Recently, I had the pleasure of welcoming a sweet little girl and her big sister into my photography studio just beyond Raleigh. We were photographing the reference images for their charcoal heirloom portraits. We have taken all varieties of portraits for this sweet girl, ranging from Christmas to dance, but for this milestone, her mom wanted a classic charcoal heirloom portrait. Timeless and enduring, heirloom portraits are one of those special pieces of art that are designed to stay on the wall forever. Once we had gone through her proofing images, her mom settled on this understated smile that showed her personality perfectly while still allowing her eyes to take centerstage. I then began the process of her charcoal artwork.

As a seasoned artist committed to excellence, I specialize in creating portrait heirloom paintings that seamlessly blend classic portrait techniques with the highest quality materials. Each heirloom portrait has individualized attention throughout the whole process and is crafted out of all museum and conservation grade materials. They are also styled in such a way as to capture the individuality of your child, while remaining timeless and classic. Delivered custom framed and ready to hang on your wall, the process really couldn't be easier. It's such an uncomplicated process to produce such a stunning result.

These portraits are so special and truly tell a story without any words. As a dedicated Raleigh heirloom portrait photographer, I would love for you to get in touch when you're ready to get started on the journey of creating a bespoke heirloom portrait for your child. Our services extend throughout the Greater Raleigh area, and we look forward to collaborating with your family to create one of these timeless childhood pieces of art.
