Cherished
Whether they’re camera-shy or love the spotlight, our proven process makes filming relaxed, easy, and fun.
It started with a camera, a question—and the realization that time doesn’t wait.
Family Crest Studios was founded by Kevin Pickard and Trent Ross, both drawn to preserve the voices and stories of loved ones before they faded. From personal loss and life-changing moments, they came together to ensure others wouldn’t lose the chance to capture their own stories.
Today, Family Crest is rooted in a shared mission: to create timeless, honest, human storytelling that brings families closer and memories back to life.
What to Expect: Our Process
1. Content Exploration
We begin with a thoughtful conversation with family and friends to uncover themes and questions. These help your loved one reflect naturally—with no need to rehearse.
2. Location Visit
We visit the filming site—usually your loved one’s home—to plan camera angles, lighting, and ensure comfort.
3. Filming Day
Using professional cameras, lighting, and sound, we create a relaxed and respectful space. We guide your loved one with simple interview tips, and gently scan photos or mementos as needed.
4. Post Production
We handle everything from here—editing, crafting, polishing. The result is a meaningful film you and your family will treasure forever.
Our Signature Heirloom Videobox
Our Videobox is a one-of-a-kind keepsake: a beautiful, book-like display with a high-quality screen that plays your loved one’s story at the push of a button—no Wi-Fi, no tech experience needed.
Everything was done professionally, efficiently and most importantly with love. You ALL are amazing and we are blessed knowing you.”
