Heirloom Portraits
VIRGINIA BEACH
Celebrate the sweet innocence and timeless details of childhood with this cherished Southern tradition. These classic, vignetted portraits will become your most treasured family heirlooms and favorite wall decor.
These timeless, vignetted portraits reflect the Southern tradition of creating meaningful heirlooms, perfect for adorning your walls or adding to a growing collection of family portraits.
This event is a simple yet special opportunity to honor your family’s story and preserve a moment in time with artwork that lasts forever.
"Dreama made getting precious photos of our toddler easy. She was very responsive and quick to return our gallery! They will be a keepsake for years to come. Thanks Dreama!!"
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:
The Beaufort Bonnet Company
Charlotte Sy Dimby
Elizabeth Layne Heirloom
Feltman Brothers
Strasburg Children
Southern Siblings

"..I cannot express how thrilled I am with the entire experience. From start to finish, Dreama’s professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were truly amazing."
My hard and fast rule is that your child must be able to sit independentaly. My favorite age to photograph is toddlers as close to their birthday as possible. Ideally older children are photographed before they’ve lost thier first tooth, but ive photographed children as old as 8 or 9.
Because these sessions are scheduled back-to-back, siblings cannot be included in the same session and will require their own dedicated time slot.
This is where you’ll paint the picture of your customer’s struggles. How are they feeling. What are their fears? Their hopes? And then briefly hint at how you can help them.
