Family Legacy Portraits
A family portrait is more than a photograph; it is a historical document. It is a single, masterfully created heirloom that captures the unique dynamic of your family at a specific moment in time, preserving your story for generations to come.
Documenting Every Chapter
of Your Story
A family’s story is written over a lifetime. A Family Legacy Portrait is not a one-time event, but an opportunity to create a definitive masterpiece at each significant chapter—from a young family with small children, to honoring multiple generations, to celebrating the enduring bond with adult children.

A Collaborative & Respectful Process
Commissioning a Family Legacy Portrait is a significant undertaking, and our process is designed to ensure it is a comfortable, inspiring, and deeply rewarding journey from start to finish. We operate on a philosophy of invitation, not just consent. Our role is to create an environment of such profound trust that you feel safe to invite the camera to see your true self.
1. The Conversation
Every commission begins not with a camera, but with a conversation. We take the time to understand your vision, your story, and your goals for the portrait. This is a collaborative dialogue to ensure we are perfectly aligned before any creative work begins.
2. The Vision & Preparation
We guide you through every step of the preparation, from wardrobe and styling to the overall mood and tone of the piece. This meticulous planning is leveraged exponentially in the final result, ensuring the portrait is a true masterpiece. There are no surprises, only a shared commitment to excellence.
3. The Sitting
The portrait sitting takes place in a private, controlled, and calm environment. Using classic lighting techniques and a deliberate, unhurried approach, we create the space for your authentic character to emerge.
4. The Unveiling & Selection
This is where the vision becomes reality. We review the portraits from your session not on a small computer screen, but projected any size, up to life-size scale on a gallery wall. You will see exactly how your masterpiece will look and feel in a real-world setting, and we can overlay different museum-quality frames to find the perfect match. You are in complete control, and only an image you absolutely love is chosen to be masterfully crafted into your final heirloom.
An Heirloom Investment
Commissioning a Family Legacy Portrait is not a purchase; it is a permanent investment in your story. Unlike disposable luxury goods, a masterpiece portrait is an appreciating asset that pays emotional dividends for generations.
Each commission is a unique, collaborative undertaking. The final investment is determined by the specific vision for the piece, including factors such as scale, complexity, number of subjects, and the final framing choice. All commissions are quoted on a bespoke basis after our initial complimentary consultation.
