Photo Memories

Photo Memories, the paper crafting and scrapbooking division of Carsand-Mosher Photographic, has locations in Truro, Bayer's Lake and Moncton with the premier store located in the Bayer's Lake Business Park.

Carsand-Mosher Photographic, with its long history in the business of photography, recognized the need for people to tell stories with their photos. Responding to this need, we incorporated scrapbooking into our successful photographic enterprises. Over the years, the hobby and grown and evolved into an art form in its own right as people discovered the joy and satisfaction in preserving and sharing their histories.

Eventually, people began to look for more ways to share their pictures. With the blending our knowledge of photography and our dedication to capturing "those perfect moments in time", Photo Memories was born.

Photo Memories offer classes and workshops in many genres of paper crafting as well as carrying complete lines of albums and frames. Our state-of-the-art crafting studio in the Bayer's Lake location is a crafter’s haven providing a perfect place to crop and create. Drop by. Stay awhile. Make something wonderful!

Terry fell into paper crafting when he started searching for a way to present his pictures in a meaningful way. The girls love having him around for so many reasons – not the least of which is the male perspective he brings to the art of scrapbooking. Terry especially enjoys teaching beginner scrapbooking classes. He loves the rewards of introducing people to their pictures and their stories.

Cheri is famous (or infamous?) among her fellow staff members for her merchandising skills. She can often be found re-arranging and making new displays and has "an eye" for balance and for what just looks right. A talented photographer in her right, Cheri also has a passion for trying new things. Adventurous almost to a fault, she is frequently the first one to try new product. Her gift baskets have been a hit among those who want a special and unique gift to give to a crafting friend.

Karen's inevitable destiny of becoming a "career scrapbooker" was sealed from the very instant she was introduced to paper crafting. Scrapbooking was the natural progression of her long-time love of photography. She has an instinctive eye when it comes to colour - knowing exactly what works together and what doesn't. Without her, the store foliage would not stand a chance!

Crystal, who is unabashedly addicted to scrapbooking, likes to refer to her passion as "an addiction that is acid-free". Her huge smile and easy-going ways served her well for the many years she spent in the portrait photography industry. She especially enjoys heritage albums and can provide a wealth of information to those who are embarking on any heritage project. Her talent for calligraphy makes her a favourite during classes as people can frequently be heard saying, "Crystal, can you write this for me?"

A mother, a grandmother, a scrapbooker, a card-maker, a gardener, a photographer, a collector of poems and a nature lover – Brenda is the very heart and soul of Photo Memories. A scrapbooker and a card-maker for years before it was fashionable, Brenda uses her skills and talents to connect with people and never misses an opportunity to celebrate the little things.
