Producing custom biographies
of you or your loved ones

Preserving memories, experiences, wisdom and love
in a priceless video for future generations.

Professional 4K Videos produced for generations to come

We don’t know how long our senior loved ones will be with us, and they have so many stories to tell. Before they’re lost forever, Family History Studio™ captures and preserves the storyteller’s precious memories through spirited, in-depth video interviews.

And!

We bring to life old photos/slides, home movies and videos; mementos, additional footage and more, when we expertly weave them into the video to enhance their story.

Imagine the joy and satisfaction knowing you’ve helped preserve key elements of your family history for generations.

It’s a family gift that will only become more valuable over time.

Additionally, under the expanding family history umbrella, we produce short milestone bios for family members at various stages in life – graduations, wedding couples, anniversaries, retirements, and more!

"We are all storytellers… There isn’t a stronger connection between people than storytelling.”

Jimmy Neil Smith

"Wow! No one has ever done anything like this for me before. Thank you so much James!"

Keith Howard

"When I asked James Howard to work with me, I knew he was a highly skilled artist – his lighting, camerawork and editing are consistently flawless. Additionally, he has the ability to put the subject at ease and bring out the best in them, no matter their experience or inexperience before the camera."

Chris Cummings

"I was extremely happy with my video created by James Howard. It was beautifully shot and lit, and James' questions and editing choices led to a brilliantly integrated balance of professional and personal elements. Both in the initial filming and editing process, James was thorough, considerate and willing to consult, with the ultimate goal always the creation of the best product possible."

Ben Stein

“From the moment James met my mother, she felt completely at ease. Through James’ process of getting to know her, prepping her, video interviewing her, and expertly editing her life story, my mother’s video became a beautiful piece that our family will enjoy forever. Thank YOU James for your kindness, humanity and professionalism.”

Martina Sobotik Petrela

Thank you James for your great job on my story! At one point watching the video with my son, I totally forgot it was me telling the story. You did a great job editing my story together, and made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera!
