Honest film of your everyday moments for laidback families.

Family + Newborn Videographer

Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

You probably have hundreds of videos on your phone, so why family films?

Family films are curated little movies from pieces of your life set to music. You know kids don’t keep. They grow more and more each day. One day, they’re mispronouncing words, and the next day, they’re giving a graduation speech, and you’ll wonder where the time went.

You can bottle up your favorite things about these moments to save for a rainy day when your heart needs it because you’re missing those snuggles and laughs.

Photos have a special place in my heart, but some moments need more than just a snapshot.

First Days with Caleb: Newborn Film

In the spring of 2023, I got to help welcome home Stephanie and Andy's first baby. We captured bath time, snuggles, and feedings. The pups loved to show me their new sibling. Filmed at their home in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Happy Client

“A video I will cherish forever!”

I hired Jessica to create a family video snapshot for us to capture all the sweet moments our family has in a normal day. I was nervous we would not have enough good content and that we might look or act awkward. I was also concerned evervone would constantly be looking at the camera and it would spoil the whole idea. I couldn't have been more wrong! Jessica was able to encourage us throughout the process, gently guiding while letting us make all the decisions! Her quiet calm presence was a joy to have with us and it was easy to act normal. She was able to capture beautiful moments between each of us and then seamlessly join them together into a video I will cherish forever!
