Family Photo Gifts on Natural Stone
A family photo keepsake printed by hand onto natural slate — for the grandparents, the reunion, and every year the family managed to get everybody into one frame.
There is a photograph in almost every family that everybody argues about who gets to keep. It is usually the whole crew together — at a reunion, on a porch, at a holiday when everyone actually made it — and it is almost always sitting on somebody's phone. A family photo keepsake takes that photograph and gives it a permanent home in the house.
We print yours into real natural slate, by hand, one piece at a time, in Coshocton, Ohio, and ship it anywhere in the United States. The matte stone surface shows the whole image clearly with no glare, and the raw chiseled edge means no two pieces are ever the same — which suits a family that does not have a duplicate anywhere either.
And if you are giving one rather than keeping it, there is a way around the usual snag: you will not have the photograph the recipient would choose. A keepsake gift certificate lets you pick the size and pay, and they receive a card with a gift code telling them the piece is already paid for and they choose the photo whenever they are ready.
When people order these
Who these are made for
Family keepsakes are especially meaningful for grandparents, for a reunion, for a milestone birthday, and for the family photograph that everybody wants a copy of.
A gift for grandparents with a family photo
Grandparents already have enough mugs. What they never have enough of is the family. A piece with all the grandkids, or the whole family, sitting on their shelf where every visitor can see it — that is the gift that lands every time.
For the family reunion
The reunion photograph is the reason everybody travels. A family reunion photo keepsake gathers everyone onto one piece of stone so the year is not lost to a group chat the moment everyone drives home.
For the whole family in one frame
Four generations, if you can get them. The last photograph with everybody together is usually the one nobody realized they needed until later.
For a milestone birthday or anniversary
A round-number birthday, a golden anniversary, a retirement — pieces like these mark the day without being another object nobody knows what to do with.
For a new home
A family portrait printed on stone makes a housewarming gift that is already about the people moving in, rather than about the house.
For the family who lost someone
When the family gathers for a funeral, the photograph everyone keeps passing around is often the last good one of all of them together. Putting it on stone keeps the whole group in the room.
Sunset together
Mom, dad, daughter, and son gathered close as the sun drops behind the mountains — a whole family at one golden moment, kept forever on stone. This is the photograph that lives by the front door and gets touched every day.
Real finished pieces
What yours will look like
Every one of these is a real slate we made, photographed on its own display stand. The stone is split from nature, so no two edges are ever the same.
What you get
A photograph the family can hold, printed into stone
Every family piece is one full-color photograph printed permanently into a piece of natural slate. Here is what you actually receive.
- Real natural slate, split from stone — the chiseled edge is left exactly as it broke, so no two are alike
- Your family photograph printed into the stone in full color, with no glass, no glare, and nothing to frame
- A family name, a year, or a short line added beneath the photograph, if you would like it
- Several photographs combined into one design, for a piece that spans generations
- A display stand included, ready to set on a mantel, a shelf, or an entry table
- Sizes from 3 × 5 at $15 up to 8 × 10 at $55 — an 8 × 10 holds a large family comfortably
- The 5 × 7 at $40 is the size most people choose, and it fits on any shelf in the house

See it on stone.
Add your photo and see how it sits on the piece, before you order. Try each size and the piece changes shape with it — then nudge the crop and zoom until it frames the way you want.
This is just for seeing how a size looks. Nothing you add here is sent to us. Your real photo goes on your order at the upload step, and Wiley still shows you a proof before anything is printed.

This is the preview only — it does not attach a photo to your order.
Try a size
The piece changes shape with the size, the same way a real one does — and the heart is a heart shape, not a rectangle.
Move the photo
Zoom
Preview only — your photo stays on your device. This tool just shows how a size looks. Nothing you add here is uploaded, saved, or sent anywhere, and it never reaches your order — the photo that goes with your piece is the one you attach at the upload step.
This is a preview, not the final proof. It shows how a centred crop will sit on the piece, but it cannot perfectly show how an image takes to real stone. Nothing is printed until you send your photo with your order and approve the design — and nothing you add here is part of your order.
How it works
Three steps, and nothing is printed until you approve it
Send us your photo
Text or email the picture you want on the stone — the original file from your camera roll if you can find it. The photo you already have is almost always good enough. Send it anyway, even if it is old, faded, or needs work.
We prepare the design — you approve it first
We lay out the photograph, any names, and the year, then show it to you. Nothing is made until you say it is right, and you can cancel for a full refund before that point.
Handcrafted in 3 to 5 business days, then shipped
Once you approve it, the piece is printed by hand onto the stone in Coshocton, Ohio, finished, and boxed with its stand. Most orders are done in 3 to 5 business days.
Send the photo you have. Even a snapshot off an old phone is fine — I’ll check its quality before printing and tell you if anything needs a look, and nothing is printed until you are happy.

Questions we get
Can you print a big family photograph on one piece?
Yes, and larger groups work better than people expect. An 8 × 10 holds a big family comfortably, and if there is a lot of detail we will tell you honestly which size will look best before you order.
Can you combine photos from different years?
Yes. Bringing photographs together on one piece — the grandparents in one, the grandkids in another — is something people ask for often, especially for reunion pieces and memorials.
Can I add the family name or a year?
Yes. A family name, an “established” year, or a short line beneath the photograph is a small detail that makes the piece unmistakably yours. Tell us what you would like and we will show you the design first.
Is this a good gift for grandparents?
It is one of our most-given pieces. Grandparents tend to have every photograph of the grandkids somewhere, and almost none of them out where they can be seen. This puts the family on the shelf.
How long does it take?
Most orders are handcrafted within 3 to 5 business days after you approve the design, then shipped. Standard delivery takes about 5 to 7 business days after that, and expedited shipping is $25 flat with delivery in about 2 to 3 business days after it ships.
Can you ship it directly to the recipient?
Yes. At checkout, choose “Ship it as a gift” — the address you enter becomes the recipient’s, and a short message of yours is written by hand on a note card that ships with the piece, so it arrives ready to give.
The whole family, in one piece of stone
Send us the photograph everybody argues over and we will give it a permanent home. Sizes $15 to $55, handcrafted in Coshocton, Ohio, and shipped to your door.

Planning for a date?
Order early and your keepsake has the room it needs. For Christmas, aim to order by November 15 — December 5 is the last day to order for delivery. Mother’s Day by April 30, graduations by May 1, Father’s Day by June 10, and weddings at least three weeks ahead.
