This charcoal portrait of a four-year-old boy in Raleigh captures his most captivating serious expression, framed beautifully and designed to hang alongside his sister’s portrait. His session took place in the comfort of their family home, creating an intimate and relaxed atmosphere while his sister looked on.

A Captivating Expression

With his dark hair and the prettiest eyes, he exudes a quiet intensity that comes through in charcoal. His expression is thoughtful and serious, yet full of personality, giving the portrait a timeless and heirloom quality.

Home Session with Sibling Moments

While his session focused on him, we also captured a few fun moments together with his sister at the end. A couple of candid images celebrate their sibling connection, while keeping the main portrait dedicated to him. Eventually, the family plans to have full family portraits, but this session was all about highlighting his individuality.

Classic Charcoal and Elegant Presentation

The portrait was finished on torn-edge cotton, adding texture and a hand-crafted feel. It was delivered framed in a sleek slimline gold frame, perfectly complementing his serious expression and the monochromatic tones of the charcoal medium. This makes it ideal for display alongside his sister’s earlier portrait, creating a harmonious family collection.
