As a children's photographer in Raleigh, I recently had the joy of capturing this sweet boy for his heirloom photography session, and oh goodness, he was a doll! I went to their family home to take these portraits for a special milestone - his first birthday! We had a lot of fun at his photography session. He was a little reserved at first, but before long he was cracking big smiles and showing off his brand new little teeth! It was tough to choose just 5 images for his composite portrait, but I think his mom and dad did a great job choosing which images to include - they really show off so many sides of his little personality just perfectly. 

To enhance the timeless charm of the session, sweet boy was dressed in a simple European-style collared outfit, reminiscent of old fashioned classic children's wear.  These simple, classic styles contribute to the overall heirloom feel we always aim to achieve. This style of wardrobe for children's portraits is perfect as it complements the natural innocence of babyhood. Our goal in each photography session is to capture photographs that will become cherished family heirlooms. By focusing on classic children's wear, timeless expressions, and the use of black and white photography, we aimed to create images that evoke emotion and stand the test of time.

The Portrait Study is a classic, old-fashioned style of heirloom portrait. It includes 5 vignette black and white headshots of your little one, capturing a range of emotions in one captivating photograph. When composited together, they tell a perfect story of this milestone in their babyhood. We work with clients across Raleigh and Durham to create this timeless and classic art of their children. If you have a baby who is celebrating a first birthday, we would love to help you capture this precious milestone with your own Portrait Study composite heirloom portrait. Get in touch today!
