little keepsake Portrait sessions

watch them grow

Little keepsake portrait sessions are short and sweet mini sessions designed to create timeless, heirloom portraits of your child without the pressure of a full photoshoot. Just a few gentle minutes, a calm space, and images that feel like they belong in a well loved book on your shelf.



Sometimes the most meaningful images come from just a few quiet minutes — when a child is allowed to be exactly who they are.

"these pictures are beyond beautiful! you made the whole process so easy and so fun! Thank you!"

You captured me so well! I never thought I was photogenic. Thanks for making me look fabulous!

Your child will get to bring along a favorite toy (and maybe even their favorite snacks)… something they love to hold tight, something that makes them giggle, something that feels like home. I will use it to spark little moments and silly interactions that invite genuine expressions without pressure. The result is a gallery of honest smiles, curious looks, precious details and real personality. Each gallery includes 3 images of your child with various expressions and two detail images (hand edited in color and black and white). Little Keepsake Portraits are delivered as 4x6 fine art prints and digitals, with one heirloom frame included. Option to host in your own home available for 2026!

Where are most of your photos kept? Whether they are digitally stored in Facebook folders or physically printed and kept in shoeboxes in the basement, I think most people would agree that they don't intentionally look through their photos very often. 
One reason I don't do 'in-person sales' is because I want my clients to be able to print their photos anywhere and anytime they want to. But I've heard from clients who aren't sure what to do with the digital gallery after it gets downloaded.

After years of thinking about this dilemma, I've slowly put together a collection of my favorite photo gifts. Keepsake boxes are a beautiful, tangible gift to add to any session. These boxes include five beautiful, unique items, designed with your favorite photos, meant to be displayed and enjoyed over and over. Each box includes a one-of-a-kind, hand felted imaged that is displayed in a hoop frame, 15 snapshot photos, a year end ornament, a small portrait photo book, a gratitude journal, and three identical mini flip books that are double sided and magnetic. 

Hand-felted images may also be commissioned separately.
