When I first announced that I was starting to offer Heirloom Portraits, Davis and Sawyer’s mom reached out right away. She excitedly told me she’d been wanting portraits like these of her boys, and my announcement came at the perfect time! We were able to get the boys into the studio recently, and I’m in love with the results!
Davis and Sawyer’s Heirloom Portraits went fast. They are old enough to take direction without too many shenanigans on my part, so they were in and out of the studio in fifteen minutes – can you believe it?!
Heirloom Portraits are a fantastic way to capture your child’s personality in simple, traditional portraits. The boys’ mom ordered a pair of beautiful artwork pieces to hang on her wall, and I dare say they’ll still be there when Davis and Sawyer have their own kids!
Heirloom Portraits are especially lovely during those early childhood years, but there’s no hard-and-fast age limit. Davis was already getting toward the older end of the age range I photograph most often when we made these, and I love them just as much. It’s really never too late to create a beautiful portrait of your child exactly as they are right now.
Don’t they look so handsome in their white button downs? And I love Sawyer’s silly side eye smile!
Thanks so much for coming to see me, guys! I loved having you, and I hope you enjoy the results for many, many years to come!
If you’re reading this and thinking about scheduling an Heirloom Portrait session for your child, reach out to me! These portraits will not only look great on your wall, but they would make for beautiful holiday gifts for the grandparents and other loved ones!
