Capturing the Memories
Your family gathering will be a memorable event. It’s also the perfect time to explore and preserve your family’s history and traditions. You can capture the memories in many ways including photographs, video recordings, video heirlooms and scrapbooks.
Group Photos
A group photo captures everyone who attends your gathering all at once. That makes it the single most important image of the event. READ MORE
Snapshots
Candid photos capture people doing what they do best — being themselves. READ MORE
Video Recordings
Video is unbeatable at capturing the physical side of life: what the kids looked like when they were growing up, the sound of people’s voices and laughter, crazy fashion trends, etc.
Many of the videography best practices are the same as photography. Most importantly, relax, have fun and let your family and friends’ personalities shine through! READ MORE
Video Heirlooms
Life is full of pearls of wisdom and experiences that can benefit you and those around you. Preserve those nuggets of life stories, family history, wisdom and experience. Putting together a video about the lives of the people most important to you is more than just a fulfilling experience, it's one of the most unique gifts you can give your family. And it will last more than a lifetime. You can capture footage at the reunion, or shoot it before the event and show it that day. READ MORE
Scrapbooking
More than compiling a record of a gathering, creating scrapbooks can be a rewarding, creative hobby. And, it’s one that can be shared with others. Complete a scrapbook of your gathering. Then take it to the next gathering for everyone to enjoy. Who knows? It could be the start of a family tradition. READ MORE
Family Tree
Are you distantly related to a Revolutionary War general? When did your ancestors come to America? Are there any horse thieves or famous inventors in your family background? READ MORE
