Every family has stories that deserve to be remembered. Yet the moments we think we will always recall begin to fade. Voices change. Details slip away. Memories live only in our heads unless we take the time to preserve them.
Oral history recordings preserve the sound, emotion, and nuance of a person’s story. These are not scripted interviews. They are guided conversations that allow lived experience to unfold naturally.
No two oral histories are the same. Each interview is shaped by the individual and the moments that mattered most to them. Together, we create a record that reflects who they are and how they want to be remembered.
• Parents or grandparents wanting to leave a message for future generations
• Families preparing for milestones, birthday celebrations, or retirements
• Loved ones facing health challenges who want to preserve their voice
• Estate planning clients adding legacy elements to their documents
• Families who want a simple and elegant alternative to video
Some of the most meaningful parts of your family history were never written down. They live in the way a story is told, the pauses between memories, the laughter, and the emotion that comes through when someone speaks about their life. Oral history interviews preserve not just facts, but the humanity behind them, allowing future generations to hear the voices that shaped their family.
Many people carry extraordinary stories but would never sit down to write them. Oral history interviews create space for those memories to surface naturally through conversation. With a little guidance and thoughtful questions, stories unfold in a way that feel authentic and personal.
From childhood memories and family traditions to career paths, relationships, and defining moments, oral histories capture the experiences that shaped a life. These reflections often reveal insights and stories that have never been shared before.
Oral history interviews are available to families throughout McKinney, Dallas, the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond. Each experience is handled with discretion, care, and deep respect for the stories entrusted to me.
Preserving a loved one’s voice is a gift that only becomes more meaningful with time. If you’re ready to capture the stories that matter most, I invite you to begin the oral history interview experience.
