The process is simple and stress-free! Once you book, we’ll chat about what makes your family unique and the kind of moments you’d love to capture. On the day, I’ll spend around two hours filming—usually a mix of time in your family home and somewhere close by, like a favourite park or outdoor spot. My style is relaxed and unobtrusive, so you can just be yourselves while I capture your natural interactions. After the shoot, I carefully edit the footage into a heartfelt film that reflects your family’s story (using royalty-free music). You’ll receive your finished film within a few weeks, ready to enjoy and share.

While these films are most focused on capturing intimate moments with your immediate family, they can absolutely include extended family members like grandparents or siblings. It’s a wonderful way to capture multigenerational bonds! That said, we do cap the number of people at around 8 to keep the focus on personal interactions rather than turning it into an event shoot.

Absolutely! Gifting a family film is such a meaningful way to show someone you care. Whether it’s for your partner (let mum be in the videos for once!), new parents, grandparents, or a family you love, this gift lets them slow down and capture the moments they’ll treasure forever. We provide a gift voucher so they can book at a time that works best for them.

Not at all! The focus is on capturing your natural moments together. However, answering a few simple questions can be a lovely addition to your video. These soundbites—like talking about a favourite memory, a milestone, or what makes your child unique—help tell your story in a deeper way and capture more of the essence of this moment in time. In fact, interweaving these voiceovers throughout the film is the secret sauce of Keeper Films. It adds a deeply personal layer that makes your family’s story come alive in a way that feels authentic and timeless. If you’re open to it, we make sure to keep it feeling natural and easy.

Don’t worry—this is totally normal! The beauty of these films is that they’re all about real moments, so there’s no pressure for anyone to "perform." I take a laid-back approach, giving kids (and adults!) time to feel comfortable. We’ll focus on activities they enjoy, whether it’s reading a book, going wild in the park, or just snuggling on the couch. Often, those candid moments turn out to be the most meaningful in the finished film.

Yes, I would love to capture the incredible moment of a child’s birth—it’s such a powerful and intimate experience. This would be a separate offering with its own pricing package, as it involves a very different approach, including being on call around your due date and the unique nature of the filming. If this is something you’re interested in, let’s chat about your vision and how I can help tell your story in the most meaningful way.
