Legacy Portraits

Legacy Portraits

 I'm raising awareness about the importance of photographing the foundation of families:  our elders.

 Your parents, grand-parents, great-grand parents and more deserve a beautiful portrait of them looking their very best…and you can stop putting it off, because I'm here for you NOW.  

 I have first hand experience in photographing elders with Dementia & Alzheimer's, terminal illnesses and plain stubborn elders who don't want to be photographed.  I got you!

 I can personalize an experience for you as simple or as complex as you want.  Hair & Makeup is optional for all shoots.
