Every year, I host a limited heirloom portrait mini event in Louisville created for parents who want something more meaningful than a typical seasonal photo session. This once-a-year event offers a refined, timeless way to preserve your child exactly as they are in this fleeting season of life—simple, beautiful, and designed to last for generations.
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to experience heirloom portraiture, this annual heirloom portrait mini event is the most accessible way to begin. This year’s heirloom portrait event is taking place on Sunday, February 8th. BOOKING IS OPEN NOW.
What Are Heirloom Portraits?
Heirloom portraits are classic, intentional portraits that focus entirely on your child—without trends, props, or distractions. Clean backgrounds, soft light, and thoughtful composition allow their features, expressions, and quiet personality to take center stage.
These portraits are created with longevity in mind. Rather than reflecting what’s popular right now, heirloom portraits are designed to remain timeless, becoming meaningful artwork you’ll proudly display and pass down within your family.
About the Annual Heirloom Portrait Mini Event
This annual heirloom portrait event takes place once per year and offers a petite version of my signature heirloom experience. Sessions are intentionally short and thoughtfully paced, while still maintaining the same level of care, artistry, and attention to detail found in my full heirloom sessions.
Because this heirloom portrait mini event is offered on a single day with back-to-back sessions, availability is extremely limited.
This event is ideal for:
- Parents wanting to begin an heirloom portrait collection
- Families documenting their children year after year
- Those seeking a timeless alternative to themed mini sessions
- Grandparents looking for meaningful artwork of their grandchildren
What to Expect During Your Session
Heirloom mini sessions are calm, simple, and child-led. There is no pressure for perfect smiles or stiff posing. I gently guide each child while allowing space for natural expressions and subtle moments to unfold.
Each heirloom portrait mini event session includes:
- A brief, efficiently paced studio session
- One child photographed per time slot
- Classic styling guidance provided in advance
- A cohesive, polished final gallery
Due to the petite nature of this event, sessions are best suited for children who can sit independently.
Styling for Heirloom Portraits
Wardrobe plays a key role in the timeless look of heirloom portraits. Soft neutrals, traditional silhouettes, and minimal patterns photograph beautifully and keep the focus where it belongs—on your child.
Prior to the heirloom portrait mini event, families receive detailed styling guidance along with access to select pieces from my curated client wardrobe. Pieces are prepared ahead of time to ensure everything is pressed, cohesive, and ready for a seamless experience.
Investment & Collections
This mini event is designed to be a more accessible entry point into heirloom portraiture while still offering tangible artwork you can enjoy for years to come.
Collections begin at $375 and include fine art prints and matching digital images. Three thoughtfully curated collections are available, allowing families to choose the level of artwork that best fits their home and vision. Additional heirloom products may be added after your session.
Full collection details and artwork options are shared on the booking page once registration opens.
Why Families Return to This Heirloom Portrait Mini Event Each Year
Many families choose to participate in this event year after year, creating a visual legacy of their children as they grow. Displayed together, these portraits tell a quiet, meaningful story—one year at a time.
This event isn’t about quick photos for social media. It’s about slowing down and preserving something that only becomes more valuable with time.
