10-15 min session where I capture your child’s portrait and profile. Smiles are beautiful, but I also love the contemplative, cautious, and relaxed expressions. It’s about capturing who YOUR child is (while I also practically bounce on my head to make your child smile).

The process
This is the fun part! We do a virtual call where I show you your child’s beautiful images. After we go through them, I will help you pick your faves and then we will figure out the best way for you to showcase these images in your home!
Your selections will be ready in 2-3 weeks depending on what pieces you pick.

The sitting fee is $115. Then clients invest in digital images which starts at $250, fine art prints that start at $75, custom framing that starts at $400, and luxury albums that start at $800. A client's total investment is typically between $800 - $1000.
Heirloom Portraits are classic, vignetted portraits for families who value tradition and fine art. These portraits are a southern tradition that preserves all the sweet details and innocence of childhood and will become your cherished, family heirlooms for generations to come. Studio session’s are more for personality and milestones and are meant to be updated as birthday’s happen, as family members get added, and milestones are achieved.
I approach these sessions with the purpose of creating images you put up on the wall for the next 60 years. Heirloom Portraits get passed down from generation to generation. You invest in the session. You put the time and energy in. Why not follow through with the printing and framing it deserves rather than leaving it on your phone to get lost? Drug stores distort and oversaturate photos, different websites change the colors and crop when printing, frames bought from local stores don't protect your investment. We spend $$$ on art for our walls, window treatments for our windows, paint, ect.. these heirloom portraits should be no different. Plus there is something SO sweet about seeing your children flip through an album or hold out a print of their chubby little cheeks from a time you never want to forget.
Yes! During the custom ordering call you have the option to invest in the digital gallery and for every artwork order, the digital portrait is complimentary.
Typically between 6 months (sitting independently) and 8 years old are the best ages to create these portraits.
When you book your session, I will send you my favorite online boutiques to find the perfect outfit for your little one. For a true heirloom look, choose clothing that have details like ruffled or peterman collars, lace, smocking, piping, etc. For colors go with whites, soft blues and pinks, and avoid anything too dark.
Session's are 10-15 mins long. This is plenty of time for me to get both profiles, front facing, and a few personality portraits.
