Heirloom Portraits - A Timeless Tradition in Children’s Portraiture

Dec 28

Heirloom Portraits are a traditionally Southern, Southeastern United States exactly, style of photography involving a child’s closeup photograph against a white backdrop with a smokey white vignette. The child will usually wear light or neutral-colored clothing, large bows in their hair or sweet Peter Pan collars, etc.

These photographs would have been black and white, historically, and many still are, though color is increasingly becoming a popular option for these timeless archival-quality keepsakes of childhood innocence.

Heirloom Portraits will grace a home’s walls for generations, with many homes displaying multiple generations of family members’ portraits together on the wall.

These portraits come finished, framed, and ready to be hung from a professional lab and will last over 100 years when properly cared for.
