Heirloom Portraits
Classic Children’s Portraiture
Sweet, simple, and made to last.
Portraits crafted to capture your child exactly as they are right now, in a way that will still take your breath away decades from now.
Hey, I’m Tanja
I Get It. I'm a Mom too, and I know exactly what these portraits will mean to your family.
Because I know what it’s like to want to hold on to every little moment and never let it go.
You deserve more than the thousands of images sitting on your phone. You deserve portraits that are intentional, elevated, and timeless. Portraits that become family heirlooms your children will treasure when they have homes of their own.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
This is the most common concern—and the one I'm most equipped to handle. With over 20 years working with children, I know how to adapt to any personality. Some kids need time to warm up. Some need to move around. And that is okay!
-
As long as it needs to. There's no time limit. Some sessions are 30 minutes, others take two hours. I follow your child's lead and we take breaks when needed.
-
We'll cover all of this in your styling consultation. I also have a curated client closet with pieces that work beautifully for heirloom portraits, so you don't have to stress about finding the perfect outfit.
