How We Preserve Your Legacy

The adults include a man in a yellow shirt, an older woman with glasses and light hair, another woman with glasses and a floral dress, and a young girl. The children are a boy with blond hair wearing a striped shirt and shorts, and a girl with blond hair in a white dress.

Step 1: Explore the experience before you decide

During this meeting:
• We walk you through the full process
• We answer every question
• We offer expert guidance to help you envision your Legacy Recording

When you’re ready to move forward:
• We gather background details to personalize your interview
• We confirm your preferred location and scheduling
• We collect your initial payment to reserve your recording dates

From that moment on, we guide you through every step—from preparing for the interview through the final delivery of your story.

Step 2: A thoughtfully guided journey through a lifetime

We come to you—your home or the location you choose—and set up professional, non-intrusive recording equipment so everything feels comfortable and relaxed.

Your interview is fully guided.
We use prompts tailored from your pre-interview consultation and your preferences in the moment, creating a natural, meaningful conversation at your pace.

Recording is paced around the storyteller, with sessions typically lasting four to five hours at a time. When more time is needed to tell the full story, we continue on an additional recording day.

Topics are shaped by what matters most to you.
Common areas include:
• Genealogy and family history
• Childhood and education
• Careers and military service
• Relationships and hobbies
• Volunteer work and travels
• Defining moments and personal reflections

Every session is unique—designed to capture your story with clarity, comfort, and care.
