This handsome little guy was so fun to work with! I went to his family home in Raleigh to take his photography session for the reference photo for his pastel heirloom portrait, and I enjoyed visiting with him and his little brother so much. They played and we chatted and got to know each other a little bit while I set up my mobile photography studio in their playroom. It took me about 10 minutes to set up and then it was his time to shine! He did so amazing; he was finished in less than 10 minutes and we had the sweetest little captures of him to choose from as a result. His parents chose this sweet smile for his pastel portrait painting and I got to work!  We customized the measurements of his heirloom portrait as a special project and it really came out so nicely! My favorite part of the portrait process is always the delivery! I love seeing my clients admire their finished artwork!

Throughout childhood, there are special milestones to consider highlighting in some way. The 4th birthday and 5th birthday milestones are one of the most popular and are a quintessential age for a vignette portrait or an heirloom portrait painting. Children at these ages have grown into their features enough that you can really see a glimpse of the big kid they will become, and yet they still have their sweet little baby faces. It truly is the best of both worlds, and is the perfect age for a portrait
