Legacy Photo Stories
“Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can't remember who we are or why we're here.”
-- Sue Monk Kidd, author
Explore the transformational power of story.
Do you feel like there’s an aching story in your heart that you want to hold onto, to pass down, to always remember?
Think of me as your personal photojournalist who works with you to tell this story.
Using a mix of old photographs, objects, conversation, and intentional photography, we co-create a visual narrative that captures the soul of the story you want to share. The result is a printed heirloom photobook.
This is a truly special offer that came from a personal project. I deeply believe in the transformational power of a story.
An example of a story can be:
- “Still With Me” – A daughter honors her late father’s legacy through his tools, notes, and the stories he told.
- “The Women Who Made Me” – Three generations of women tell their stories of motherhood, migration, and strength.
- “Homegrown” – A retired farmer reflects on her life’s work through her land, family, and hands.
- “We Named You After Her” - New parents create the photobook for their newborn daughter sharing stories about grandma who passed too early, but whose remarkable love and faith is deeply woven into their hearts.
-”The House on Clinton Street” - A woman revisits the home where she grew up before it’s sold. A story of memory embedded in place.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.”
-Maya Angelou
