Heirloom Children's Portraits
Heirloom Portraits for Children are timeless, fine art portraits designed to capture the sweet details and innocence of childhood that will be cherished for generations.
I wanted to start offering these classic portraits after I fell in love with the ones I documented of my own girls. These portraits aren’t just photographs—they are pieces of art that seamlessly blend the present with the past. They capture the fleeting moments of childhood while preserving them in a way that connects the generations. Each portrait is not only a reflection of your child as they are now but also a legacy to be passed down, evoking memories and emotions for years to come.

FAQ
WHAT IS THE BEST AGE FOR HEIRLOOM PORTRAITS?
A.Please make sure your child is able to sit on their own when you schedule a session. Heirloom portraits are common for young children (6 months to 8 years old) but they are perfect for older children as well. It’s never too late to add these precious heirlooms to your home.
WHERE DO HEIRLOOM PORTRAITS TAKE PLACE?
A.I can come to you and setup equipment in your home or I can also accommodate sessions within my own home in Dearborn, MI. Sittings are by appointment only and take place during weekday mornings.
WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR?
A.For a true heirloom look, choose pieces that have a collar, smocking, lace trim, etc. When you book, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a full list of my favorite heirloom brands. I am also available via phone and text to provide feedback on outfit choices.
HOW LONG IS THE SITTING?
A.Sittings can take anywhere from 5-20 minutes, depending on the age and cooperation level of the child. Some little ones need a little “warming up” before their real personality comes out. Therefore, there’s no exact time limit on these sittings. Just patience to create the portraits I know you’ll cherish for the rest of time!
