A filmed life story for someone you love

Every Life Leaves A Ripple

A beautifully guided filmed conversation for your mom, grandmother, partner or another woman you love, capturing the stories, wisdom, laughter, love and experiences that shaped her life.

Tell Me About Her Get the 10 Questions

You already know so much about her

You know her laugh. Her sayings. The meals she makes without measuring.

And there is still so much more to know.

The girl she was. The moments that changed her. What she fought for. What she is proud of. What she understands now. What she still dreams about. What she wants the people she loves to know.

HerStoryInStone creates the space for those stories to surface naturally, in her own voice.

This began with family

Three beautiful books. All still empty.

For three years, I gave my mom beautiful books meant to help her write down her stories. All three stayed empty.

Not because she did not have stories. She has hundreds. Writing simply was not the way she wanted to tell them.

What if for some, a better way to preserve a life was not asking them to become a writer, but giving them a beautiful conversation to record instead?

That was the beginning of HerStoryInStone.

A whole life has chapters

Then and now

One photograph can hold who she was. Another can show who she became. Together, they invite the stories in between.

Anna then. Anna now. So many stories in between.

Maureen and Maynard then. Maureen and Maynard now. What a joy it was to capture their love story, adventures, wisdom and so much more.

One of the reasons this matters to me

I wish I had asked her more

I loved my Babcia deeply. I knew the woman she became. There was still so much about her life I never thought to ask.

It is so important to capture the stories while they are still here to share them.

A conversation designed around you

I have spent more than a decade creating spaces where people feel seen, asking better questions and helping people see themselves differently.

HerStoryInStone brings those years of listening, facilitating and working on both sides of the camera into one deeply personal experience.

Because life is worth understanding, sharing and celebrating.
