The Generations Portrait Project

Capturing Your Legacy

This project began in early 2020. It was the start of a new decade, and many of us were keenly aware of how quickly time passes by. I noticed the vast difference between modern culture and the relevant ideas during my formative years. With kids in high school at the time, the difference in perspective between generations was very apparent. With rebellion all around me, I wanted to capture the loving connection that’s possible, and even crucial, between people of different generations.

After a break for the pandemic, we brought the project back to honor and cherish that family connection we were forced to go without for so long! It’s never too soon, or too late, to create portraits that speak to your legacy. Who knows what the future holds?

We invite you to take part in this project and document the legacy of your family. Celebrate the connection you have with those who will carry your love and light into the future. The people and relationships in your life are a beautiful masterpiece, waiting to be captured and enjoyed on your walls.

“To have nice professional photos that are worthy of the wall means the world to me. 

I had a photo session with my son and we loved the experience. Lara and her husband are an amazing team. They are warm and welcoming, funny, professional and knowledgeable. Knowing that my son loves to dance, Lara had a dance off with him that was one to remember! Lara is the best!”

The Purpose

Our Generations Portrait Project aims to connect and unite people, despite their obvious differences. We want to provide a positive experience that brings families closer together, and create shining examples of the importance of family. This project is meant to honor the beauty of diverse relationships through portraits.

Why Black and White?

Black and white brings out the sentiment in a portrait. By eliminating color, your story lives within the boundaries of its emotional essence. The limited range of gray, black and white enhances the importance of beautiful expressions, posing, and lighting, allowing your fashion and style choices take a back seat to the relationships you cherish the most. Black and white is timeless. It transforms an ordinary moment into a striking piece of art.
