As a children’s heirloom photographer based in Williamsburg, Virginia, I’m thrilled to now offer Richmond heirloom portraits for families who treasure tradition, history, and fine art. These timeless portraits—featuring your child in soft, classic clothing with a hand-painted backdrop—capture more than a face. They tell the story of who they are in this fleeting season of childhood.
Whether you’re in the heart of Richmond, the West End, Midlothian, or beyond, I now offer the opportunity to host heirloom events in the comfort of your home or a charming local studio. If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing your child’s portrait hanging alongside generations before, this experience was made for you.
Whether we shoot at a Richmond studio or your living room, I bring my full-service heirloom portrait experience with me.
"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!!"
Host an Heirloom Portrait Event in Richmond
Bring the Portrait Studio to You
Gather a few friends and host a Heirloom Portrait Event in your home or at a local Richmond, Virginia studio. These special days are thoughtfully styled, beautifully lit, and completely stress-free. I’ll bring everything needed—from backdrops and studio lighting to wardrobe advice and posing guidance. You simply open your doors to other families who value timeless portraiture.
Perfect for Richmond Moms Who…
Love to host with intention
Have little ones aged 6 months to 6 years
Want something more meaningful than mini sessions
Appreciate Southern charm, smocked outfits, and true heirlooms
As a host, you’ll enjoy a complimentary session and early access to booking.
You don’t have to travel to Williamsburg to receive the full heirloom experience. I now offer Richmond heirloom sessions throughout the city—including private homes, event spaces, or even charming local studios like those in Carytown or Church Hill.
From the moment you inquire to the day your framed portrait hangs in your home, I’ll guide you every step of the way with curated wardrobe advice, timeless frame options, and a tailored ordering experience.
✔ A 10–15 minute studio-style portrait session
✔ Your choice of white or pastel heirloom outfits (or use your own!)
✔ Styling guidance before your session
✔ A private ordering appointment to select fine art prints and custom frames
✔ The option to include a lifestyle portrait as well when booking a Signature Heirloom Session
Featuring the Charlotte Sy Dimby Cerise dress with Tiara.
"..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."
Whether you’re ready to host a Heirloom Event in Richmond or want to inquire about booking a private session, I’d love to connect with you. These portraits are designed to become part of your family’s story—passed down, admired, and treasured for generations.
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.
