Why we do this
Behind the lens
Preservation of Time
As a family brand, we pride ourselves on authenticity, transparency, and intimacy. Fundamental principles for a loving family. At the heart of Ambient Essence is our own family showcasing our beliefs. We believe every moment is precious and intimacy is essential to your relational and spiritual growth. We are all on earth for a finite amount of time and have a God-given purpose and assignment. Therefore, we must make the most of every moment because life is short.
The start
2019
Like many, 2019 was a very traumatic year leading up to the pandemic. That year we lost a mother/mother-in-law to a rare form of endometrial cancer. She would always take pictures of us, other family, and friends because she believed in cherishing moments and memories. She is the life force, the excitement, and the spark behind everything that is Ambient Essence.
NEw. Beginnings.
2020
In Scripture, we find wisdom that cautions us not to despise humble beginnings. Our journey began with nothing more than a Google Pixel 4XL and an ignited spark of creativity. Little did we know, this unassuming start would lead us on an extraordinary adventure to uncharted territories.
Yet, amidst our aspirations and dreams, the true purpose of our gifts eluded us. We hadn't grasped the significance of casting a heartfelt vision over this newfound treasure. But with every step forward, we learned, we grew, and we opened our hearts to the profound impact our passion could have on our lives and the lives of others.
Vision becomes
2021
This video represents the culmination of a transformative journey that commenced in 2019. It's not just a video; it's a symbol of our deep love for family and making memories last. Before our little bundle of joy arrived, we made a promise to hold onto every precious moment. You see, it's not just about us; it's about honoring the legacy our beloved mom/mother-in-law left behind. She always dreamed of meeting her first grandchild, and though she couldn't be here, her spirit lives on through our videos.
THE rain is gone
2022
With newfound clarity, our gifts took on a deeper meaning and purpose. We realized we weren't alone in facing life's challenges; countless others shared similar stories, enduring trauma and loss, especially in the wake of Covid. It dawned on us that this journey wasn't just about our family; it was about lending a helping hand to others.
So, we decided to dedicate ourselves to capturing moments for others, allowing them to cherish memories and savor life's journey. Our mission became crystal clear: we didn't want anyone else to experience the heartache of losing a loved one without cherishing every moment and creating lasting memories. With love and empathy, we're here to share the joy and preserve those precious times for all who need it most.
The future
2023 and beyond...
In 2019, our hearts were shattered as we faced an unimaginable loss, and in 2020, the world experienced profound heartache due to the pandemic. We wish we could shield everyone from such deep sorrow, but life's cycles continue, and we find ourselves embracing the journey ahead.
Through our lens, we now see beyond our own limitations, eager to touch the lives of individuals, couples, and families. Our mission goes beyond mere photography and videography; it's about fostering gratitude and presence, celebrating self-love, intimacy, and growth in every captured moment.
We yearn to share countless stories of love and growth, to inspire and cherish life's fleeting yet precious moments. It's our hope that no one else feels the heart-wrenching pain of losing a loved one without enough tangible memories to hold onto. Memories of laughter, joy, and love are vital to keep alive, even as life moves forward.
In our continuous pursuit of improvement, we are excited to journey alongside your family and others, creating beautiful memories that transcend time. Stay connected with us; we have exciting plans on the horizon!
Together, let's cherish life's fleeting moments and celebrate the beauty of love and growth in all its forms. May our lens capture not only the milestones but also the simple, heartfelt connections that make life truly meaningful.
With love and hope,
Greg and Sydnye Rogers
