Oahu, Hawaii Family Videographer | Holiday Video Card for Alex
How do you make a US Marine cry you ask?
You send him a surprise holiday video card from his beautiful wife and one year old daughter while he is deployed overseas for the holidays.
We filmed the sweetest family a few weeks ago as part of our Holiday Video Card Giveaway. I had never met Ashley and her daughter Maci and her mother in law Michelle before I arrived at their home, but before I left that afternoon, we had laughed and cried and shared our life stories and I felt like we had known one another for years.
Ashley's husband Alex is a United States Marine and is deployed overseas for the holidays. Ashley entered our giveaway and won this video.
Out of all the entires for the giveaway, Ashley's story stood out from the rest. I was once a young mother with a baby girl in a town far away from my family while my husband was deployed overseas, so her story tugged at my heart when I read it. The Bowman's were recently stationed in Hawaii and like most of us military families here, she doesn't have family here so she was planning to be extremely homesick for the holidays, alone with her daughter and without her husband. That was until her mother in law Michelle showed up in Hawaii a few days before Alex deployed with a plane ticket home for her and Maci to go home with her to visit family and friends. It wont replace her husband being gone, but I know it sure will help.
Hopefully this short film made Alex feel a tiny bit closer to his beautiful family.
She shared it with Alex and said he has watched it every day since and that it just might have made this big tough marine cry (which is my ultimate goal in life LOL).

Oahu, Hawaii Videographer | Holiday Video Card GIVEAWAY for ONE SPECIAL MILITARY FAMILY! (A $250 Value)

We love to give back and want to help spread some Christmas love for one special Hawaii family. We are searching for the right family to document this holiday season for. As a military family, we know what is like to be separated from loved ones during the holidays.

Your holiday video card will be filmed in your home. Not sure what a Holiday video card is? . You with your kiddos doing your thing, as well as a message of you and your family talking to your loved one. To give you a better idea, take a look at these two videos :

Why send a holiday card when you can send a HOLIDAY VIDEO this holiday season?
This year we are so excited to announce that for the first time ever we'll be filming Holiday Mini-Session VIDEO CARDS!
I know, I know...it's not even Thanksgiving yet! But trust me, you'll be glad to have this checked off your list before December arrives, and the holiday chaos that comes with it!
What exactly IS a holiday video card, you may ask?
Think of it as your tradition holiday card, only WAY MORE AMAZING. And, you don't have to lick any stamps or go to the post office.
While sending family and friends a traditional holiday card is nice and all, it doesn't really capture the essence of you and you family...how much the kids have grown, their cute little kiddo voices and all the love and squishes shared between you.

We come to your home and capture footage of you for 1 hour. The activity you want to do during that time is your choice. You can bake cookies, jump on the trampoline, sing karaoke, play board games, or just hang out and play while I capture the essence of your family. Within a few moments of me arriving, I promise you won't even notice I am there. After awhile, I am like a fly on the wall and the camera continue to roll as the magical fun of your family unfolds.
