The studio story

I've always been an artist. My favorite early memories are coloring for hours with my mom and picking out crafts with my grandma at Michael's on the weekends. What started as a hobby became something I loved sharing. Whether I'm making gifts for friends and family, painting live wedding illustrations, or teaching macramé, sharing art with others always feels like a gift in itself.

One day, while playing with my friend's baby, I saw her face light up as she recognized herself and her loved ones in family photos. That moment sparked the idea to create a personalized children's book. What began as a simple story grew into months of hand-painted watercolor illustrations to bring it to life.

Our Family Story is really YOUR family's story. It is meant as a keepsake that celebrates your roots, honors those who came before, and helps a child build confidence, carrying forward generations of love and strength.

What we make

Each book uses real family names, places, and photos. Personalized books help children see themselves in a story, which is a proven way to grow a love of reading. The product is a physical hardcover, not a subscription app and not a generic stock book with a name stamped on the cover. Price is $38. Recommended ages are 0-8.
