Savannah Children’s Heirloom Portraits

What are heirloom portraits?

In the South, family and tradition are woven into the very fabric of our culture. Heirloom portraits have long been a cherished tradition, symbolizing the passing down of family legacy through the artistry of photography. Each portrait is a masterpiece that not only freezes a moment in time but also becomes a tangible link between the past, present, and future.

Heirloom portraits typically feature children in sweet, smocked dresses, bubbles, dresses, or shirts with Peter Pan collars. Traditionally, the photographs are taken as a bust portrait, most often with a white background, and are completed with great attention to detail and a white vignette in post-processing. While many heirloom photographers deliver photographs only in black and white, some (me!) also offer color as well. Personally, I love having a color option in addition to black and white!  

These are portraits that are meant to be displayed in the home and passed down for generations, so many photographers offer only printed products for clients to purchase. I recognize we live in a digital age, and while I want you to have beautiful artwork to display in your home, I also understand wanting a digital copy as well. With this in mind, there are four collections that have been created for these portrait sessions, each with different combinations of printed and digital artwork. You can view each of the collections available by scrolling to the end of this page. While collections do include digital image files, digital files are not sold individually or without a printed product.

Why heirloom portraits?

I decided to start offering these sessions because I love the simplicity of them. By taking away all of the distractions, you get to focus just on your child, their sweet little features, and their precious expressions. However, parents choose heirloom portraiture for more than just a beautiful image–they want an enduring legacy captured in the most genuine way possible. These portraits, carefully crafted with love and attention to detail, become a living testament to the laughter, joy, and innocence of childhood. It’s not just a photograph; it’s a piece of your family’s history, a story waiting to be told and passed down.

Would you like pictures like this of your children?

You can schedule a private portrait session for your child, or reserve a spot at one of my Savannah, Gerogia heirloom portraits events held in the spring or fall of each year. Heirloom portrait event spots are very limited!
