Children’s Heirloom Portraits

Preserve the beauty of childhood with classic Heirloom Portraits! Designed for children 6 months to 6 years, each session captures timeless, elegant images you’ll treasure forever — with access to a curated wardrobe, hand-edited portraits, and fine art keepsakes.

The Sweetest Way to Remember Childhood.

There’s a reason parents everywhere are falling in love with Heirloom Portraits — those timeless, painterly photographs of little ones dressed in classic outfits, usually framed in ornate gold and looking like they belong in a vintage storybook.

It’s not just a trend. It’s a movement back to the art of slowing down, of capturing childhood the way it feels: pure, soft, and utterly unforgettable.

So, What Exactly Is an Heirloom Portrait?

Heirloom Portraits are a modern take on a vintage tradition — inspired by Southern portrait studios and the timeless charm of 19th-century children’s photography. You’ve likely seen them: soft white backdrops, chubby cheeks, sweet expressions, and beautifully styled children in hand-embroidered outfits.

Designed for children ages 6 months to 6 years, these portraits are carefully composed, professionally edited, and printed with the kind of quality that lasts generations. Think: the photo that your grandchildren will one day admire on your wall and say, “Was that Mom?”

Why Families Love Heirloom Portraits

Because time moves fast.

One minute they’re learning to sit up, and the next they’re running out the door for kindergarten. These portraits freeze those tender, fleeting moments in a way that’s both beautiful and lasting.

✔️ They're timeless – No trendy filters or props. Just classic, refined portraits that never go out of style.
✔️ They highlight who your child is – Not just what they look like. We capture personality, spirit, and sweet little quirks.
✔️ They’re designed to last – Hand-edited, fine art prints on archival materials. These aren’t photos that live on your phone — they hang on your wall.

They will never be smaller than they are today.

There is a fleeting window of time when your child is both impossibly small and becoming entirely themselves — full of wonder, sweetness, and spirit. Heirloom Portraits are designed to capture this delicate season with timeless elegance.

These portraits are more than just photographs — they are fine art keepsakes. With a classic, refined style, I highlight your child's innocence, personality, and beauty in a way that will remain treasured for generations.

They will never be smaller than they are today — and yet, they are the biggest they’ve ever been.

While your child will grow out of their clothes and toys, photographs of your little one will grow in value over time.

What to Expect

Every Heirloom Portrait session is intentionally crafted to be a calm, beautiful experience for both you and your child, intentionally slow, calm, and child-led — allowing space for genuine moments to shine.

  • Pre-Session Planning
    We’ll chat about your child’s personality, wardrobe options, and how to bring out their unique charm.

  • Client Wardrobe Access
    Choose from timeless, hand-embroidered pieces that photograph beautifully (and take the stress out of outfit planning!).

  • The Session
    Relaxed and paced with your child. No pressure — just soft light, gentle posing, and real smiles.

  • Final Images
    You'll receive hand-edited portraits in both color and black & white, along with the option to purchase fine art prints and custom keepsakes.

The result? Striking, museum-quality portraits that feel both classic and deeply personal. Each image is carefully edited, professionally printed, and designed to be cherished — not just now, but fifty years from now.

These portraits are meant to hang in your home and in your heart. To be passed down, admired, and remembered.

What feels ordinary today will one day feel like magic.

Children change before your eyes. What feels ordinary today — the curve of their cheeks, the way they look at you, that spark in their eyes — will one day feel like magic.

Heirloom Portraits freeze time in the most beautiful way. You’re not just investing in photographs. You’re preserving the most meaningful art you’ll ever own.
