Sample case studies

Three sellable angles.

Grandparent StorySitting

A family preserves a grandfather’s childhood, work stories, recipes, faith memories, and advice for grandchildren through portraits and twelve edited story cards.

Homeplace StorySitting

A family documents the farm before a transition: barn doors, kitchen table, tools, porch, old photos, and stories tied to the land.

Story Capsule

A smaller entry session captures one person, one theme, and a focused set of story cards for a gift or milestone.

Sample Story Card

The Kitchen Table

Every Sunday after church, the table got pulled away from the wall and the extra chairs came out. Nobody called it a tradition then. It was just where everyone ended up.

Photo pairing: wide table portrait, hands pouring coffee, recipe card, worn chair.

Sample Story Card

The Barn Door

He said the barn door never did close right after the storm. But everyone knew the sound it made when the day started.

Photo pairing: barn door detail, hand on handle, wide exterior, tools nearby.
