Living Legacy Portraiture
Living Legacy is one expression of the studio’s broader practice of long-form listening, portraiture, and care.
A limited number of personal commissions are available each year for individuals and families seeking careful documentation of a life, legacy, or threshold.
This is not standard portrait work. It unfolds over time—often through multiple conversations and sessions—and is designed for those at significant life transitions: retirement, milestone birthdays, serious illness, or approaching life's final chapter.
The work is relational, unhurried, and co-created. It serves those who understand that their story—and how it's told—matters deeply.
“Your legacy is every life you’ve touched.”
- Maya Angelou
This work is typically commissioned by:
-
Families documenting elders
Individuals at significant thresholds
Those navigating serious illness with intention
Adult children honoring parents’ legacies
Organizations honoring leaders’ enduring impact.

“My heart and peace are expanding from reading your account of me. I am without a lot of words other than I am so grateful for your love, care and creative vision as expressed here. I feel deeply honored and seen. Never has there been a more meaningful account..”
