Because Someday,
These Moments Will Mean Everything
The most meaningful stories live in familiar voices, shared memories, and the small details we don’t realize we’ll miss.In a world that moves fast and forgets even faster, I help families slow down and preserve what matters most, before time carries it away. To listen. To preserve the voices, memories, and small details that rarely make it into albums but mean everything later. Dad’s boisterous laugh. The way Grandma tells a story. The wisdom tucked inside everyday moments like family recipes and the stories behind the photographs. I’m Cindy, a Legacy Preservation Specialist, storyteller and memory-keeper who believes family memories deserve to be preserved with care. With a background in emotionally resonant writing, hospice training, and decades of experience working across generations, I create a calm, thoughtful space where stories can be shared naturally and preserved gently.Through family legacy films, capturing family gatherings, photo preservation, and meaningful printed keepsakes, each project is shaped around your family, your pace, and what feels right to you. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is staged. Every story is approached with care, patience, and deep respect for the families who trust me with their memories.These aren’t trendy keepsakes for today alone.

A few reviews…
“Cindy at Via Muse Videos is absolutely wonderful to work with. She immediately put me at ease and made the whole process of capturing my mom’s story feel effortless and enjoyable. Cindy has such a thoughtful, genuine approach — she listens closely, asks great questions, and truly understands how to bring out the heart behind every memory. The final video exceeded all expectations. It was beautifully edited, heartfelt, and something we’ll treasure for years to come. Cindy has a rare gift for storytelling — she turns ordinary moments into something truly meaningful. I can’t recommend Via Muse Videos enough to anyone who wants to preserve their memories in an authentic and lasting way” - Shannon

Preserving Your Family’s Best Moments on Film:
Whether it’s a Family Legacy Video of an elder telling their life story to become a part of family history, an Anniversary Film capturing the love and laughter with their one-of-a-kind love story or a Senior Film preserving that magical, hope-filled milestone with all they are loving now. Perhaps you are having an epic year and you don’t want it to be lost on your phone - A Year In Our Life incorporates the year’s photos along with a personal interview from your family’s perspective.
There is no better way to preserve a family’s legacy than in a video - Capturing the life stories and wisdom of family elders through an informal interview, incorporating photos and memorabilia. Record the stories while they are still here - it is essential to a family’s history.
A beautiful way to commemorate this special moment in time is with a Senior Film. It is a film and interview of just your Senior. Recording their life in this moment in their home…the memories they cherish, the dreams for the future - all in their own voice. (And a way to incorporate those photos and videos you took over the last 18 years!)
Do you take countless pictures and videos on your phone? Those add up over a year. So what do you do with them? Send them to me each month and you’ll have a beautiful keepsake yearly highlights video by the end of the year with a filmed family interview included! Perfect for NYE!
