Invest in Your Family's Legacy
Curated Portrait Experiences + Custom Heirloom Artwork for families in Napa Valley and Northern California
The Legacy Experience
This creative collaboration between artist and subject is our signature session. It begins with a phone call to schedule your in-person consultation, where we'll discuss your vision for the images, creative planning, props, location, wardrobe styling, and more. Melissa and her team guide you every step of the way, and help you choose your images and artwork at a private Reveal Session, where you'll see your artwork for the first time!
​​
The Legacy Experience is $495, which includes a $300 credit toward your printed artwork. We offer archival, museum-quality prints, gallery-wrapped canvases, custom framing, heirloom albums, holiday cards, announcement cards, unique gifts, and more.
All products are custom orders with a la carte pricing.

Other Portrait Experiences
The Simply Me portrait experience is our most playful and heartwarming session, designed to capture the pure joy and authentic expressions of kids.
Through a fun and fast-paced process, we’ll create moments of laughter, using silly faces and sounds to encourage natural smiles and unforgettable expressions.
These timeless black-and-white close-up portraits preserve the magic of baby teeth, freckles, and the fleeting moments of childhood.
Originally created as a fundraiser for the Cope Family Center, this experience offers the opportunity to not only capture precious memories but also to give back by donating a session to a child in need through the Cope program.
What Women Hold is an exclusive portrait project inspired by Maira Kalman’s art book, Women Holding Things, exploring the complex relationships between women and the objects they hold, literally and figuratively.
Each intimate portrait will capture a moment of quiet strength and vulnerability, where everyday objects become symbols of personal identity and shared experience.
Limited to only 20 women, the project invites participants to reflect on their unique stories while being part of a larger narrative that celebrates resilience, femininity, and the power of holding on.
This experience offers a rare opportunity to witness the intersection of art, identity, femininity, and the objects that define us.
Our Seasonal Sessions offer a unique opportunity to capture the beauty of specific seasons in some of Northern California’s most picturesque locations.
Winter Mustard Portraits celebrate the vibrant yellow flowers that blanket Napa Valley, offering a stunning backdrop during the peak of winter's quiet beauty.
Sunset Lake Portraits take place at Lake Berryessa during the warm summer months, where the golden glow of sunset creates a magical setting for unforgettable memories.
Summer/Fall Family Portraits are available from August through October, providing a rich tapestry of autumn colors for families to cherish for years to come.
​
Holiday Pop-up Portraits, available in November and December at various events and locations around Napa Valley, are a wonderful way to celebrate that most wonderful time of the year.
