Family films are a time machine.
Authentically capturing your story.
Cherished for a lifetime.

Do you want to capture the everyday laughter, love, and a bit of the chaos that fills your home but is often never recorded because it is just ordinary?
Are you afraid of forgetting the beautiful details of your life raising kids, like how he mispronounces certain words or how she sticks her tongue out when she concentrates? Or even more so, how you smile when you hug your children or how small their hand was inside your own?
Do you want to invest in a way to freeze special moments in your life with value that only increases with time?
Do you want a documentary style film that tells the story of your family's current season instead of random video clips & thousands of photos that no one really wants to watch?

With a family film, we can do just that.

A family film captures the emotion, sounds, personality and character of your family. I promise your little ones will want to watch it again and again (ask me how I know).

And so will you.

Dear Parents, you deserve to be on camera too. You are the biggest part of your child’s memories.

Parents are seldom in pictures or videos with their kids. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see & hear you read a book together, laugh, go on a walk, hang out on the couch, sing, tickle, hug, and every precious little moment we do not want to forget?

Not only for you, but for your kids. It is a treasure for them too. Ensures they will never forget how loved they are nor all the simple, yet special things you did for them.

These are your family’s core memories.
Captured in video.
A family heirloom.

The days are long and the years are short.
Let me freeze this moment.

When the weight of time fades at your memories, documentary family films will transport you back to this season.

Imagine the impact of not only seeing but hearing a special moment from your past filmed in a way that tells your story. Delight in the sound of their young voice, gasp at the size of their little feet, recall their favorite toy, gaze at the adoring look between siblings, and perhaps weep at the interactions with a lost loved one.

The value of a family film increases with time.

There is no script; No matching outfits required; No awkward posing; Just an opportunity to connect as a family. I’ll document your ordinary life and turn it into a magical family film.

How does this work?

Client Questionnaire

Once we connect, I’ll get to know your family better.

What do you hope to never forget about your life right now?
Tell me more about your family (i.e. nicknames, ages, interests, favorite activities, etc.)

Phone Call

Let’s chat to review the questionnaire. We’ll also discuss location, activities and length of session.

Film day

I’ll tag along with your family, filming small clips at a time. Kids are free to be themselves. I will quietly document your family and capture the love you all share.

Editing

Afterward, I’ll create your family film, which will be set to licensed music. I want you to love your film as much as I do, so I welcome a discussion around genre of preferred music styles.

Family Film Premiere!

My favorite part – sending you the email with your film! Grab the tissues & popcorn. I recommend streaming it on your TV together as a family for the first showing – and for the “again! again!” your kids will surely say.

Don't take my word for it...take theirs...

"So cool to see us all interact and be versus only getting a snapshot of it when I'm behind the camera!"

Oh my gosh I freaking love it!!! It's amazing! So cool to see us all interact and be versus only getting a snapshot of it when I'm behind the camera, not getting to be part of it and juggling the life that's also happening and unfolding as I'm filming. Such a special treat and memory we'll get to cherish forever and will literally have me crying for years as I watch it. THANK YOU. So happy you are doing this. Not only are you skilled, but brining so much joy to families. -- Karina

"These ordinary yet common moments are what we as parents forget to document"

I didn’t realize how powerful and incredible a professional family video would be!!! Jessica was so easy and fun to work with while she captured some super ordinary activities in our backyard like pushing our kids on the swings. And that’s exactly why the video is so magical!! These ordinary yet common moments are what we as the parents forget to document because we feel like we are always doing them (or busy doing something else!) and YET— we long to remember how they looked swinging and smiling in our backyard as we see them grow taller and older right under our nose. The joy and love we feel when watching this video is indescribable! Anything that can help us count our blessings is worth it, and that’s exactly what these family videos do! I can’t recommend this investment in your family enough!! -- Stephanie

"It allowed me to put down my phone and be in the moment with my family."

What an amazing idea for families to capture their memories! It allowed me to put down my phone and be in the moment with my family. This video is a treasure that we will always have to remember our time together with cousins. I also love that I am in the video, which doesn't happen very often as a mom. Jessica was so incredible to work with. Her sweet demeanor made everyone so comfortable and relaxed while she was filming us. She has a remarkable way of capturing shots in unique and beautiful ways. I would 100% recommend Jessica to film your next big event, time with family or just an ordinary day. -- Christine

"Every time I watch it, it brings tears to our eyes."

My family and I had the most wonderful experience with Jess. She made a beautiful video of our little family of 3 and every time my husband and I watch it, it brings tears to our eyes. Working with her was very easy, she made us feel comfortable and gave us directions when we needed them. She came to our home in East Boca and then we went off to the beach. I am so very thankful for the video memory she has created for us. What a wonderful way to remember the toddler days once our little one is all grown up (or after bedtime nostalgic video watching lol) -- Natalie

"It was a fantastic experience and the outcome was everything!"

We could not be more thrilled with our family film by Jessica! We were nervous at first, not having done anything like this before, but she made us feel so comfortable and loved throughout the entire process. Having her here was like having a family member in our home, easy and casual. We talked, laughed, played with our baby, and went about all the things we normally do without having to feel like we were on stage. It was a fantastic experience and the outcome was everything!!! We are beyond thankful we have this memory of our first child to look back on forever. Thank you, Jessica!!! -- Jade
