Heirloom Portrait sessions are a modern take on classic portrait sessions in front of a crisp, white backdrop. We actually have portraits of my father-in-law as a child just like these! These portraits harken back to a time of simpler technology. They have remained popular, especially in the Southern US for their timeless look, with many families coming to me to recreate portraits like they had taken of themselves as children. As a bonus, he simplicity of these portraits make them easy to incorporate into home decor.
Color and black and white images are both available. Images can be purchased in the form of folios, and archival, framed wall art. Corresponding digital files are included with print purchase. Want to document more than one milestone or more than one pose in your piece of art? A composite image my be just right for you! I can combine multiple poses or images from multiple sessions into one stunning piece of wall art.

The Legacy of Classic Portraits
"Kelley is WONDERFUL. She was so great with our daughter and was also so patient with us during the process of choosing which photos we wanted. Highly recommend!! We will definitely be going back to Kelley in the future."

These sessions are most popular at major milestones such as 6 months, 9 months, 1 years, 2 years, and 3 years.
If you are considering creating a composite from your heirloom portrait session, there are again multiple options. We can choose 3-5 images from a single session. We can mix and match images of multiple siblings. Scheduling multiple sessions over the course of a year or even 3 years is another beautiful way to document your child's growth. I've created composites from 6 month, 12 month, and 18 month milestones as well as from 1st, 2nd and 3rd birthdays! Your artwork is custom and therefore the options are endless!
