You've stayed up late scrolling through old videos, haven't you.
You already know how fast it goes.
This is what it feels like to watch your family's year come alive.
Every day you capture something — a giggle, a tantrum, a quiet moment on the couch. You're already documenting your family. You're just not doing anything with it yet.
The Time Capsule is how that changes.
Once a month, in less than three minutes, you drop your recent photos and videos into a shared folder. That's your only job. We handle everything else — storing it, shaping it, weaving it together with the professional footage we capture with you — until the end of the year, when we hand you a cinematic film of your entire year. Something real. Something you'll watch together on the couch and never want to end.
Not more phone photos. Your family's story, made on purpose, before another year slips away.

“One of my fears is that I won’t be able to remember it all… that there is no true way to capture each child’s face, postures, movements, texture… that those things will slowly slip away from me as they grow and change. But your Family Films are a way to save it. I want you to know that I will treasure and savor every second of this film, forever.”
— Rachel, Durham, North Carolina
How it works:
Each month, you'll get a gentle reminder to drop your footage — snippets, videos, voice memos, anything — into our shared folder. Add a note about something you want remembered: a milestone, a funny thing they said, a song that was on repeat. It takes less than three minutes.
We do the rest. Storing it, organizing it, building the story slowly across the year.
At the end of the year, we deliver your cinematic Family Film and heirloom photo album — something your family will cozy up and watch together, year after year.
What You’ll Receive
A cinematic Family Film — your footage and ours, seamlessly woven together
A custom heirloom photo album
A keepsake box with prints and an engraved USB

We make preserving your family memories easy, so you can just be fully present to all the beauty. Here’s how:
Katrina and Mark, your family historians
Document more than one beautiful day. Celebrate the everyday.
Of course, a family photo or video session is amazing, but that’s just one day. Hilarious, sweet, and tender moments happen all year long – and they’re important too. Let us be your personal family historians, preserving your moments in a time capsule. (And remember, delivering your footage and notes to us will take less than 3 minutes of your time each month!)
Trust us, your future self will be so grateful for this… and it will take the work off your plate.

Both the Classic & Premium collections include photos and video!
With all 3 collections, you will receive a full collection of photographs to save for archival purposes and digital files so you also have the ability to make and share your own prints. Your Keepsake box will also include a selection of 4 x 6 prints.

Yep! Once you sign up and make that initial payment, you can book your session immediately (you’ll get the link for the calendar right away). Further, you will receive your photo gallery on my normal schedule (typically 2-3 weeks after the session), and will be able to download your files right away. Your Family Film will be curated and delivered in December.
-
The mini-session option is something I wanted to offer to members simply because sometimes they come in handy. Let’s say you want to get a few professional family photos when your parents and siblings all come to town for an event, or you’re pregnant and would like a few photos of your belly but would rather schedule your “real” session when the baby comes, or you and your partner both need updated headshots… these are all examples where a 30-minute session with 10 files is plenty. I don’t offer those to the general public, but they’re going to be an option for all my members at any time.
A small number of families each year. If you've been thinking about this, now is the time.
