Where legacy moves forward.

We all love analog media. It’s even making a comeback — the grainy essence of VHS tapes, the vintage charm of photo booths, the soft blur of a fading Polaroid. But as much as we love it, nothing lasts forever. And that’s where Branch & Leaf comes in.

We digitize and restore your old home movies and faded family photographs — memories that deserve to be saved, not forgotten.

This mission was born from a deeply personal loss. After my mom passed, I became the unexpected keeper of a treasure trove of VHS tapes — tapes I thought had been destroyed in a flood years before. Along with them were shoeboxes packed with unorganized but unforgettable moments. Frame by frame, tape by tape, I relived my childhood, processed my grief, and rediscovered joy through the memories of the people I love.

That’s what this work is about.

We’re not a big-box company — we’re a small studio with a big heart. And our goal is simple: to help you preserve the precious moments that made you who you are. To protect your roots, honor your branches, and celebrate the people who shaped your story—for the future leaves on your family tree.

If you have memories you’re ready to revisit or preserve, I’d love to help.

Warmly,
Danielle Bernstein
Founder, Branch & Leaf Studio
