our commitment to every client is to create portraits that touch the heart, add art work to your home, and for these to become cherished memories for years to come.

As award winning portrait photographers, we at Legacy are members of the Professional Photographers of Mississippi Alabama and the Gulf Coast Professional Photographers Association. This signals that you may have confidence that your photographer is one that is continually refining his skills.

In the old days the only way to acquire a fine art portrait was to pose for an artist. That's no longer true. Now there's photography, and in an instant what you look like can be recorded on film, but that's not art. What's needed for photography to become art requires more than the snap of the photographers camera. Time and thought are a necessity to make your portraits special, something you'll be proud to hang over the mantle, show to your friends and pass on for other generations to enjoy. At Legacy we take that time. We never rush a session knowing that you came to us because you wanted art and not just photography.

Whatever the nature of the session we're involved with at the time, we want and enjoy the resulting art. The work and planning that's involved are what's necessary to accomplish "Art" in photography.

Are you a family, do you have children, is this your "Senior Year" in school, are you getting married? Do you want something unique, something more than just pictures? We can accomplish that at Legacy. Rodney and Jackie Shewmake, the owners of Legacy Photographics, are committed to the art of photography. We enjoy creating "Fine Art Portraits" for our clients.

We specialize in portraiture of children, families, high school seniors, executives, and recording special events.
