“I grew up listening to my grandpa’s stories,
the kind that made us laugh and remember
what really matters.
After he was gone, I kept thinking about how I wished I had filmed those moments...
his voice, his laugh, and the way he told our
family history like it was magic.
That’s when I realized how important it is to capture loved ones while they’re here.
Not perfectly, but authentically.”

A few of the beautiful stories families have trusted me to capture
PAUL'S STORY
ROBBIE'S STORY
TERRY'S STORY
Capturing Their Story Is Easier
Than You'd Think.
Here's how it works
Step 1: Connect
We’ll start with a relaxed chat either on the phone, over email, or whatever’s easiest.
You can tell me all about your loved one, what makes them special, and what stories you never want to forget.
No pressure, no fancy forms...just an honest conversation about the person you love most.
Step 2: Film
This is the fun part.
I come to you with my cameras, lighting, and audio equipment. Usually filmed in their home, their favorite chair, maybe even the kitchen table where all the best stories seem to come out.
We just talk, laugh, and let the memories roll. I’ll guide the conversation, but the best moments always happen naturally.
Step 3: Share
Once the film is edited, you’ll get their finished product — and this is where it all hits.
You’ll see the smiles, the pauses, and the stories you didn’t even know they’d share.
It’s the kind of thing your whole family will watch over and over again… probably with a few tears and a lot of laughter.
The life documentarian and filmmaker
behind Positive Emissions
Hi, I'm Brittany,
and this is why I do what I do.
Before I ever picked up a camera, I spent years as a radiation therapist... sitting with patients, hearing their stories, and realizing how powerful it is when someone truly listens.
After losing my grandpa, I found myself wishing I could hear his voice again, not from an old home video, but in a real conversation, the way he told his stories.
That’s when I knew I wanted to help families hold onto that for their own loved ones.
Today, I create life documentaries that capture the laughter, the details, and the voices that make a family who they are. My favorite moments always happen between the questions in the stories that spill out naturally when people feel seen and heard. This work is deeply personal to me.
It’s all about celebrating the people we love while they’re here,
and making sure their stories are never forgotten.
I started filming because I didn’t want another voice, another laugh,
another story to fade away.
Because someday, you’ll be glad you did.
I’d love to hear about your loved one and the story you want to tell.
Whether you’re just curious or ready to begin, we can talk through what this process looks like and what would mean the most to your family.
-Brittany
