Just beyond the heart of Raleigh, I recently had the privilege of photographing an heirloom photography session of this handsome young man. I've worked with this family before; two summers ago I finished a charcoal heirloom portrait of their daughter. Now their son had reached the perfect age for his own heirloom. He was a blast and such a natural in front of my lens. 

He had the most amazing expressions, but his little dimpled soft smile stole the show. I was so excited to get to work on his charcoal. Once I had put the finishing touches on his artwork, his portrait was meticulously preserved on 100% hand-torn cotton. Custom-framed and delivered ready to hang on the walls of his family home, this sweet portrait will hang perfectly next to his sister's. 

As a Raleigh children's heirloom photographer, it's such a privilege to work with repeat families through the years as their kids grow. Heirloom portraits have the power to freeze fleeting moments in the most classic and uncomplicated ways. If you're ready to start the process of heirloom photography, I would love for you to get in touch!
