FAMILIES WE HAVE WORKED WITH
In Their Own Words
Kamakshi asked interview questions meticulously to collect all the details regarding my background and experiences. She was able to then bring a wealth of information and details into the bio. She is also a pleasant and down to earth person to work with.

It was a very pleasant and amazing experience working with Kamakshi in writing my story. She was able to jog my memory with her questions and I could tell she was truly interested in what I had to say. She really knows what she is doing.

I always felt the need to put down my family’s history for our future generations. My kids and nieces and nephews asked questions about their grandparents, and there was no properly compiled facts.
When Kamakshi called me to record my family history I was apprehensive. But I was so comfortable talking to her and the interview was a smooth flow. She wrote down the family history of my parents beautifully and with accuracy. I am sure my future generations will be glad to know of their roots. A commendable idea Kamakshi!

I wanted to write my memoir for my children to have but I didn’t know how to start such a project. I contacted Kamakshi and in our conversation, I knew she was the best way to proceed.
As we began the process, she was very helpful, providing me with perceptive questions for our interviews that added more depth and interest to the memoir. I’m very pleased with Kamakshi’s guidance on this project.

My son’s birth story was a complicated journey that came with its challenges, but ultimately had a happy ending.
Having it so beautifully captured by Kamakshi is something I will treasure forever. She asked all the right questions, helping me tell my story in a way that felt meaningful and true to my experience.
It is a unique and special keepsake that will help preserve these memories over time and ensure that my son can understand his beginnings.
