay Frazier Bardin of Bakersfield CA:
Oh, Joyce, this is so wonderful! Larry and I have already watched it completely through twice. What a talent you have! You've exceeded what we expected!! Thank you!

Joyce, she loved it, it turned out great, everybody loved it. My mom sat up front with her brother and sister and they loved the whole thing, it was so fun to see them together and reminiscing the past!

"Reesie, I just watched Taft's video and was so touched and amazed at its quality and message....It is such a powerful blend of photos, music and careful, incremental organization, that it does send an indelible message.....Some of the favorite pictures I loved most were of Taft helping another younger boy learn, seeing him so many times in uniform and going up for his Salutory speech as a graduate in high school. It was a beautiful thing to watch...Whoever did it should be highly congratulated too."
Everyone should have a personal chronological slide show in their library, if for no other reason, than to show your grandkids what you were doing at various stages of your life.
Joyce is such an artist, she can turn ordinary photos into an academy award winning performance, with you and your family as the stars. I highly recommend Joyce to handle all of your media moments, to cherish forever.

I love Joyce's DVD slideshows. Joyce made the most beautiful tribute for my mother-in-law's funeral. She was able to bring to life all of her special accomplishments, and portray through slides and music, the giving and compassionate person she was. The music brings a lump in your throat, and can 'take you back' into the moment you are trying to preserve.Everyone should have a personal chronological slide show in their library, if for no other reason, than to show your grandkids what you were doing at various stages of your life.

Believe me, Joyce’s shows are more than “just” a slideshow. Through the use of movement & music, she has the gift of evoking emotion. Literally, one minute you’re laughing and the next crying. Joyce has done a least ½ a dozen shows for me. Ranging from family reunions, travel logs & seasonal greetings I share with family & friends, not to mention shows dedicated to my beloved pets! These shows are NOT your typical slideshows that we have all been subject to & kindly watch as not to hurt our hosts’ feelings. Everyone I have shared my shows with have raved about them, & actually enjoy watching them. They always ask “what are you doing next”, or “when’s the next one coming out? They make absolutely perfect gifts for your loved ones, nothing could be more personal! Memories that will be cherished for years to come.

Hi Joyce. I asked Tracy to give me your e-mail so I could tell you in person how I feel about the b'day DVD. It's a treasure - almost as much so as the gathering of dearest friends and family felt to me (and Bix). The way you put it together was just right and showed great intuition and sensitivity (granted you had great material to work with). We are thrilled and I'm excited to be able to share it with others. Tears and laughter, Joyce. What could be better. Many, many thanks. Laima and Bix

Joyce is a real master in how she synchronizes video, still pictures and music--these are real pieces of art. Can anything good come out of Susanville? You bet it can, it’s called Joyce Hopkins!

We were absolutely impressed with the quality of Joyce's work. She was able to capture my mom's life from beginning to end and added special songs that touched our hearts deeply. We will forever be greatful to Joyce for her hard work and devotion to this passion of telling someone's life story. I would recommend Joyce to anyone looking to capture memories in this way or any other way!

Joyce’s creations are a masterpiece you will enjoy for the rest of your life. Her blending of pictures and music come together in a way that will make anyone who sees them smile. Whatever occasion it is for, she will create a memory of it for you, your friends and family.

My wife and I were extrmely excited to have a video put together of our life before and after we met. Joyce was extremely patient with us and allowed us to have so much input on what we liked and what we wanted to incorporate. We found the perfect songs and pictures and she was able to make them come together in a way that truly represented what we wanted. We would gladly and whole heartedly recommend her work to anyone.

The night we celebrated {my grandparents} anniversary, we had them open presents after dinner. I wasn't sure they would know what the gift was when they first saw it. But my grandma cried when she opened it. We huddled around my cousins laptop and watched it. Everyone ooed and awed and laughed over the pictures and memories. It was such a success - everyone loved it and kept saying so. My grandpa was impressed by the effects and my grandma was amazed at how special it is to see the pictures put to music. So - thank you so much. It was definitely a highlight of the week.

Two years ago, I finished production of a Christmas Album, "Merry Christmas from Malcomb". In an effort to get some mass exposure for the cd, I asked Joyciegirl DVD Creations to create a video which interpreted the lyric of the title song, "Malcomb the Christmas Moose". I was apprehensive about this because the video clip had to both represent the lyric and at the same time create some "fancy" that enhanced the magic of a special Christmas Eve. When I saw the finished product, I was simply delighted, both warmed by the video images and intrigued with the professional expertise that reflected my song. It went up on YouTube and I was enormously pleased with the product. You can look for it next holiday season.
