Sound Portraits
& Gifts

So much is held in the sound of a voice—rhythm, humor, warmth, and presence—the small details that make someone unmistakably themselves.

Whether we’re gathering many voices into a Sound Gift or capturing a Sound Portrait of one person’s story and personality, audio is a powerful, lasting medium.

“Sarah, that is goosebump- and weepy-tears-inducing. Wow.
What a gem of a gift to cherish forever.” 
—Kathy P.

Sound Gifts

Meaningful audio keepsakes made from the voices of friends, family, community, and those who know the recipient best.

From a deeply felt chorus of appreciation to a compilation of love notes, memories, and wishes set to music, Sound Gifts offer a warm, immersive listening experience—something that can be shared at gatherings or revisited privately for years to come.

Good for:
birthdays • anniversaries • graduations • rites of passage • retirements • appreciation • life’s big chapters • “just because”

Starting at $300
After a quick intake conversation, I’ll send a clear estimate based on how many people you’d like to include and the level of editing involved—from a simple montage to a more orchestrated, layered piece.

Sound Portraits

A personal storytelling keepsake centered on one person—capturing the moments, memories, and perspectives that make their life uniquely theirs.

Through a relaxed, guided recording, reflections are gathered in a way that feels natural and comfortable. The story is then shaped through attentive, layered editing—keeping the speaker’s voice and presence at the center throughout.

Good for:
capturing your own story • honoring someone you love • marking a big chapter • sharing memories, values, and perspective • holding onto the sound of a voice

Starting at $500

Each project is custom created and begins with a conversation. Get in touch.

In good hands

I’ve been capturing sound and shaping stories since I first picked up a microcassette recorder at 13. Since then, I’ve co-created and hosted nine audio festivals—and I love the intimacy and care each audio project invites.
