What makes an Heirloom Portrait special?

Creating an heirloom portrait begins in the planning. Special focus is taken to choose classic clothing, moving away from trendy or distracting elements and focusing instead on simplicity and timelessness. In the styling of the image captures, we again focus on crisp, clean and simple images that aren't marked by industry trends at the time, which will eventually date your portraits. Something I try to remind my clients of frequently is the fact that we always like trends in the moment, but just a handful of years later and we see how distracting and dated they actually were. With a piece of portrait art that is going to hang on your wall forever, it's important to get it right with the styling of the photography session itself. But we can't stop there, and we don't! Once we have the perfect images captured, each heirloom portrait is printed on museum grade pure cotton, and matted against a museum grade mat. It is then finished off with conservation grade framing and ready to hang on your wall. When properly cared for, your heirloom portrait's lifespan is greater than 200 years. For these precious memories that deserve the best, heirloom portraits deliver in every possible way.
