Are family videos for you?

You may have been asking yourself if a family film/video is right for your family. It’s a question I often think about with new clients because I truly believe every family deserves their story to be more fully preserved in a way that includes sound and movement.

It all begins with listening | A Day in the Life Film Session with the R-P Family

The stars + planets have been aligning just right because I’ve come to meet some pretty fantastic families. This one, in particular, will always have a warm place in my heart. They initially reached out because their 91 year old grandmother was visiting, and they thought they would value some photos of this special time […]

What is a Day in the Life Video Session?

Nothing turns my heart into mush like a Day in the Life Session. These family video sessions memoralize your typical day, your routines, and everything in between so that you can return to it anytime you’d like. There’s nothing quite like capturing your family this way. It’s real. It’s golden. It is a part of […]
