Creating family films for Charlotte videographer, Brandy NicCole is a nostalgic way to capture moving portraits for families. In a fast-paced world where moments blur into days and years, family films stand as eternal keepsakes, capturing your unique story.
My youngest son is 22 and I understand the magic of family bonds and the power of filmmaking to capture the fleeting moments that define our lives. A quick short about myself, I realized during my son’s childhood I wasn’t present in enough of the videos or photos and I have made it priority to not allow that to happen to mother’s who visit my studio.
I want to show moms just how beautiful she is to her children.I want to remind your children of just how much you cherished them through the everyday details.
An Ode to Nostalgia
In the whirlwind of caring for a newborn and them growing up, it’s easy to forget the small, precious moments that weave together the tapestry of that first year. Family films serve as windows to the past, allowing you to relive joy, innocence, and love through the lens of nostalgia. Whether it’s a child’s first steps, a spontaneous giggle, or a tender embrace, these timeless treasures evoke emotions that transcend time.
The Art of Storytelling Through Video and Stills
Each family has its own unique narrative waiting to be told. Storytelling takes new life through cinematic masterpieces that not only capture fleeting moments but also weave them into a cohesive narrative that celebrates your family’s journey. Through curated shots, soundtracks, and editing techniques, family films breathe life into images, creating an experience that tugs at heartstrings and sparks memories. I want to offer you that window back into your newborns first year.
Celebrating Authenticity
In a digital age dominated by filters and staged photoshoots, family films offer a refreshing dose of authenticity. By documenting candid moments, unscripted conversations, and genuine interactions, professional filmmakers bring out the real essence of your family dynamic. Let’s not be worried about the hair, the clothes or the kitchen. Let’s be real, let’s be everyday and authentic. These films are not just visual mementos but living testimonies to the laughter, tears, and growth that define your family unit.
Why Trust a Professional Videographer?
We all can capture snippets of family life on our smartphones, but there is something special about mom relaxing and entrusting the storytelling to someone she and her family trust and feel secure with. NicCole brings expertise, creativity, and a keen eye for detail to every shoot, ensuring that each frame tells a compelling story. From choosing the perfect lighting to capturing spontaneous moments, craftsmanship transforms ordinary scenes into extraordinary narratives that you’ll cherish.
Where would we shoot a family film?
Gathering footage for a family film can be here in the studio as an add on to your portrait session or in another location. We can shoot a family film here outdoors at the studio. Personally, I think your family home has so much to offer in terms of telling your story!
What can we do to prepare for a family film?
I will send you over a questionnaire to get us thinking about what we will document but….Start by jotting down some of the things your children love to do. For example: Reading books, jumping on beds, exploring outside, wrestling with dad, playing with pets. Next, think about activities you do together: eating, snuggling, nursing, cleaning, laundry, preparing food, tickling dad. These are all great memories to collect.
In a world where time slips through our fingers like grains of sand, family films stand as timeless monuments to love, togetherness, and the beauty of fleeting moments. At NicCole Photography, we believe that your family’s story deserves to be told with reverence, care, and artistry. Let us embark on this journey together, capturing the magic of your everyday life through the lens of family films.
If our eyes are the window to our soul, video is the window to our past ~B
