Family Conferences
Capture the Magic for Years to Come with Powerful Videos
Bring your events to life with thoughtful strategy and powerful on-site storytelling through professional photo + video.
We elevate your family conferences, galas, research symposiums, and community events with on-site photo and video that capture powerful stories in real time through thoughtful interviews, exciting b-roll, spontaneous hallway interviews, and magical moments. The result is an event that not only honors families and researchers, but also deepens donor relationships and fuels your mission long after the last session ends.
Capture the Powerful Connection
We know that your family conference is a once a year (or every two years) opportunity to bring your virtual community together. Our team ensures that we capture the right content to tell strategic stories to last until the next family conference.
Rare Impact produces powerful and heartfelt, cinematic photo and video coverage that goes far beyond documentation. We capture the true heart of your event, the people, emotion, and connection that define your rare disease community, and transform those moments into powerful storytelling assets that fuel fundraising and awareness long after the event ends.
We focus on the human moments that matter most: families connecting, scientists sharing breakthroughs, clinicians meeting patients, and children experiencing joy. Through thoughtful planning and immersive on-site coverage, we create a deep library of visual content designed to support your donor communications and marketing for years to come.
Packages can include
- Candid photography and B-roll of authentic moments and connections
- Panel discussions and keynote sessions, including speaker and audience reactions
- Thoughtful family interviews capturing lived experience and hope
- Clinician and researcher interviews with clear, impactful soundbites
- Staff interviews to reinforce mission and brand messaging
- Sponsor visuals, signage, and environmental shots to honor partners
- A mix of candid, programmed, and posed portraits for social media, campaigns, and archives
The result is a rich, versatile collection of photos and videos that reflect your community’s impact and sustain your storytelling well beyond the event itself.

FAQs
We support family conferences, rare disease fairs, walk-a-thons, galas, awareness days, research convenings, and other mission-driven events. Our services are tailored to the unique needs of rare disease communities.
Our team captures cinematic photo and video content focused on human connection, including families, researchers, clinicians, sponsors, and staff. This content is designed to support fundraising, stewardship, and communications long after the event ends. In our Discovery Call, we will discuss key days that you want to capture and we will create a custom package for you.
We recommend starting event support three to six months in advance, especially if sponsorships or video storytelling are involved. However, we can often step in closer to the event if needed.
Client Testimonials
What makes Rare Impact different is that they truly understand our community. Trusting Shannon and her team with our families was easy because I never had to wonder whether they would 'get it.' They understand that NUCDF's role is to bring the latest research directly to families while bringing the lived experiences of patients and families back to researchers. That understanding comes through in every story they tell, creating authentic content that strengthens our fundraising and helps others understand how our community is shaping the future of UCD care.
From the moment Shannon and Derrick entered our conference, they began building trust with our community. They captured both our major messages in interviews and the small special moments that make our community unique. I love the highlight reel and the sizzle reel that they delivered within days of the conference, and I can't wait for the final videos to share our mission. I highly recommend them to capture video at your family conference!
