Creating family interviews and memories now for future you. And your kids.
When I became a dad, time started zooming by faster than I could comprehend. I couldn’t help but hyper-documenting my little girl growing up and everything happening in our lives.
Even though I’ve always been one to document our family life, there was this new feeling of needing to express things in video (so that if something should happen to us) my little girl would know a bit about us and how much we love her.
We started doing family update videos like a little podcast or vlog and I this got me thinking about how family interviews would be something fun and meaningful for other families.
I did a few pilot interviews with some parents, grandparents, and even friend’s kiddos at the cottage.
Being able to connect with people to hear their childhood stories, parenting and life’s challenges — I just loved everything about it!
Now, it can be sit-down interview style or it can be chats during an activity or hanging with the family.
It’s all about capturing this moment in time. This season of life for future you and the kids so they get to know mom and dad a little better or what they were like as kids.
It’s about more home videos, so we can tailor it to whatever is most comfortable for you and your family.

Meet Nonna
“Bound us across continents and generations.
Even when she’s gone, we’ll find her in the tomato stains on an apron.
And the way she set the table and the smell of roasted garlic drifting down the hall.
Because some recipes aren’t written down — they’re remembered in the heart.”
This interview was at Nonna’s charming home with her 4 daughters.
We had a lovely conversation about what life was like in the early days in Italy, but also in coming to Canada.
Sam, one of her grandsons, wrote a beautiful poem for Nonna that really shows how much she is loved and how Nonna’s cooking brings the family together.
At the end, Nonna grabbed my face and said, “I’ll never forget you”.
The whole afternoon was truly heartwarming and what an honour to be able to create this keepsake video for their family.
The Van Herk’s
Meet the Van Herk’s!
We did this session in studio with mom and dad.
It was so touching to see how emotional dad got and to hear both their stories. We even did a little bonus session at the end with the girls since Justine just had her little one, I thought it would be cute to capture her thoughts on being childhood and now being a mother.
That’s the thing with these family interviews, it’s just moments and stories with whoever is important to you.
If all of this resonates with you, please get in touch. ◡̈
