Legacy Productions
Ask anyone if they'd want to gather the best stories of an older family member and few will say no. But in reality, most don't — lives are busy and equipment is expensive and tricky.
At Heritage Stories, we make it easy for families to do this important work. We work with you to produce everything from a beautifully crafted written portrait to a podcast series or short documentary.

Every project begins with a conversation. What we create is shaped entirely by what matters most to your family.
We sit with your loved one and ask meaningful questions that bring their life more into focus. Then we craft their responses into a short memoir written not as a transcript, but a narrative story. If available, we weave photos and memorabilia throughout. The final product is a beautifully printed hardcover book that will be passed down for generations.
Get in TouchThere are two or three stories at the center of every life, the ones that shaped everything else. In a single, focused session, we draw them out and record them with care. What your family receives is an heirloom-quality audio recording of your loved one, in their own voice, telling the stories that mattered most.
Get in TouchFor families who want a fuller telling, we sit down with your loved one for up to five sessions to move through the chapters of their life, from childhood to career, family, and what they've learned along the way. We shape the recordings into a series of podcast-style episodes your family can listen to together, again and again, for the rest of your lives.
Get in TouchTo see someone tell their story is something different entirely. We bring professional camera, lighting, and audio into their home, and spend time drawing out the moments that defined them. The result is a cinematic short film, edited with the care it deserves. Something your grandchildren will watch and feel they knew them.
Get in TouchTelling my life story was not always easy, but Nick made the process feel comfortable and even meaningful. He listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions and helped me express my memories. I felt understood every step of the way. Thanks to Nick, my life story is now something I can share with pride. I couldn't have done it without him.
