Heirloom Portraits | A Southern Tradition
about
A call back to timeless tradition and the creation of heirloom artwork. In an age of digital over abundance, heirloom portraits call back to a time where we can slow down and be intentional. Where memories are made not for a gallery of a hundred on Facebook, but a well preserved and documented moment of the innocence of childhood and the creation of heirloom artwork for your home.

The Wardrobe
1. DO YOU OWN A GENERATIONAL HEIRLOOM PIECE?
Some families have that one special gown or outfit that has been passed down from great-great grandmother (or father) to the other. If you have a special piece like this, consider having your child wear it for their heirloom portrait. If you don’t have a generation piece, don’t worry there are lots of options for purchasing a modern heirloom outfit!
2. WHITE OR CREAM COLORED OUTFITS ARE IDEAL FOR HEIRLOOM PHOTOS
With the background of these traditional heirloom portraits being white, you want to choose a color that will blend well. Shades of white, cream, light blue and pink work best with this style pf portraiture. European styles, french hand sewn heirloom clothing, hand smocked bishop dresses or rompers, and christening gowns.
3. CHOOSE A TOP WITH A COLLAR
These portraits show children from the chest up. Try to select a top that has a collar to bring the focus to the face. For older boys, this may be a plain white collared button down shirt (please no polos). For younger boys, this may be a peter pan collar. Girls may opt for peter pan collars, bishop dresses, or smocked dresses. Even though the smocked and bishop dresses don’t have a collar, the smocking creates the visual effect of a collar by bringing the focus towards the face.
4. INCLUDE SLEEVES FOR HEIRLOOM PHOTOS
Tradition vignette photography is done with shoulders covered, so I recommend selecting an outfit with sleeves. Short sleeves work great as well and long sleeves.
5. WEAR A BOW
There is nothing sweeter than a bow in a girls hair! I do ask that the bow be smaller in size and not something that will take away from your little girls sweet features. We want the bow to compliment her outfit but not take away attention from her face. Choose a bow that compliments her outfit; white, cream, light pink, light blue etc. Little English has a great selection of bows.

OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH FINE ART HEIRLOOMS.... Keepsakes to pass on to your children and grandchildren. Our mission is to preserve the fundamental moments of those we have the honor of capturing through photographs in hope that through careful preservation of authentically curated moments we would never let a story go untold. A generation left without a tangible heritage or the power of love without a documented legacy..
