Reflect & Record featured in Austin Monthly magazine
Reflect and Record is highlighted in the April issue of Austin Monthly magazine! A wonderful little article about what we do is sandwiched inside the covers, behind a woman who is about to chomp down on what I assume is one of the 24 best burgers in Austin. It can be surprisingly hard to find [...]

Family Stories: Multimedia Video Memoir
I always try to emphasize how much recording memoirs means to families, and to me. In the case of our newest multimedia project, I don’t think the impact could be over-emphasized.

To make a recording that you’ll treasure forever. But to quote Levar Burton, don’t take my word for it! I asked Rebecca and [...]
