SERVICES | Talking Stories. Your Stories Your Way

Your Story
Your Way

For most people, the last time someone asked them detailed questions about their life was… never.

Every story carries history, values, insight, memory and the things that shape what comes next. When those are spoken and set down, they stop being fleeting and become something others can return to. Families inherit more than names; organisations pass on more than numbers.

Talking Stories makes that possible. We spend half a day or many days in conversation, walking through the milestones and meanings of a life or an organisation. We record voices, capture images, and hold them in a form built to last.

Frequently asked questions

We make it simple and enjoyable for you to share your story. We have a simple five step process that begins after you make a purchase. Here’s how it works:

We Get to Know You: It starts with a friendly conversation over the phone to understand what you want to share and how we can help.
We Come to You: We bring our mobile recording and photography studio to a place that feels comfortable for you—whether that's your home or a location of your choice.
The Conversation: You’ll sit down for a relaxed, guided conversation about your life, experiences, and stories. It’s not an interview—just a chat where you can share what matters most to you. The conversation is usually about 2 - 3 hours long.
Photography Session: We capture thoughtful portraits that reflect your personality and the conversation.
Creating Your Story Package: We professionally edit your audio and photos, crafting a beautiful digital and physical keepsake that you can share with family and friends.

You don’t need any special skills or preparation—just come as you are. We handle everything else.

Your story is yours to share however you like:

Legacy: Pass it down to children, friends, grandchildren, or loved ones as a lasting piece of your legacy.
Digital Sharing: We provide a personalised webpage on our site and a private podcast link for easy sharing with family and friends. You can also upload your story to platforms like family history sites or private sharing networks.
Celebrations or Milestones: Use it as a meaningful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or family gatherings.
Personal Reflection: Revisit your own story when you want to reflect on where you’ve been and the wisdom you’ve gathered.
Community Sharing: If you belong to a club, church, or community group, your story can become part of a shared archive.

Our service helps organisations capture the story and heritage of their communities, teams, and members. Whether you're a business looking to document your company’s journey, a foundation seeking to highlight impactful stories, or a club preserving your collective history, we craft narratives that reflect your values and vision. These stories can enhance your outreach efforts, strengthen brand identity, foster deeper community connections, and become valuable content for marketing or educational purposes. We offer tailored sessions designed to meet your organisation's unique storytelling needs.

Anything that’s meaningful to you! We can explore this in our exploratory call and we will prepare the questions and session accordingly. Some people talk about:

Their childhood and family traditions
Memorable life events, milestones, or challenges they’ve overcome
Their professional legacy
Important lessons they’ve learned
Hobbies, careers, love stories, or passions
Messages for future generations

There’s no right or wrong way to tell your story—it’s whatever feels right to you.

That’s completely fine! We can shape the session to suit your preferences. It can be an interview-style conversation where we gently guide you with thoughtful questions to help you explore your memories and experiences. Alternatively, we can design it as a meaningful conversation with someone important in your life, allowing shared stories and reflections to unfold naturally. There's never any pressure to discuss things you’re not comfortable with—our goal is to make you feel at ease while capturing your story authentically.

Preservation

Preserving life stories for individuals, families, friends, colleagues and other cherished connections, whether you choose to sit for a personal session or share it with someone important.

Bespoke

Offering a choice between a 3-hour Story Session or a comprehensive recording with two 3-hour Narrative Sessions. The Narrative Sessions provide the flexibility to explore different locations or include special guests in the session.

Flexibility

Providing flexibility and customisation with packages starting from $1400 onwards, allowing you to choose options that meet your specific requirements and budget.

Collaboration

Welcoming collaborations with organisations, community groups, and clubs to create remarkable storytelling experiences together.

The Legacy Box

For an additional $60, you have the option to include the Legacy Box along with our service. We find the concept of the Legacy Box quite appealing for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it offers a tangible home for the content from your session, adding a physical dimension to your experience. Secondly, we envision this box as a place where your stories can reside and grow over time. It's a small investment with the potential to become a repository of stories.
