What We Offer

We offer a holistically personalized experience with each client to ensure a legacy is captured with care throughout the bookmaking process.

  • Begin with a free consultation to explore how your Embodied Legacies book can look and feel.

  • Select 10–20 meaningful objects to include. Scan and send the images, and mail a piece of fabric, such as clothing or a textile, for the cover. We’ll guide you through each step.

  • Not a writer? No problem. Paula conducts gentle, object-based interviews to help shape the stories that will accompany your images.

  • We design, print, and hand-bind your books, then mail them to you. Gift them to others and take your edition off the shelf whenever you want to feel close to your loved one.

  • "You breathed life and love into my mom's legacy"

  • "I didn't know what to do with all of this small things that were meaningful to me. This feels like a way to keep his memory with me, always."
