A family film is an everyday moment now but over time will become a family treasure.
This giveaway includes:
Includes 2-3 hour time to film the family. You will work with Jamie together to find the best time to film. The film will be edited to create a 2-3 minute family film set to music carefully selected by Jamie. This is for immediate families only. Not used for large group gatherings or events. A $450 value.
