Story Keeper · Done for you

One day, all that's left of them
will be what someone thought to capture.

Story Keeper is the gift of being remembered. We interview your mother, your father, your grandparent — gently, over a few weeks — and hand your family a finished film, a hardcover book, and their voice, kept forever.

No pressure, no obligation · We do all the work · Starts within a week

When was the last time you heard your grandmother's voice? Not a photo of her — her voice. The way she paused before a story. The way she laughed at her own joke before the punchline.

Most of us can't answer that. Not because we didn't love them — but because no one ever sat them down, pressed record, and asked. Story Keeper is us doing that for you, before the chance is gone.

Why families wait — and then it's too late

You've meant to do this for years.

Everyone intends to capture their parent's story. Almost no one does. The camera feels awkward. The right questions don't come. Life gets busy. And then one day the chance is simply gone — and what's left is a handful of photos and the ache of everything you didn't ask.

It's not a failure of love. It's that no one ever made it easy. That's the entire reason Story Keeper exists.

"We didn't know how much we didn't know about Mom — until we finally sat down and asked."
By week three, nearly every family tells us the same thing: they're hearing stories they'd never heard in a lifetime of Sunday dinners. That's what happens when someone who knows how to ask is the one asking.
How it works

You do nothing but be there.

No filming. No editing. No awkward questions. A trained Story Coach handles everything — you just help your loved one show up.

1

We listen first

A 60-minute call with your family to learn who your loved one is and design an interview arc around the life they've lived.

2

We interview them

Six to eight gentle, guided video conversations led by a trained Story Coach. Warm, unhurried, and richer than you'd believe.

3

We craft it

Our editors shape every session into a polished episode. Our designers turn transcripts and old photos into a hardcover book.

4

You keep it forever

A private film series, a printed Life Story Book, a USB keepsake, and a Legacy Highlight Film — delivered to your door.

Everything is produced, printed, and delivered. Nothing for you to assemble, edit, or figure out.

🎬

A private film series

Every interview edited into a beautiful episode, delivered to a private family channel only the people you choose can watch.

📖

A hardcover Life Story Book

Their words and your family's photos, professionally designed into a printed keepsake you can hold — plus a digital edition.

🎞️

A Legacy Highlight Film

A cinematic 15–20 minute short — the one you'll screen at birthdays, anniversaries, and one day, when they're gone.

💾

A USB keepsake archive

Every finished film, every photo, and the raw footage — all in one place, yours to keep and pass down for generations.

What families say

The families who did this before it was too late.

[ Testimonial from your first Story Keeper family goes here — ideally about a moment they'd have lost. ]
?
First name L.
Daughter · captured her mother's story
[ Second testimonial — a different angle: how easy it was, or how the grandkids reacted to seeing it. ]
?
First name R.
Son · captured his father's story
[ Third testimonial — ideally one that mentions watching it after their loved one passed. ]
?
First name M.
Granddaughter · a family heirloom

⚑ Frank — replace all three with real quotes from your first $100-launch and Story Keeper families. Real names + photos convert far better than initials.

If the first interview isn't everything you hoped, you owe nothing.

We know this is precious, and we know it's a real investment. So the first session is our promise to you: if it doesn't feel warm, safe, and worth it, we part as friends and you pay nothing. That's how confident we are that your family will treasure this.

Before you book

The questions families always ask.

It's the most common worry — and it disappears within the first ten minutes. Our Story Coaches are trained to make people forget the camera is there. Most subjects who "hate being filmed" end up not wanting the sessions to end.
Almost none. You help schedule the sessions and make sure your loved one is comfortable. We handle the questions, the filming, the editing, the book design, and the delivery. Your only real job is to be there.
Yes — and please tell us when you book. We can begin interviews within a week when time matters. This is exactly the situation Story Keeper was built for.
Not at all. The interviews happen over a simple video link we set up for you. If your loved one can answer a phone call, they can do this. We walk everyone through it.
That's normal — most families do. Interviews are conducted remotely over video, so your loved one can be filmed comfortably in their own home while you join from anywhere in the world.
Six to eight weeks from first interview to finished delivery. We pace the sessions weekly so memories have time to surface — the best stories rarely come out in a single sitting.
For your family history

The primary source, captured for you.

You’ve done the research — the tree, the records, the years of work. Story Keeper captures the one source you can’t retrieve from any archive: the living testimony behind it all. We interview, film, and transcribe every session, and preserve it to the standards the oral-history field is built on.

The result sits alongside your research as a citable, searchable, first-person source — the voice behind the record, kept with the record.

See our approach to preservation → How we preserve →
  • Preservation master — one high-quality original, kept unchanged
  • Word-for-word transcripts — linked to the footage, never AI-rewritten
  • A documented record — who, when, where, and what was covered
  • Your rights, your access — you decide who can view and share it
The best time was years ago. The next best time is now.

Let's capture their story while we still can.

Book a free, no-pressure 20-minute call. We'll talk about your loved one, answer every question, and help you decide if Story Keeper is right for your family. If it's not, we'll tell you honestly.
