At the turn of the 20th century, it was a big deal to have your portrait taken, no matter who you were. For my ancestors and other marginalized groups, this was an even bigger deal because having your portrait taken and displayed in your home symbolized dignity, pride and progress of people who were once regarded as less than. It symbolized visibility in a society that at deliberate times regarded marginalized groups invisible. Well, it’s a new day. And it’s time to see yourself in a new way.

Portraits are more than just images or digital files on a computer. They are history, memory, transformation, moments, celebration and a journey recorded for generations to come.
