“The process of sorting through 27 years of pictures and mementos was joyfully reflective, but what brought it all together was Dawn’s vision. Her warm and engaging personality and ability to capture my feelings—and transform them into such a beautiful book—well, let’s just say that our Modern Heirloom exceeded every expectation! Presenting this one-of-a-kind gift to our daughter on the eve of her wedding brought tears to all our eyes, fiancé included! Our daughter tells us she leafs through the book often, as it sits prominently next to her wedding album.

I could not be more pleased to have taken the time to reminisce and capture these years and document them for the next generation to enjoy.” 

—Susan, mother of the bride

“I will never forget my wedding day. It was perfect in every way! But I admit that I think about this book even more often—it was like a bear hug from my dad! I can’t wait to share it with my future children some day.”

—Kayla, bride

“This was truly a centering and therapeutic process during an otherwise hectic time.”

—Susan, mother of the bride

“I still tear up when I look at this book, almost a year later. It is my most cherished possession.”

—Maria, bride

“Simply stunning! And Dawn was a true joy to collaborate with.”

—Lily, mother of the bride

“Spending time with Dawn to share stories and go through old family pictures was one of the highlights of the wedding planning process. It gave my wife and me a chance to take a step back and relive our daughter’s childhood, young adulthood, and adulthood. Dawn has a true gift in her ability to gracefully guide the retelling of family memories around pictures, and then craft the results into an absolutely beautiful story book that truly is a family heirloom! Thank you, Dawn, for sharing your gifts with us, and for becoming a part of our family story!”

 —Joe, father of the bride
