Our founder's journey

My Family Story began with something simple and deeply personal.

When our founder sat down to film his grandmother, it wasn’t part of a business plan. It was just a moment, an opportunity to capture her voice, her memories, and the stories that shaped their family. What he didn’t expect was the impact it would have.

That video quickly became something more than a recording. It became a treasured piece of their family’s history. It was something meaningful, emotional, and lasting. It sparked conversations, brought generations closer together, and created a sense of connection that felt too important to keep to just one family.

That’s when the idea took shape: what if other families could experience this too?

Today, My Family Story exists to help families preserve what matters most: the voices, the stories, and the legacy that can’t be replaced. What started as a personal moment has grown into a purpose, making it possible for others to capture and keep their own family stories for generations to come.
