Family With Us Projects

What moments do you want to preserve?

Shanachie Studios creates family legacy pieces through the lens of video and photography. We work with families to capture life stories, milestone moments, and family traditions with those relatives who are with us to capture those moments in real time. Take a look at our project options and give the gift of preservation to your own family.

LIFE STORIES

Digital Video
-Individual life story
-Anniversary documentary
-Family history piece

What are those questions you have not asked your parent or grandparent yet? Those bits of family history and old stories that come out during family gatherings?

Take the opportunity to preserve your family member’s life experiences — their favorite memory as a child, the story on how your parents met, the journey of your grandparent immigrating to the United States. What family memories have had an impact on who you are and how you live your life? By preserving your family member’s experiences, voice, laughter, and mannerisms you are actively ensuring that your family member’s legacy is kept alive.

FAMILY EVENTS

Digital Gallery - Digital Video - Both
-Weddings + Anniversaries
-Birthdays
-Holidays and family gatherings

Whether celebrating a 90th birthday, annual golf outing, family gathering or two families joining together for a wedding, it is important to document these current moments as life can quickly pass us by. It is these big moments and small traditions that we look back on, remember fondly, and share with family and friends.

Preserve your milestone moments through a gallery of images, a short video piece, or a combination of both that highlights your family’s beautiful day.

FAMILY PORTRAITS

Digital Gallery or Framed Photos
-Individual portraits of your parents or grandparents
-Anniversary portraits for your parents or grandparents
-Generational family portraits

Photographs are true family heirlooms that have been passed down from generation to generation. In an age where we have so many images living in a digital format, why not actively capture a portrait that can be physically held and framed within your home?

Whether a black and white photograph of your grandfather sitting in his favorite chair, a generational portrait of you, your daughter, and your mother for Mother’s Day, or even portraits of your parents on their golden anniversary, these photographs can preserve a moment in time for you and your children to enjoy.

KITCHEN MOMENTS

Digital Gallery - Digital Video - Both
-Individual and generational kitchen moments
-Recipe photo album

The kitchen is the heart of our home — The place where we gather together, listen to family stories, and share our precious family dishes. Why not preserve our chefs and teachers during these moments — our parents and grandparents — that have taken care to pass down these recipes to the next generation?

Document your family members creating your own favorite family dishes, or capture those generational traditions of gathering in your kitchen over the holidays. Preserve these moments in a digital or framed portrait series, photo album, family video, or recipe book that your family can enjoy in the years to come.
