WHY HEIRLOOMS?

As my own children grew, I realized I couldn’t find the style of portraits I desired—one that would never appear dated, even decades later, just like those that hang on my parents’ and grandparents’ walls.

I searched and searched for photographers who created that natural, yet traditional, style of portraits. I found that while some photographers who captured heirloom portraits traveled here, none lived in the Lexington area. Thus, after photographing families for over 15 years, my new passion was born. And, because I live in this area, I realized that clients can come to me for portraits of multiple children or to document children as they grow.

After a few short months of focusing on heirloom portraits, I realized how few clients knew how to appropriately frame and archive their professional photos for proper preservation. As an artist, to me, the finished product is the framed portrait hanging on your wall—not the digital photo on your phone. 

Let’s be honest: as a parent myself, I know how many projects go unfinished. A big part of my “why” is that when you commit to a session with me, you finish with tangible, classic portraits ready to be hung on your wall that contribute to the overall design, comfort, and nostalgia of your home.
