Guided sessions to capture life stories

We mean to sit down and ask. We mean to record the conversation, write those things down, make sure the stories aren’t lost. But life moves fast. And sometimes, those moments don’t happen.

A Life Story Captured is a simple, beautiful way to make sure they do.

A guided session with Georgia is warm, unhurried and gently structured - where the stories that matter are gently drawn out, recorded and kept. Not a formal interview. Not a documentary. Just a real conversation, with someone who knows how to listen and how to ask the right question at the right moment.

The result is something you keep forever: a voice, a story, a life — captured in someone’s own words.

Who is it for?

Vintage family memories incorporated into a personalised

Families with an older parent or grandparent

There are stories in your family that exist nowhere else. A life story session is a chance to finally sit down and hear them properly - and keep them. Many families arrange a session as a gift for a birthday or a milestone celebration, or simply because the time feels right.

Someone facing illness

For people who want to leave something behind for the people they love. A record of who they are, what they value, what they’d want remembered. A voice that stays, even after they’ve gone.

Families preparing for a funeral

A life story session can be woven into the funeral preparation process - a way of deeply understanding the person being honoured before crafting their farewell. Georgia offers this as an integrated service for families she’s already working with.

Anyone who wants to reflect and remember

You don’t need a particular reason. Some people feel the pull to sit down and make sense of their own story - to reflect on the life they’ve lived and the things they’d want to pass on. A life story session can be a gift to yourself as much as to anyone else.

How it works

What’s involved?

A brief initial conversation to understand what you’re hoping to capture and who the session is for.

I prepare a gentle structure - thoughtful questions and themes tailored to the person and their story.

The session itself - a warm, unhurried conversation of around 60–90 minutes. In person or via video.

I process the recording and deliver your chosen format.

You receive these stories to keep: a voice, a story, a life - in your loved one’s own words.


Format options

  • Audio recording - a voice to keep and return to

  • Video recording - a face, a voice, a presence

  • Transcription - a written record of the conversation

  • Written narrative - shaped and edited into a readable story

The format is always guided by what feels right for you and your family
