I've been creating videos, both professionally and for my family, for nearly 10 years. 

I can’t begin to express how meaningful these little films are to my family, and I know they will only increase in value to me as my kids grow and change.

Because we obviously will never be able to “print” video footage or compile videos in a family album, we are left with hours and hours of footage of precious memories stored on our phones/computers/hard drives and no idea what to do with it all.

Making your own beautiful family films solves this problem completely! Yes, it takes a little bit of work but I’m here to help you totally hack the process, create films with so much meaning and heart you’ll barely be able to stand it, as well as teach you some of my best tips and tricks for recording your family’s memories with increased intention, beauty, and creativity.

In this online course, you will learn:

• Everything you need to know to make beautiful, soulful films with simply the video footage you have already stored on your phone!

• My best techniques for capturing video footage with intentionality and creativity

• My entire editing workflow from start to finish (with a step-by-step video tutorial of the whole process!)

FAQ:

Can I use this course if I have an Android phone and/or PC computer?

Yes! While I do demonstrate on iMovie in the editing tutorial video, there are many comparable FREE editing software options that are super simple available for PC/Windows users. Keep in mind, all the same basic principles for shooting, creativity, music tracks, and editing apply regardless of what camera/editing software you use.

What if I don’t have a computer?

No problem! You can absolutely edit your video entirely on your phone using the iMovie app.

Are all of your videos filmed with your phone, a DSLR, or both?

All my family videos are filmed 100% with my phone.

I’m not tech savvy at all. Is this for beginners?

One of the comments I receive from people, again and again, is how incredibly EASY and DOABLE this is. I’m one of the least tech savvy people out there. If I can do it, ANYONE can. You don’t need to have any prior knowledge or experience at all with video or editing!

My husband is a professional video editor. He helped me create the editing tutorial video and gives so many tips and tricks for making the process completely efficient, super simple, and FUN! I’ve even had seasoned videographers tell me that they’ve learned a surprising amount of shortcuts and tips.

How do I purchase the course as a gift for someone else?

The easiest way is to simply purchase the course as if you're buying it for yourself. When you get the email with the download link, don't download the course. That link will expire in 24 hours. Then, when you're ready to gift it, just give the person your confirmation email with the order number. They can then email me directly and I can send them the course! 

What if I want to buy more than one?

To purchase more than one copies of the course, you do need to do separate transactions so you’ll receive separate download links.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

"I just have to tell you that I started your vid course and am OBSESSED. I stayed up way too late doing my first movie and this might be lame but it is giving me new life in my mothering.

Thank you so so million times much." -Brooke Schultz @brookebschultz

The reality of filming what is meaningful to you and then seeing it all compiled just makes you feel like your life is right where it needs to be.” -Ali Middleton @alimiddleton

"I feel like every blogger or online influencer should take this course. With more and more brands looking for video, this is such a no-brainer place to spend $50 so you can set yourself apart.

Brands want videos that showcase their products in a meaningful way and Sam shows you EXACTLY how to bring that heart to your videos. It's worth every penny and then some." -Janssen Bradshaw @everydayreading
