from memories to heirlooms

Identities are formed in story. Childhood moments make up the touchpoints that become the narrative of our lives.

It's important to record this narrative and create a tangible place for it to be cherished and revisited over time.

philosophy

Heirloom General Store is an analog photography service. Founded by Sarah Sloboda on the philosophy that special moments in time deserve to be objects you can hold in your hands, all proofs are delivered in a keepsake print box, and additional print packages can be ordered from your favorites. Sarah's photographic approach was tailored specifically based on the latest research on brain development informed by her training with Norland College. She uses a technique called Emotion Coaching to ensure everyone, especially a young child, feels comfortable during their photo shoot.

“easy to work with”

We enjoyed working with Sarah so much we engaged her to spend a half day with us taking a whole portfolio of family photos around the Golden Gate Bridge area. Sarah was incredibly easy to work with. We were blown away by the results, and got framed prints for our home and my office, and a large print on metal, which has drawn rave reviews.
