I remember being in highschool when this happened. The librarian rolled in a tv and we all watched in horror. Some kids were picked up by their parents and some remained at school. Time stood still.
I do remember how the whole nation felt after this happened- United. American flags were everywhere and the communities came together as one in support of each other.
Today we continue to honor those who lost their lives and the first responders who came to the rescue. 🇺🇸
What are your memories from 9/11?

Listen to the insight your elders have. There’s always something to learn.

Get out there and just do it. Often times we don’t know what we’re capable of until we give it our best shot.
When I sat down with Howard he had some of THE best advice and wisdom regarding life’s challenges and what can be made of them 🤍

Have you had moments in life when you feel like you’re not on the right path? Like you somehow missed something or have even felt like you’ve failed at what you thought you had set out to do? 😩
I know I have 🖐🏼. It usually isn’t until later down the road- sometimes YEARS down the road, when you reflect upon a life choice and realize YOU WERE EXACTLY WHERE YOU NEEDED TO BE.
When I interview someone for their documentary, there’s a LOT of reflection that happens. It’s such a beautiful moment to watch someone reflect upon the journey life has taken them on so far. 🤍
I’ve learned that through those hard times there seems to be clarity to follow. Sometimes life throws hard times at us, but somehow we are always where we are meant to be ❤️

Every single life story and client of mine is special, but this one was over the top for me!
This working farm has been in their family for over 100 years. It has seen the blood, sweat and tears of survival from the late 1800’s to today 🥺 It has served as a tobacco farm, potato farm (I can’t wait to show you the ‘tater house’), strawberry farm, cattle farm, hay farm, and honestly anything the land could grow to provide for this family.
🎥 These documentaries aren’t just an amazing way to capture your loved one’s stories, but they’re an incredible way to honor your ancestors and save your family history.
The future generations deserve to know their family’s roots ❤️

One time my dad told us the next animal he was getting was going to be an alligator 🐊 so he didn’t have to take care of the animals we would leave at their house anymore 😂🐾
(he has yet to buy an alligator) 😅

Question: What is the bravest thing you’ve ever done!?
I LOVED capturing this story and then seeing the actual footage from her skydiving adventure- which was found on an old VHS! 📼
