Your life. A story worth telling.
Every person carries a unique life story that deserves to be remembered – for yourself and your loved ones.
Invest in the most valuable gift you can leave behind: Your own personal story, summarized in a beautifully bound book.
Tell us your story. We put it to print.
The shared realisation that every life holds countless stories worth preserving gave birth to the idea for our business. As founders of Life Portraits, we saw a deep need for individuals to capture their life journey, both so that they could reflect on it themselves, but also so that family and friends could gain knowledge about what shaped them.
Stories are what make us who we are, and by sharing them, we gain perspective and build greater understanding between generations.
At the heart of our mission is a simple belief: there is no better way of building human connection than through an engaging story.
The story of a lifetime. Your own.
Perhaps you are one of many who have long considered writing down your life stories – either on your own initiative or with someone else’s encouragement – but despite this, it has not happened; or perhaps you have started writing but have given up.
A project of this size can feel overwhelming and difficult to complete on your own. How much should I share? How many pages should it be and what do I really have to tell?
At Life Portraits, we love helping people tell their life stories. It doesn’t have to result in a thick book with a certain number of pages – you decide what you want to tell and how much. What we can offer are simple solutions that help you row the project to completion: You tell the story; we write, edit and put it all in print!
From experience, we know that there is something powerful in being able to tell your story, from your perspective, in your own way. And for those who read – to get a more nuanced picture, understanding and insight.
Memories for life
Leave the finest possible imprint behind you – your own story.
