Preserving family history is essential to honoring our ancestors, understanding our relationship to our own lives, and sharing the wisdom and experiences of the past with future generations. I work with families and individuals to create one-of-a-kind family heirloom art including; illustrated family history books, family trees, photo montages, family crests, and custom paintings. These timeless pieces are perfect for family reunions, weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries. They are also a way to celebrate those that have passed away and keep the spirit of their

stories alive. Family Heirloom Art services for illustrated family history books include a free initial consultation, interviews, transcription, writing, text editing, research, photo editing, photo retouching, custom illustrations, layout & design, and book production management.  Lisa Kagan Designs also offers consulting services for clients already working on their own family history projects who are looking for assistance with the development and presentation of their projects.
