Collection 02 Family & Life Stories

A life, captured for generations.

Family histories and milestone books, made to be inherited.

Some stories are too important to leave on a hard drive.

Family histories, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, childhood memories and generations of photographs can become beautifully crafted family heirlooms.

We can even help bring old photographs back into your story through scanning and careful curation.

In detail

Starting from a box of photographs

Very few family histories arrive as a tidy folder. They arrive as shoeboxes, albums with failing adhesive, envelopes of negatives and a few dozen phone pictures.

We scan and then do the hardest part: deciding what the book is actually about, and what can be left out.

The result is a narrative, not an archive. That distinction is what makes a book readable rather than shelved.
