You know how quickly life changes. You want to remember what your children sounded like when they laughed together in the next room. You want to remember the way your husband reached for your hand without thinking about it, or the way your home felt when everyone you loved was gathered there.
You want to remember the quiet mornings, the traditions you created without realizing it, the places that became part of your story, and the work you poured yourself into when no one else was watching.

A living - moving
archive of your life
Creating full-length documentary experiences for families, couples, and businesses who want to slow down long enough to truly see the life they are living. Giving space for your story to unfold naturally.
Through intentional filmmaking, your experience is preserved as it genuinely unfolds. Your family is allowed to be your family. Your marriage is allowed to be your marriage. Your work is allowed to e the work you have spent years building. Nothing needs to be polished into something it isn't.
Simply put, you get to be present in your own life.
Rather than asking you to step into a predetermined version of what your life should look like, I take the time to understand what matters to you. I want to know the places that hold meaning, the people who have shaped you, the traditions that belong to your family, the work that matters to you, and the parts of your story that you are most afraid you will forget.
From there, we create something that is entirely your own.
The Experience comes first
You know that your busienss is more than the products or services you provide. It is the people behind the work, the values that guide you, the reason you began, and the life you are creating through it.

Giving you the freedom to simply be together while your life is documented honestly and intentionally Whether we spend our time at home, outside, traveling somewhere meaningful, or doing the things your family already loves to do, the experience is built around who you are rather than who you think you are supposed to be in front of a camera.
family
You know that the day your child enters the world will change you forever. It begins in the anticipation. In wondering who this little person will become. the quiet moments before labor, the hands that hold you through it, the first time you see your baby, and the hours afterward when the world seems to become very small and very still.
Birth
You may not want a wedding day that feels like a performance. You want to remember the places that mean something to you, the people who have walked alongside you, the conversations you had when no one else was listening, and the quiet moments that made the day yours.
Intimate wedding
You want a day that feels like you, and your future spouse. That may mean hiking somewhere beautiful before exchanging your vows, returning to the place where you first met, or exploring somewhere new before beginning your marriage.
Documentary Experiences for the Chapters you never want to forget
For those who value art, storytelling, and legacy.
I believe the legacy you are creating with the people you love is worth slowing down for and what you value the most.
More than ten years ago, I started documenting the everyday life unfolding around me with my own family. I wanted to remember the things I knew I would one day miss; the ordinary mornings, the messy moments, the little rituals, and all the pieces of life that felt too insignificant to photograph at the tine.
I began to understand that these were not insignificant moments. They were the story. That realization eventually became the foundation of Honey Works Film Company.
My heart has always been in telling the stories of others as authentically as possible. What it means to live life to the fullest, being present, intentional, and deeply understood.

documentary experience created around your life
Honey Works Film Company is based in Kansas City and serves families, couples, and businesses locally and worldwide.
This work requires presence, trust, and genuine involvement. I intentionally accept a limited number of commissions each year as this allows me to give each person and each story the depth of care it deserves.
If you have found yourself wishing you could hold onto this season a little longer, if you have begun to understand that the things you most want to remember are not always the things you thought to photograph or film, or if you simply feel that your story deserves to be witnessed with intention, I would love to hear about your life.

I cannot sing Christin’s praises loud enough.
She was amazing.
As excited as I was to have a video to reflect back to, I was also a little nervous about what it would be like to share such an intimate and vulnerable space, but I was put completely at ease.

Christin's presence was so peaceful and natural—it felt like having a trusted friend there who truly understood the sacredness of the moment. Christin has such a gift for storytelling through her lens, and we’re so grateful she was there to preserve memories we’ll treasure forever.
