Portraits for you and your future generations
HEIRLOOM B&W Portraits were inspired by the idea that we really are creating heirloom images together that you can print, treasure, and pass on to your children as a memory of their childhood and all the love you gave them to help them grow.

Room for more
Previously, each session was limited to one parent and child. As I’ve refined the art of taking these special portraits, I’ve gotten, well, faster! I can now accommodate up to five people (e.g. two parents and three children) per 15-minute appointment.
But don’t let that number stick in your mind; you are welcome to come solo as an expecting mom, in a duo as a couple or parent and child, or as a trio as a grandparent with two beloved grandkids. Or of course, come with your beloved pet! The point is: HEIRLOOM is for your family’s legacy.

FAQs
-
Of course! You should receive a link to recommended artists upon booking!
-
You can bring up to four people with you per time slot, but please note that you might not all fit into the picture at once due to the size of the backdrop (4ish feet).
I can promise you that you will have a picture with each person individually or we can rotate through different combinations. Sometimes we can squeeze in all four if your kids or pets are tiny If you are bringing more than four family members, please book additional time (see add-ons)
-
Please do! Many expecting parents have attended HEIRLOOM portraits over the years. One special mother even kicked off her labour at the end of her session! Best memory ever :)
-
Absolutely. That would be so precious :)
-
Yes! HEIRLOOM Portraits work beautifully for couples.
-
You absolutely may. I can issue you a separate receipt for your business if you would like.
-
Possibly! If your pet is somewhat mellow and and you’re not bringing children, for sure they are welcome.
I am usually totally open to welcoming pets with children, but due to the delicate nature of the floral installations (depending on final designs) I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring along very high energy pets or pets + children this time.
-
Yes, you can order them right from your gallery once it’s ready.
-
You can see lots of examples on the site here. High contrast black and white portraits.
