Pastel Baby Portraits | Raleigh, NC

This 1-year-old’s pastel portrait captures the delicate charm of early childhood. Dressed in a soft smoked pink bishop dress from Feltman Brothers, she became the centerpiece of a timeless heirloom artwork cherished by her family. Each loved one chose a frame to make their portrait uniquely special—champagne for some, gold for others—creating a personal keepsake that will be treasured for generations.


Why Choose a Pastel Portrait for Babies?

Pastel portraits bring softness, warmth, and an ethereal quality that perfectly complements a baby’s gentle expressions. Unlike photographs, the layered strokes of pastel add texture and depth, highlighting every precious detail from wisps of hair to twinkling eyes. For families who want a lasting heirloom, pastel offers a refined and timeless way to preserve early childhood.


A Portrait for Every Loved One

What makes this portrait especially meaningful is how it was shared among her family. Her grandmother, parents, and other loved ones each selected a frame that reflected their personal style, turning one portrait into multiple heirlooms. From champagne to gold, each frame complements the pastel artwork beautifully, making the portraits a cherished addition to their homes.


Custom Artwork for Raleigh Families

Every child is unique, and each portrait is tailored to capture personality and spirit. This Raleigh baby girl’s pastel portrait was carefully crafted to highlight her delicate charm and create a timeless heirloom for the family to enjoy for years to come.


Commission Your Own Pastel Portrait

Whether for a baby milestone, a family heirloom, or a special loved one, pastel portraits offer a soft, timeless way to celebrate and preserve cherished moments.
