I've been a children's photographer and portrait artist in the Greater Raleigh Area for 20 years. Long enough to see many trends come and go. The last few years, my heart has tirelessly pulled me to create classic, timeless, heirloom art and portrait paintings for children. Those that know me well know this is one of my greatest passions. But why is heirloom, and classical children's portraiture so important? The truth is, we always like fads and trendy styles in the present. They're cute and fun and certainly have their places in everyday snapshots and quick pictures. It's not until a few years later we realize exactly how dated those trends actually were. The fact is though, we don't get a redo of our portraits with our families and especially our little ones...

Right now, you have the privilege of seeing those little faces everyday. But the years are short... and babies don't keep. One of your greatest treasures will be your portraits; they will help you remember that tiny blur of time when your little ones were small. One of the greatest gifts you will give yourself is the gift of being able to study those baby faces and expressions, their profiles and eyelashes, and cherub lips without wincing at out of style fads. Heirloom children's portraits are designed to never go out of style. From the style of dress, to the archival and museum grade materials used to create these pieces of art, your child's heirloom portrait will be enjoyed for generations. Heirloom portraits are an old fashioned style of black and white or pastel studio portraits. We create these beautiful pieces of art for clients throughout Raleigh, Durham, Cary and beyond.
