Heirloom portraits are my newest offering for the Birmingham, Alabama area and today I'm giving you 5 reasons you should book one for your children.
- Legacy Preservation: Heirloom sessions are not just about capturing images; they're about preserving legacies and this is an especially held tradition in the South. Imagine flipping through an album decades from now, sharing stories with future generations, and passing down a tangible piece of your family's history.
- Quality Craftsmanship: Unlike digital files that can be easily lost or corrupted, heirloom prints are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, using archival materials that stand the test of time. There are many times when I find that clients have not printed their portraits for years past, this can be a real diservice to your family. Investing in heirloom-quality products ensures that your memories are preserved in the highest possible standard, maintaining their beauty and integrity for generations to come.
- The Details: Wardrobe can usually feel like a daunting task when planning a photo session, but I find that heirloom sessions to be one of the easiest. Light colors are a preferred look with meticulous details shown on the chest; this allows for the full focus and attention to be on your child's face. Another detail that is easily taken care of is shoes...you don't need 'em! We are aiming for a classic, timeless look that's shows off not only that style but showcases your children.
- Artistic Expression: Heirloom sessions offer an opportunity for artistic expression beyond the confines of a smartphone camera. Sitting still for a formal portrait can be a tough ask for some younger children, ahem, and tweens. I have 15 years of experience with every temperament and can keep it moving smoothly for everyone. The result is a collection of stunning photographs that double as works of art, worthy of display in your home for years to come.
- The Comfort in Studio: The South's weather can be rather unpredictable, much like our young children; you never know when the next storm or heat wave will come through. The studio provides a level of comfort and easy that's vital for heirloom sessions to succeed. No worrying about sweaty brows, rainy weather, shivering babies in the winter months.
I'm thrilled to finally include heirloom portraits in my offerings and look forward to perserving your family's legacy. Bookings may be made anytime, siblings may be added on, and a print collection is also available.
