In the heart of Raleigh, I recently had the pleasure of capturing a striking black and white heirloom portrait of the most handsome little 8-year-old boy. His charcoal portrait painting is a recent favorite of mine, and it was so fun seeing it come to life. We created a custom-sized piece to perfectly fit a designated space in the family dining room, which would serve as a focal point and conversation piece in their home. His artwork was carefully crafted to showcase his sweet demeanor and soulful eyes; it was preserved on hand torn cotton and float-mounted against museum-grade cotton matting. Lastly it was framed in a sleek gold slimline frame with all conservation-grade materials.

As a Raleigh child heirloom photographer, it's inspiring and a privilege to work with families who appreciate the value classic and timeless children's portraiture has to offer. I offer a full line of heirloom portrait art, ranging from full body oil paintings, to head and shoulders pastel and charcoal vignettes. I am immensely proud of each heirloom portrait piece that leaves my hands and I find joy in creating art that stands still in a fast-paced world. In each heirloom portrait, there lies a timeless story—a story of childhood, family, and the enduring power of art. In a world that moves fast, these portraits stand still.

If you're ready to capture your child's story through timeless heirloom portraiture, I invite you to schedule a consultation. Together, we can create a custom portrait that will become a treasured centerpiece in your home for generations to come. Let’s turn your vision into art that stands still in time.
