Roots and Wings
Memory is not merely a record of what was. It is a force that shapes what is to come.
Your story, inscribed for generations
Memories hold power. They help us understand who we are, why we choose as we do. They are not just images from the past—they are the wellspring of identity, emotion, and connection. What we remember—and what is deeply etched within us—guides our lives. I believe that organizing memories is more than creating an album. It is an act of courage. A moment when you begin to understand. Then, with tenderness, you accept. And finally, you move forward—consciously. My coffee table books are more than books—they are chronicles that weave exceptional photographs with subtle narratives, crafting a timeless record of your story. I don’t create books to stop time. I create them to remind you that your story matters. For you. For those who came before you. And for those who will come after.
The Great Rizzler to książka wyjątkowa – nie tylko dla mojego syna, ale też dla mnie. To intymny portret dorastania, świadectwo więzi, która zmienia się z czasem, ale nigdy nie słabnie. Przez lata fotografowałam jego życie – nie po to, by zatrzymać czas, ale by pokazać mu, jakim jest człowiekiem. To opowieść o młodym mężczyźnie, który stawia pierwsze dorosłe kroki – widzianych oczami matki. Zebrałam w niej wspomnienia w formie wywiadów z osobami, które go ukształtowały – od najbliższych, przez przyjaciół, po nauczycieli i mentorów. Dodałam też własne refleksje – o tym, co w życiu naprawdę ważne. To prezent na osiemnaste urodziny – ale też kompas, do którego będzie mógł wracać przez całe życie. Ta książka przypomina, że jesteśmy częścią historii – nawet jeśli nie zawsze to czujemy. Korzenie – jeśli tylko je znamy – naprawdę potrafią dać nam skrzydła. A zrozumienie własnej historii to jeden z najpiękniejszych darów, jakie możemy dać dziecku.
And she does it like no one else.
Her photos don’t just decorate our walls – they bring out the most beautiful parts of who we are.
At some point, she raised the bar and suggested creating a book for my daughters – filled with family memories.
When I saw the quality of the album, I knew instantly: it was worth it.
Although the journey was emotional and not always easy, Aneta guided us with calm confidence.
She didn’t let us give up – she knew exactly where we were going.
One of the key moments was a session I still call a miracle.
That day, it was pouring rain and we were all ready to give up.
But in the very last moment, at the end of the day, in my grandparents’ meadow – the sun came out. And we captured the most beautiful photographs we have. Aneta caught everything that was true and precious.
But the greatest gift was something else: She captured the great-grandmother of my daughters. A few weeks later, she passed away... and we had managed to preserve those carefree, shared moments with someone we loved with all our hearts. Time is so fleeting. But in that album – it stood still.
Aneta, I thank you for this with all my heart.
What story do you want to preserve?
I create books as unique as the people who commission them.
About you. About love. About a mother who is leaving. Or a grandmother who wants to leave something for her grandchildren. Each one is a record of what matters most.
We can start with a question.
A meeting.
A dream.
See what kind of book could emerge from your story.

family stories
Heritage
A personalized story of your family—based on interviews, photos, and archives. Each chapter is a story that will endure for generations. It is not just an album. It is the voice of your ancestors.
Our grandmothers and fathers—before they became adults, they too were children. They dreamed. They loved. They feared. When we start to talk, we start to understand them and ourselves. Don’t wait for “someday.” Tomorrow may be too late. Will you and your children hear the stories that form your roots in time?
A BOOK FOR A CHILD ABOUT A CHILD
Back to the Future
Small, grand books that help your child understand who they are. To preserve important words. To see themselves through the eyes of loved ones. To build identity—before they step into the world. A gift from a parent. From a grandmother. From life. A record of memories, dreams, and tender observations.
A book to return to when you forget who you were. And when you need to be reminded that you have been loved from the start. What would you like to leave your child—before the world begins to tell them who they are?
A LOVE STORY
Between Words
A story of a relationship—the perfect gift for an anniversary, a wedding, or a moment when you want to say, “Thank you for being here.” It can include letters, photos, memories, creating a personal record of your story. Love is not just grand gestures, anniversaries, or weddings. It is the daily, conscious choice of sharing.
This book is an invitation to pause and feel gratitude for the journey you’ve traveled. For a partner. For a friend. For the one who knows you better than you know yourself. What do you want to thank the person you love for today?
TRAVEL ALBUMS
Vacation Through the Lens
Some memories deserve more than a place on your phone. A chronicle of family travels—told in the style of National Geographic—is a way to preserve your moments as they truly were: full of naturalness, closeness, and shared wonder at the world. Vacations have something special—people are more themselves, more together, more present.
Travel teaches openness, freedom, and courage. These can be the most beautiful lessons about life — ones that will one day become part of someone’s story.
Values you give to yourself and your loved ones
A Sense of Belonging
Loneliness today doesn't look like an empty room. It looks like a crowd where no one knows your name. Never before have so many felt so deeply alone, though each is part of a larger story. The way we preserve memories shapes our subconscious, influencing who we are and how we build relationships.
Consciously nurturing stories fosters a sense of deep rootedness — in love, tradition, and experiences that form identity. A child, growing up among these recorded memories, discovers where they come from, understands who they are, and carries forward their values.
A Testament of Love
Every page of the book says: “You were loved from the very beginning.” The love we receive becomes our inner voice. When we feel it, we walk through life boldly, confidently, certain of our worth. When it is absent, we learn to seek it — sometimes in places where it can never be found.
A lack of love turns us into beggars for acceptance — in relationships, in choices, in daily life. We seek it in the eyes of others, forgetting that what we need most is the certainty that we were enough from the start.
Trans-generational Values
What seems ordinary today may one day be the only trace of your story. Books are a bridge between generations — a record that outlasts memory. Time takes everything — houses change owners, objects lose meaning, names fade from memory. But the stories we write down can endure beyond us.
A hundred years from now, nothing may remain of us — unless we choose otherwise. Your memories can become part of a family story that someone will one day open and say: “This was their story. Now I’m creating mine.”
A Gift That Cannot Be Bought in Any Store
Time is the only gift that cannot be bought or undone. Personalized chronicles created over years are more than albums — they are proof of presence, care, and love.
This is not a gift to be set aside. It is one to return to in moments of emotion, sadness, longing, or reflection. A place where time does not rush. Where we feel safe. And where everything that matters stays forever.
