We recently had the privilege of sitting down with Deanna Falzone and learn about an incredible new opportunity she provides to capture the life and legacy of beloved parents and grandparents. This is a priceless treasure for generations to learn and preserve the story of family.

I’ve been filming a few LifeTree Legacy sessions lately… and every single time I walk away feeling so inspired.

I sit down with someone and we just start talking about their life…where they grew up, how they met their spouse, what raising kids was like, the hard seasons, the funny moments, the things they’ve learned along the way.

And honestly… I walk away learning so much every time and often gain a new perspective on life.

There’s something really powerful about hearing someone reflect on an entire life lived. The wisdom. The perspective. The little stories their family may have never even heard before.

It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite things I’ve ever done.

And the best part is knowing their kids and grandkids will have that forever…their voice, their stories, their personality. All in a video they can watch for years to come.

I have a couple openings coming up if anyone has a parent or grandparent they’d love to capture something like this with.
