Old-school, but in a good way.
The Heirloom Difference
You can share a photo in seconds, store thousands in the cloud, or scroll through them endlessly on your phone. But speaking honestly, how many of those images will you actually remember? How many will survive a faulty hard SD, lost password, or accidental deletion?
Printed memories are different. They have weight, character. They bring people together around a table and spark conversations. Heirlooms are built for you and for future generations.

Behind the Scenes — Crafting your Keepsake
-
Image Curation & Selection
Your heirloom foundation is centered around your images.
First, I personally curate and edit a range of images I believe are both technically strong and full of story. Shots I know will stand the test of time no matter what trends might come and go.
After sending physical copies of those images to your door, you review them from the comfort of home, selecting your favorites and ones you aren’t fond of. Then you’ll send your final picks to me, along with a completed questionnaire that has you dive deeper into the story from your images, supplementing the narrative behind your photos.
-
Album Layout & Inside Details
Once you’ve selected your images, I get to work.
By carefully crafting the layout myself, I ensure a narrative flow that honors each moment. All inscriptions — handwritten notes, quotes, or stationery — are converted into digital files, preserving both personality and voice.
All personal narrative in each album is typed in the personal handwriting of the author — be it you or loved ones —using modern software, creating a personal touch that can’t be replicated by print-on-demand services.

Finishing Touches & Materials
The first time you experience your heirloom is meant to be a memory you cherish — to experience the record of your story with fresh eyes.
Decisions like cover materials, album size, title engraving, and other details can be overwhelming. To guide your choices, I walk you through the different materials and customizations we offer, answering any questions you might have.
Whether that be hanging above your fireplace or living out its days on your living room coffee table, each heirloom is custom built to suit your purposes.
Quality you can trust, I partner with a family-run, US-owned printing company with over 50 years of experience crafting albums for professional photographers. Their expert craftsmanship and top-of-the-line materials — from fine leathers and inks to archival-quality paper — guarantee a timeless heirloom built to last.
