Family Lifestyle: The Copes

This family has much going on in their lives, and are living far away from their families.  They had the idea to create this video to give as gifts to family and to keep as a journal for all the fun and important things in their day-to-day.

This is a longer than usual film at around 11 mins, but I just couldn't  didn't want to cut it down any more.  With three active kids, dad in medical school, and mom a Barre instructor and super-mom it took time to capture enough to show what their lives are like at this point and place in time.

Soccer games, dance, 1st birthdays, medical school, Barre class, piano practice, bed-time routines, family park time, and more…

Holiday Video Cards + Lifestyle

This idea could be applied to any occasion! All of these happen to have kids in them-- who LOVE to watch themselves.  Everyone below said their kids watched it over and over and over.  They may be the biggest fans of this video style.

Each family chose the activities, interview questions, and music.  It was used to send by email and social media to family and friends as their Christmas Card for the year.

Family Lifestyle: The Bensons

This film features the Benson family: Taylor, Teigan, Beckham, and Logan.  A few words from the family:  

"Now we have these funny things he [Beck] says documented."  

"The kids watch it every day.  They really do."  

"Can I watch my movie?"  

"Beck laughs at himself and thinks he is so funny and now quotes himself."  

"This is something we will treasure."  

"It's a little glimpse of what we do everyday."  

"The scenes of Teigan and Logan in his room before nap time just captures exactly how it really is."  

I really love these lifestyle videos.  I also love the Bensons.  You probably will to after watching this! Needless to say, this was a fun project for me.  I've included a few words on this idea of lifestyle and interview videos:

LifeStyle

Preserve this moment in your families' life with a customized video that chronicles the activities of a normal day in your home. The video will showcase each family member's interests and create a "moving color memory" of your life. Let me help you create a family keepsake or unique and personal gifts for family members. Post online for a fun way to share a glimpse of simple, everyday happenings with your friends and family, or even create DVDs to give as gifts.

Interview

"What's the silliest thing your have ever done?" Do you know how your children would answer? How about grandma or Uncle Joe? Video interviews are a terrific way to capture memories and individual personalities of family members. They allow great-grandpa's wisdom to benefit family members for generations to come. Professional sound recording and editing, combined with your favorite music creates a gift families will treasure.

The first is a more condensed and precise version of a few favorite family activites, candid moments, and 4-year-old Beck's musings and interview answers.

Kelsey & John Michael

Granted I've not spent much time in Brownfield, TX, but I would have never imagined it had such a beautiful wedding venue as the one where Kelsey and John Michael were hitched.  This lovely couple, tons of family and friends, natural outdoor beauty, perfect handmade decorations, no rain and all shine made for a beautiful night.  I don't think I've met a more gracious couple than Kelsey and John Michael.  Here is a recap of their night:
