In the most succinct terms, I teach people to document the stories of their families from newborns to elders using photography, video, audio, books, and hand-made items. The goal is to mix digital media with tangible media that will tell your unique story.
Soon! Summer 2021 is the target for the first set of workshops.
It is my dream to create an online community where individuals can take my method, document their family stories, share them, and get inspired. This is a feel good place where we can celebrate family and our history. All good vibes!
Nope. You don't even have to participate in a workshop. Just come and see what everyone is making.
I have a very unique style in that I use photography and video to tell the stories of my clients. I prefer natural light and honest moments. Every family is different, so a portrait and/or video session will unfold a little differently for everyone, but my goal is document your family in all their uniqueness. I have a very comfortable and loose shooting style, nothing too posey posey, and just enough direction to get an honest smile out of you. At times, it may even feel conversational. This is be design. Often times, those moments when you let your guard down end up being the most beautiful images I capture from the whole session.
Here is my advice to prepare yourself for a photo and/or video session
I take cash, check, credit card, Venmo, Cash App, and Applepay. I will take PayPal in a pinch, but I am moving away from their services.
I find that oral history sessions are the most successful if I come to your location and conduct the interview from the comfort of your home. We will choose a time that is convenient for you and determine a location in your home that has reasonable light. Usually, the dining room table is the easiest location. I come from the belief that photos and mementos are the best triggers of memories, so collect your photos and objects (especially the oldest ones you have, even if they are from family members long passed) and be prepared to talk about them. I will start an oral history session from your birth, but if a photo gets you off track, don't worry. I LOVE unstructured oral histories because memories are not analog, and I will get the best stories from you if you feel free to move around.
If you have stories about your elders that are passed, please be prepared to speak about them too. Oftentimes, some of us are the last keepers of the stories of our elders. These oral history sessions are vitally important to document those stories.
It takes me about 10 minutes to setup. The oral history interview itself can take anywhere from an hour to an hour and half, and then another ten minutes for me to disassemble. Depending on the length of your interview, and the amount of supplemental photos and videos you include, it can take me anywhere from 3 weeks to 5 weeks to finish your oral history film.
There is an additional fee to expedite films.
Your final films will come to you both through an online link and on a thumb drive.
I work with businesses as small as a sole proprietor, to nonprofit organizations, to schools, to NGO's, to large corporations.
Yes! And better yet, when you do you will save $$. Just let me know what you are interested in and I can tailor a package to your needs.
Photos edits can vary from a few days to a up to two weeks, depending on the project. Video projects can be delivered in as early as 3 weeks but can take upwards of 6 weeks, again, depending on the project.

Morning cuddles over coffee? Baking cookies with Dad? Bedtime routines from pajama'd feet, to brushed teeth, to books in bed. These are the things daily rituals that nostalgia is made of.

My unique method of an "unstructured oral history interview" certainly documents an individual's life, but the stories are the driving method of documenting that history. The resulting Oral History Film is anything but dry. The oral history is propelled by available photographs, film/video, etc. Length of film and final price depend on interview length, photos/videos included, and preferred length of final film. Inquire for more info.

The resulting film is between 12-17 minutes in length.
Using a mixture of photographs, available film/video, and family interviews, a Memorial Film is the perfect way to honor a loved one that has passed.
