Preserve is a philanthropic portrait series. For every session booked, a family in need will receive the same experience. As you know, family photos are a luxury in itself so we are incredibly honored to offer this opportunity to help celebrate loved ones.

After all, every family’s story deserves to be preserved.

What we do –

Preserve has become another way for the community to show love to our resettled neighbors. Local families purchase a 15 minute portrait session for themselves and simultaneously enable us to provide the same meaningful documentation to a second family in need. For each round of Preserve we partner with an organization (so far: Tiyya Foundation and Families Belong Together), to coordinate with families and individuals that would be interested in receiving this gift.

Why it matters –

It is our desire to gift each family with an empowering, personal portrait that can mark this place in time, the journey they embarked upon, the obstacles they faced and the commitment they have to one another. An image that they can look back on for years to come, a visual to accompany the story that is handed down from generation to generation. It is our way to say we see you, we welcome you and we’re glad that you’re here. Family photos are a luxury but we believe that every family’s story deserves to be preserved. 

The next session in Denver, CO –

Preserve is coming to Denver, CO on October 26 and will be hosted by REALM, a beautiful new and highly coveted open space studio.

We’ve partnered with Casa de Paz, which will help us connect to local immigrant families.

Each 15 minute family session is $360, which includes not just 1 session – but 2! 1 for you, and 1 for another family.

Terms and deliverables –

Each 15 minute session allows for up to 6 family members. The fee ($360) includes an online image gallery and 15 edited, hi-res digital files with printing/publishing permissions. Please allow up to 10 business days to receive your initial gallery via email. You will also have the option to buy the entire gallery too for an additional $100.

Your session fee also covers the costs for a second family to receive the same portrait experience. It's a 2-for-1 in the best way possible!
