Individual & Personal Legacy Experiences

For individuals who want their voice, values, and story preserved

They are often chosen by individuals who want to pass down wisdom, reflections, or personal messages without the pressure of being on camera.

Your Journey Step by Step

1. Private Consultation
Your experience begins with a confidential consultation to understand your family, your values, and what you want preserved. This allows us to design a legacy plan that reflects who you are and what you want future generations to remember.

 

2. In-Home Wardrobe and Design Guidance
We guide you through wardrobe selections and aesthetic decisions that align with your home, your style, and your heirlooms. This ensures your portraits and films feel timeless and intentional, never staged or trendy.

 

3. Professional Hair and Makeup
On the day of your session, professional hair and makeup services are provided so you feel confident, comfortable, and fully present. This is about honoring you as you are, at your best.

 

4. Legacy Creation Day
Whether filming, photographing, or recording oral histories, the day unfolds calmly and purposefully. We do not rush moments. We create space for stories, connection, and authenticity.

 

5. Design, Art, and Installation
Your heirlooms are thoughtfully designed, printed, framed, and installed in your home. These are not files left on a hard drive. They are tangible reminders of love, placed where they can be seen and felt every day.

 

6. Secure Digital Preservation
All digital assets are delivered privately and securely, ensuring your films, portraits, and recordings are protected for the future and easily accessible for your family.
