ABOUT THE ARTIST
Over the past 22 years, I've photographed more than 2,000 families with children of all ages.
From my own experience as a mother and family photographer, I know all too well how quickly we lose track of these early stages.
In the fast-paced lives we live, we have thousands of snapshots on our phones, but I wanted to create artwork that would honor tradition and be worthy of passing down to future generations.
To do so requires mastery of the craft and an incredible attention to quality and detail.
Recognized in my field, I am honored to have earned the Master of Photography degree and Certified Professional Photographer designation from the Professional Photographers of America as well as receiving numerous state, national and international awards along with having my work featured in magazines.
KIND WORDS
“Seeing this beautiful artwork brings tears to my eyes every time I look at it. It captures all of Molly's features perfectly and is just so special. The attention to detail and quality is just exceptional. Molly thinks she looks so cute, too! Shana is truly and artist!”
-Jamie Oeltjen
You can't go back in time.
I absolutely adore photographing heirloom portraits of children, and this experience features everything I love.
The foundation for an heirloom portrait is classic, traditional clothing that sets the scene for a timeless art piece. Without the distraction of trendy clothing and busy backgrounds, each child's sweet personality shines through.
These portraits are gorgeous on the walls of the most beautiful interiors, and everyone who sees them will know the value you place in family.
Each heirloom portrait is created using museum-quality materials and finished with the most beautiful custom frames. Hand gilded and aged by artisans using similar materials and techniques from hundreds of years ago, these frames are available in both silver and gold leaf. Both oval and square corner frames are available.
Please allow up to four months for completion. Finished artwork is priced separately and ranges from $2150 for an unframed 16x20 inch portrait to $3200 for a framed 20x24 inch portrait.
I can assure you these portraits will only increase in value as your child matures and this stage lives only in your memory.
