OUR SIGNATURE OFFERING Full-service, Classic Heirloom Children's Portraits

CLASSIC HEIRLOOM PORTRAITS

Dreama Spence, proudly offers classic heirloom photography to Williamsburg, Virginia and families all along the Chesapeake Bay, who value both tradition and fine art.

A southern tradition that celebrates all the sweet details and innocence of childhood.

These classic, vignetted portraits will become your most favorite wall decor and most cherished, family heirlooms.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The Signature
Heirloom Portrait

The Classic Heirloom Portrait is a timeless vignette individual portrait of your child that your family will treasure forever. 

As a child who grew up without photos and a full-service portrait artist, I truly believe the magic is in the time-tested tradition of printed portraits. I will work along side you to create custom framed pieces you’ll be in awe of until they are passed on to your child’s children.

  1. CLOTHING CONSULTATION
    We will talk about options and the clothing pieces that work best for these portraits and for your child.

  2. PORTRAIT SESSION
    This is an experience that will become a core memory for your child. With my experience as a photographer for more than 10 years, I know just how to keep your child engaged and works quickly to ensure the children leave just as happy as they were coming in to see me.

  3. ORDERING APPOINTMENT
    I meet with each client for these in-studio appointments that include a projected slideshow of all the precious portraits from the session. Together, you will narrow down your favoite options for framed artwork. You will be able to see the portraits on the wall in different sizes and frame options. We can also use virtual design software, to see these options on your own wall from a simple photo taken with your phone. Clients love this part of the process.

  4. DELIVERY
    Clients are invited back to the studio with their children for the big reveal. The children love seeing their portraits for the first time, and it is truly such a sweet moment. For out of town clients, we will arrange for shipping. 

STYLING YOUR PORTRAIT

These traditional heirloom portraits are photographed on white backdrops, so you’ll want to choose a color that will blends well. Shades of white (preferred), cream, light blue and soft pink work best with this style pf portraiture.  European styles, french hand sewn heirloom clothing, hand smocked bishop dresses or rompers, and christening gowns.

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE BRANDS:

CLIENT’S COOPORATION:
I aim to provide the best experience possible for you and your child! I’ve photographed many children over the years and have been successful in making everyone feel at ease and are capable of capturing every personality type! However, if i’m unable to complete the session due to lack of cooperation, I will do my best to reschedule another sitting within the year. This is extremely rare and considerations will be given based on the circumstance.

ADD-ON SIBLING PORTRAIT SESSIONS:
Sibling shots are unfortunately never a guarantee. I love snapping a few sibling portraits if your kiddos are willing and able to cooperate. If you decide to book our Add-On: Better Together to your session(s) and at the day of your session your crew is not cooperating, we will simply issue a refund.
*Please note: ALL subjects in the sibling shot must be scheduled for individual sessions as well.
