Grandparents and parents can pass on the things they have – their financial and physical assets – in their will. However, who they are – including their values and what they believe contributes to a meaningful life – are not always documented for the next generation.

Beachwood Image Work’s legacy videos have resonated with families who see them as a way to create a portrait that captures the complete person and that ties one generation to the next.

Beachwood Image Works legacy videos explore who the person is and the journey they took to where they are today. We ask questions that result in personal, meaningful, and insightful responses. Beachwood Image Works legacy videos often include aspects of a person’s past or stories from decades earlier that members of the immediate family often learn for the first time when they watch the video.

The Beachwood Image Works interviews are fun and stress free. Those profiled have said they enjoyed being interviewed and appreciated the opportunity to look back on their lives. One grandfather said after the watching the completed video that he didn’t realize he had done so much throughout his life.
