About me
Owned and operated by Niki Schillerstrom
I've been taking pictures since I was 5-years-old and I'm a storyteller at heart. Let me help tell your family's story!
I can't help but be organized and would love the opportunity to sort through those boxes of photos and negatives for you. I'm a treasure-keeper, and moments in time are treasures.
Story behind the name
Aronel is my middle name, which is my Grandma's name, Lenora, spelled backwards. She went by Lee and was a strong influence in my life. I treasure her to this day, as she helped raise me as a kid, I lived with her for a brief time in my 20s and she was one of the first visitors after we had our son. I feel her over my shoulder as I run Aronel Archives, as proud as can be.
All the pictures on this site
All the pictures are scanned photos, negatives or slides that have been processed to restore them to their original beauty. Reliving history is an honor and being able to share that with others is a joy. Preserving your parents' childhood and grandparents' experiences helps you see them through new eyes. It's a gift you give yourself and those around you.
