learn About Vera Owens & The Legacy Studio

Hi, I’m Vera Owens—mama to two little girls, lifelong memory keeper, and founder of The Legacy Studio, where we help families preserve family memories and build lasting legacies.

How The Legacy Studio Helps You Preserve Family Memories

What started as me just trying to make sense of the thousands of photos on my phone (and in shoeboxes… and on old CDs… you get the idea) slowly turned into something bigger—a calling to help others protect what matters most.

How My Passion for Memory Keeping Became a Mission

Once I started digging into one set of photos, it led to another… and then another. I couldn’t stop. Each memory felt like a piece of something bigger, and I realized this wasn’t just a project—it was a passion.

And then something unexpected happened. As I sorted through our family’s history, my daughters started asking questions—about the faces in the photos, the ones here and the ones we’ve lost. Even at their young age, I could see seeds being planted: compassion, connection, curiosity. Foundations were being built—not just for preserving memories, but for caring about people. Their stories. Their existence.

Why Family Stories Matter More Than Ever

That’s when it really hit me: stories matter. Photos aren’t just pictures—they’re evidence of life, of love, of legacy. They hold the stories of who we are, where we come from, and what’s worth passing on.

The Fragility of Physical & Digital Memories

But the more I worked, the more I realized something else: between the fragile boxes of physical photos and the digital chaos scattered across phones, hard drives, and cloud accounts… our memories are more vulnerable than we think. What if a flood or fire took out the originals? What if a tech glitch or hack wiped out the only digital copies? It felt tragic to even imagine.

How The Legacy Studio Protects Your Family’s Legacy

That’s when The Legacy Studio was born—not just out of passion, but out of purpose. To help families like mine (and maybe yours) take back control of their memories before they disappear.

In a world that’s always speeding up and scrolling past, I want to help you pause. To protect your family’s story and preserve family memories. To build a legacy that lasts.
