I wanted to start offering these classic portraits after I fell in love with the ones I documented of my own girls. I really wanted something timeless that was meant to be displayed in your home and could blend seamlessly with portraits of your own childhood.
These classic, vignetted portraits will become your cherished, family heirlooms.
The Process:
1. Wardrobe planning
2. The Sitting
3. Viewing & choosing artwork
4. Custom Artwork
When scheduling these portraits please make sure your child is able to sit on their own. Heirloom portraits are common for young children (6 months to 8 years old) but I absolutely think they are perfect for older children as well. It’s never too late to add these precious heirlooms to your home.
what is the best age for heirloom portraits?
where do heirloom portraits take place?
Sessions take place within Mallori's home studio located in Greer, SC. Sittings are by appointment only and take place during weekday mornings.
what should my child wear?
For a true heirloom look, choose pieces that have a collar, smocking, lace trim, etc. When you book, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a full list of my favorite local boutiques and heirloom brands.
How long is the sitting?
Sittings can take anywhere from 5-20 minutes, depending on the age and cooperation level of the child. Some little ones need a little “warming up” before their real personality comes out. Therefore, there’s no exact time limit on these sittings. Just patience to create the portraits I know you’ll cherish for the rest of time!
