Your Story, Beautifully Told

At Kindred Story Films, we believe family life is worth remembering exactly as it is… imperfect, cozy, and full of love. Each session is a relaxed, documentary-style experience that captures your family’s real moments. From pancake breakfasts to bedtime snuggles. You’ll receive a handcrafted short film and a gallery of still images that let you relive this season of life again and again.

Capturing the Heart of Family Life

From morning snuggles to pancake breakfasts, from tiny hands helping in the kitchen to quiet evenings at home. These are the stories worth keeping.

At Kindred Story Films, we craft films that feel like your family: real, heartfelt, and beautifully imperfect.

What We Offer

Every session includes a handcrafted family film and a collection of still images, thoughtfully edited to reflect your family’s rhythm, laughter, and love.

What a Family Film Session Feels Like

Imagine spending a slow morning together — pancake batter on the counter, little feet running down the hall, sunlight spilling across the floor. That’s where the magic happens. During your session, I quietly capture your family’s natural rhythm, turning those unscripted moments into a film that feels alive with love, laughter, and the beauty of your everyday life.

What Families Are Saying

Priceless…

“I can’t stop crying — in the best way. Watching our film felt like stepping right back into that day. The way my daughter’s little laugh was captured, the light in our kitchen, even the messy breakfast table. It’s all there, exactly as it felt. These films are a gift we’ll treasure forever.”

So Special…

“We didn’t realize how special it would be until we watched it. Our family film feels like a time capsule. Simple moments that mean everything now that the kids are growing so fast. The still photos are beautiful, but the film is what brings it all back to life.”
