A Project of the Heart

Every dog deserves to be remembered beautifully.

The Legacy Project exists for families with senior and terminally ill dogs. It is offered privately, with no sales pressure of any kind. No one should be left without a portrait of the dog they love.

Some portraits aren’t about art. They’re about being able to look again.

How It Works

Gentle, and entirely on your terms.

Four quiet steps, and you can stop at any of them.

01

Reach Out

Tell me about your dog. There is no cost to ask and no pressure of any kind.

02

Plan Gently

We arrange a session built around your dog’s comfort. Often at home, never hurried.

03

The Portrait

A short, peaceful session. Your dog sets the pace, and we stop the moment they’ve had enough.

04

A Lasting Image

You receive artwork that lets you keep looking into the eyes of the dog you love.

Comfort First

Built around your dog, not a schedule.

Legacy sessions are short and calm, almost always at home, where footing is familiar and your dog is most at ease. Nothing is forced. If your dog needs to rest, we rest. If today isn’t the day, we wait.

The studio also works alongside veterinary and hospice partners across Middle Tennessee. If your vet referred you, please mention them.

Legacy sessions are booked at a reduced session fee. The pricing page states that fee plainly, along with what finished artwork costs.

If your dog is simply getting older, a senior session is paced for a grey muzzle and stiff mornings. If the diagnosis is terminal, an end-of-life session can move a great deal faster.

Questions

What families often ask.

The questions that come up most, answered plainly.

Families with a senior dog, or a dog facing a terminal or life-limiting diagnosis, who want a beautiful portrait while there is still time.

Reaching out costs nothing. The Legacy Project is offered with care, and we will talk honestly and privately about what makes sense for your family.

When time is short, very quickly. Please tell me your situation and we will move at the pace your family needs.
Reach Out

If your time with your dog is short, please don’t wait.

Tell me a little about your dog. I read these personally, and I’ll respond with care.

Share as much or as little as you wish. This goes only to Jeff.
