As a family videographer, I’ve learned that it’s not just the smiles or the sunlight that make memories come alive—it’s the laughter echoing through the trees, the shuffle of little feet on gravel paths, the wind catching a child’s giggle mid-spin. Sound and movement are the heartbeat of a memory. They turn a simple moment into a living story—one you can feel again and again.

Fun fact: The Arnold Arboretum in Boston, one of my favorite session spots, is home to over 15,000 plants—and was the first public arboretum in North America, founded in 1872!
