Heirloom Portraits
Merriment on main
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.
Your investment includes the portrait sitting itself, as well as editing of portrait proofs. Once the final proofs are complete, I then offer collections that include custom framing and digital file options.
All digitals and custom framed art pieces are purchased after the gallery reveal.
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 of 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
