s’gpor

Song. Portrait. Motion.

A finished song, sung in your own voice — paired with portrait cover art. You commission the work. You own what we make.

What we make

One studio session gives us everything: your voice, your face, and the beginning of your story.

01

Voice models

A private model of your voice, built from one session. Used only for your commissioned work, kept on our own systems, never shared, and deleted whenever you ask.

02

Music

Fully produced covers and originals in your own voice, around three and a half minutes, delivered release-ready under your own name.

03

Portraits

Studio-grade photography from your session — finished, retouched, and if you wish, printed and presented in a keepsake box.

A gift like no other

A parent’s or grandparent’s voice, in a finished song, for a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday — or your own first release, under your own name.

The work

One session, start to finish. Every portrait on this page came out of a single sitting in this studio.

How it works

01The session

One relaxed studio visit. We record your voice and, if you’ve chosen portrait work, capture the shoot in the same sitting.

02The craft

We build your private voice model and prepare the production. You approve the song choice and direction before anything is made.

03The story

We produce the song — and, where commissioned, the portraits — shaping sound, image, and emotion together.

04The piece

You review, we refine, and you receive the finished work — release-ready, and yours.

Begin here

The first engagement is priced to be accessible. Once your voice model is on file, every song after it is a fraction of the effort — and the price.

First songStart here
$395

Your private voice model, built from one studio session of about an hour and a half, plus one fully produced song.

Portrait session
$195

A thirty-minute session for an individual, with five finished photographs delivered digitally. Prints and keepsake boxes from $195.

Keepsake edition
from$695

Everything, in one box: the session, your voice model, one produced song, five finished portraits, a printed lyric sheet, and your song on a flash drive.

Additional song
$125

Once your model is on file, an entirely new song — new lyrics, new arrangement — is one message away. No new session. Typically ready within a week.

A 50% deposit reserves your session; the balance is due on delivery. Cancel more than seven days before your session and the deposit is returned in full. Inside seven days the deposit is retained, and your session can be moved once to a new date at no charge. Prices current as of August 2026 and confirmed at booking.Ask for the full price guide

You own what you commission

Delivered songs are yours outright on payment in full — we take no royalties, no splits, no rights in your music.

Consent, always

Voice work begins only after the person whose voice is modeled signs a consent and release. Their voice, their say.

Your privacy

Recordings and voice models live on our own secured systems — never uploaded to third-party training services, never used for anyone else.

Honest expectations

We make music, not income promises. What you release and what it earns are entirely yours.

Tell us about the piece

Who the song is for, the occasion, and when you’d like it. We reply within one business day.

Before you arrive

The studio records video and audio throughout your session — it is how the work is made. Recordings and footage are kept on our own secured systems for one year after delivery, then deleted, and are never used for anyone else’s work.

You are welcome to bring someone with you; many people do. If you would rather not be filmed beyond the recording itself, say so when you book and the session will be arranged around it.
