Each portrait is thoughtfully designed from start to finish – from the soft lighting that highlights the gentle curves of their cheeks to the elegant, classic clothing that creates a sense of grace and nostalgia.

Simple details like Peter Pan collars, cable knitting, and fine embroidery bring out a feel of tradition that transcends trends, resulting in portraits that feel timeless.

Printed on the highest quality paper and carefully preserved with the finest archival materials, these portraits are more than just photographs – they are treasured heirlooms, ready to be displayed in your home and lovingly passed down, becoming part of your family’s story for years to come.

Heirloom portraits are a timeless celebration of childhood, capturing the delicate beauty of your little one in a way that feels like art passed down through generations.

If you have outfits already at home or have something else in mind and need a second opinion, reach out and I'd love to help!

These portraits will compliment any home decor style and will be the perfect way to personalize any space that needs a refresh or has been empty for a while. Allow me to assist you in printing and framing your photographs on fine art paper and float mounting onto a delicate custom frame. 

1. Keep it simple. Stick to solid colors (or subtle patterns) with a beautiful neck detail such as a peter pan, lace or eyelet collar.

2. Light, neutral colors are best - including white. Soft pinks, yellows, mints and baby blues also look great and can be muted even further in editing.

3. Choose classic styles over trendy ones. Traditional designs with details such as smocking and hand stitched embroidery look best in this style of portraiture.

4. Complement your child's personality. If your child loves to accessorize, a big white bow in her hair can also bring a stunning touch to your portrait.

5. The photographs won't show the bottoms so have your little one wear whatever is comfortable!
