What to Do With Your Family Videos: Creative Ways to Display and Enjoy Them | Oregon Lifestyle Family Videographer
As much as I love the convenience of digital storage, there’s something special about being able to hold a memory. Printed photos have photo albums, frames, and scrapbooks — but what about our family videos? They live inside our phones and hard drives, waiting for us to find the time to play them.
Here are two creative ways to make your family videos feel more tangible.
1. Add a QR Code to Your Album, Card, or Ornament
Create a QR code that links directly to your video, print it on sticker paper, and add it to your photo album — a simple and fun way to add video to physical materials ! If you already upload your family videos to Google Drive, Vimeo, or another cloud service, you can easily create a QR code for free using tools like Canva.

Print the QR code on sticker paper and place it in a photo album next to still images from the same day, on a holiday card, on a keepsake ornament, or even inside a love letter to your kids. When someone scans it, they can instantly relive the moment through its sound, movement, and emotion.
It’s a beautiful way to connect printed and digital memories — a keepsake that brings your story to life with just a quick scan.
2. Create a Video Album
If you want something even more special, look into “video albums” or “motion books.” They look like traditional photo books, but when you open them, a screen automatically plays your video.
You can store your family film, your child’s birthday video, or a year-in-review highlight reel — something you can keep on the coffee table or gift to grandparents. It’s like holding your story in your hands.
I hope you enjoyed reading “What to Do With Your Family Videos: Creative Ways to Display and Enjoy Them.” As an Oregon lifestyle family videographer, my goal is to help families find meaningful ways to preserve and relive their memories for years to come.
If you don’t have your own family film yet, I’d love to create one for you. Let’s capture your family’s story so you’ll always have something beautiful to hold onto — both on screen and off.
