Legacy
A voice is the first thing
you forget.
A legacy reel preserves a person's voice, stories and heartfelt messages, so loved ones can continue to hear them, remember them, and feel connected long after they are gone.
Why it matters
Your story is important.
Let me help you tell it.
We plan for births with celebration. Why shouldn't we approach the rest of it the same way, with intention, love and peace?
Most people never think to write it down. Then someone dies, and the family realizes no one ever asked why she left Pennsylvania, what he was like at nineteen, or how that recipe actually goes. The photographs stay unlabeled. The voice fades first.
Legacy work is the one piece of this work that is entirely about living. And it is the piece families thank me for most.
See one

Professional filming in the comfort of your home, guided by questions designed to draw out the stories that matter.
Video interview
Professional filming in the comfort of your home, so nobody has to perform for a camera in a strange room.
Family legacy
Guided questions to capture meaningful stories and memories, including the ones nobody thinks to ask about.
Story sharing
Wisdom, life lessons and family history, passed on to future generations in their own voice.
A lasting gift
Something the family can return to on birthdays, at weddings, and on the days they simply miss the sound of them.
Investment
Legacy Reel packages.
Priced by the length of the interview. Every package includes professional filming in your home.
Foundation Package
Best for your budget. A base interview with title cards added.
Photo Package
Photographs woven in to illustrate the stories told during the interview.
Not sure which length is right? That’s exactly what the free consultation is for.
Leaving More Than Memories
More than a journal — a guided legacy experience. Gentle prompts to help you capture the stories, wisdom, traditions, and heartfelt messages you want to pass on — at your own pace, in your own time.
Examples
Legacy, in practice.
Pieces I've made for my own family, and things I've collected along the way.
Legacy work isn't always a reel. We can work together to create something uniquely “you” that will still be impactful, and smaller projects like these cost far less than a full reel.

The first step is always
a gentle conversation.
