Preserve Your Family’s Legacy With a Luxury Experience That Documents Your Life Story

Your story is priceless. Your memories deserve more than storage. They deserve to live on, in film, portraiture, and heirlooms that last for generations.

You've built a meaningful life rich with stories and meaning.

But when have you documented that story?

When is it the “right time?" 

Legacy isn’t something you leave behind later. The "right time" is now.

Every Legacy Begins With a Choice to Preserve It

Because someday may become too late.

Many families intend to document their stories.
Very few actually do it before time steals the chance.

Life moves fast. Moments that feel ordinary today become the ones we miss the most.

You deserve a way to preserve your family’s story.

Meet Zoe

I've watched families lose voices, memories, and stories that were never captured. After losing my sister, Kristina, I learned how fragile time really is. That is why I pivoted my business to honor yours. I step into your family with compassion and care, guiding you through a luxury storytelling process that honors your history and preserves it for future generations. This is not simply photography or filming. This is legacy.

  3. Preserve: We deliver a refined legacy film and install custom portraits that your family can return to again and again.

Your Story Deserves to Be Remembered

Give your family the gift of presence, memory, and legacy.

The purpose of my business was born from my profound loss. My sister, Kristina, left letters unwritten that were meant for her only child.  When I realized that she was incapable of writing them just days before she took her last breath, I captured her final messages through a cell phone recording. Those moments changed me forever.  Now I honor her legacy by documenting life stories for others.  

I started The Heira Experience™ so no family has to wonder whether they waited too long. Every session I create is in honor of her, and a portion of all Legacy Sessions support The Bridge Breast Network to help other families fighting breast cancer.
