Children’s Heirloom Portraits
Heirloom Portraits are timeless, elegant images for ages 3 months to 6 years, featuring access to a curated wardrobe, hand-edited portraits, and fine art keepsakes you’ll treasure forever.
They will never be smaller than they are today.
There’s a brief window when your child is still little — yet becoming fully themselves. Full of wonder, sweetness, and spirit.
There’s a reason families are falling in love with Heirloom Portraits — those timeless, storybook-style images of little ones in classic outfits, framed in gold and glowing with warmth. Inspired by vintage Southern portraiture, these sessions feature soft backdrops, sweet expressions, and hand-embroidered clothing.
Heirloom Portraits aren’t just pictures. They’re fine art keepsakes that grow more meaningful as the years pass — long after toys and clothes are outgrown.

Why Now Is the Time
They’re changing every day — and one day, you’ll look back and wonder how it all went so fast. Heirloom Portraits hold on to the little things: the soft cheeks, the bright eyes, the way they smiled just for you.
You don’t get this time back. But you can keep a piece of it forever. Book your session now — before this moment becomes a sweet memory.
I only accept 6 Heirloom Sessions per month to maintain the highest level of craftsmanship. Once those spots are filled, booking reopens the following month. Make sure you’re on my calendar!
FAQs
-
My Heirloom Portrait sessions are designed for children ages 3 months to 6 years — that sweet, fleeting stage when they’re still little but bursting with personality.
If your child is younger or older, don’t worry — reach out! Every child is unique, and Heirloom Portraits can work beautifully beyond the suggested age range.
-
Each session lasts 20–30 minutes and is relaxed, gentle, and child-led. I focus on capturing your child’s unique spirit in a calm, studio environment. Not every shot is perfect. That’s okay and expected!
-
Heirloom Portraits are designed to be calm and effective — typically 20–30 minutes.
Little ones (especially babies) have short attention spans and can get fussy quickly. The goal isn’t to capture a large number of images — it’s to create a small collection of intentional, beautiful portraits that truly reflect your child.
Short sessions help us keep things relaxed, focused, and enjoyable for everyone.
-
I photograph in my home studio in the heart of Lebanon, Tennessee, keeping the location convenient and comfortable. As a mother of a baby and toddler, my studio is fully stocked with diaper changers and all the baby supplies you'll need (and even a playroom if your little one needs a break!). Want a bigger studio or for me to come to you? I work with locations across Middle Tennessee, and can even come to your home for an additional fee.
-
Yes — every selected image includes a black and white version, beautifully edited to highlight the emotion and timeless quality of your portraits.
-
You’ll have access to a curated wardrobe of beautiful, timeless outfits — delicate, hand-selected pieces that add elegance and complement your child’s portraits perfectly. I don’t have every size, so check beforehand on sizing.
-
Yes! You’re welcome and encouraged to bring your own clothing, but many families find the curated wardrobe saves time and adds to the timeless, classic look of their portraits.
-
Yes — your child is welcome to wear as many outfits as you'd like within the session time. Whether you want to try one classic look or a few different styles, we’ll make the most of our 20–30 minutes together.
-
Yes — I’m happy to photograph siblings together, but each child must be booked separately to ensure they receive the time, attention, and portrait selection they deserve.
This allows me to capture each child’s unique personality with the same level of care and detail.
