An Elevated Journey in FINE ART CHILDHOOD PORTRAITURE

The Classic Heirloom Portrait is an artfully composed, vignette-style portrait of your child—timeless in tone, elegant in presentation. Each session includes access to our carefully curated wardrobe collection, designed to complement siblings and accommodate children from six months to twelve years of age. Babies must be able to sit well unassisted.

That timeless feeling will be captured in photographs                   

Her skill behind the lens was only outmatched by her kindness, joy and warm personality. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal age for an heirloom portrait?

While every stage of childhood is worth celebrating, we’ve found that certain ages lend themselves beautifully to the heirloom style. Discover our portrait timing philosophy to learn more about recommended milestones.

What if my child is camera shy or uncooperative?

You’re not alone—many children need a moment to warm up. We’ve designed our sessions with time and patience in mind, and our gentle approach consistently results in portraits that delight even the most hesitant little ones. Your only job is to relax—we’ll handle the rest.

How long will our session take?

Studio sessions are reserved in 20-minute blocks to have time for welcoming and changing into wardrobe selections, though most are completed within 10 minutes. Please plan to arrive on time; we include time for wardrobe changes within your session window.

What kind of shoes should my child wear?

No shoes needed! Heirloom portraits are typically cropped above the waist.
