Legacy portraits
Timeless Portraits of a Life Well Lived
Planning ahead gives your loved ones the gift of peace.
Whether for future services, printed keepsakes, or simply to capture a meaningful moment, our portrait sessions are thoughtfully crafted to honor your life and legacy.
Too often, families scramble to find a recent, flattering photo for memorials—only to realize the only option is a grainy snapshot from a wedding or vacation, cropped and never quite right. These moments deserve better.
At Mike Higdon’s Storytelling Studio, we create portraits that go beyond a simple headshot. These are images that reflect your personality, passions, and relationships—the things that truly matter.
Whether it’s a quiet image of you at home, seated with your favorite book, a portrait at the piano doing what you love, or a moment outdoors with your partner, framed by a place that brings you peace… your session can be as personal and unique as your story.
We also offer more traditional studio portraits, as well as warm, joyful family photos that bring everyone together.
Every session is approached with care, comfort, and intention. You’ll receive timeless images that your family can use in services, memorials, keepsakes, and heirloom albums—images that honor a full life and bring peace to those who love you.

How it works
STEP 1: Book a portrait photography session
Click “Book Photography” to start the process. Next, Mike Higdon will contact you by phone, text, or email to discuss what you’re looking for, from a professional portrait to a creative scenario. Then, you’ll receive a contract to sign and your pre-portrait guide to prepare.
STEP 2: Strike a pose
Before you get ready for your close-up, we’ll work behind the scenes to take care of every detail from location to make-up to styling. All you’ll have to do is meet us at the studio or on location and bring your best poses.
Take a gander at the digital selects Mike Higdon will send you within a week of your photography session. You’ll be able to pick your favorites for Mike to touch up with a natural, minimalist style to preserve your natural glow. Then, you can download the final photos from an online gallery and share them on your website, social media profiles and more.

“Taking legacy photos can be emotional and Mike’s professional expertise, knowledge, and manner made the entire experience so positive. He let me be me. I picked the surroundings and items that were important to me and never felt uncomfortable or like I was being asked to pose. I was able to be myself and he knew how to maximize any attributes. He absolutely mastered this unique niche and I felt so comfortable throughout the session. The outcome were photos that are me, and that’s exactly what I wanted.”
