We are so excited to host our 3rd Annual “Classic Children Portraits” Event this year! We will be offering two session dates this year: Saturday, February 24 & Saturday, June 8th! These special “Classic Children Portraits” have become an event that so many families attend year after year.

You can book a February spot by clicking HERE & a June spot by clicking HERE. June spots are scheduled to open on Thursday, March 7, 2024, @ 8:00 pm SHARP!

What Makes Our Classic Children Portraits Special?

Our Classic Children Portraits are perfect for parents who need updated portraits of their children & not their entire family. They are “mini session” style, meaning quick & easy 15-minute sessions. Families receive all their digital images from their session & all images will be in color & black and white…. so double the images. The beauty of our Classic Children Portraits is that they are meant to be timeless & classic, guaranteed to never go out of style! Another great perk is that since these sessions are short & sweet, it’s also the perfect opportunity for sibling portraits. My dear friend & local Atlanta artist Claire King (@claireeliseking) will also have a pop-up shop at this year’s event. We can’t wait to see what beautiful artwork & watercolor pieces she will have on display for families to purchase!

ps: Do not confuse these portraits with “heirloom” portraits! For southern heirloom portraits, reach out to Linda Nichols. She is AMAZING & takes my own children’s heirloom portraits each year.

Session Details

Our Classic Children Portrait sessions include the following:

  • A 15-minute session, allowing plenty of time for those very classic portraits as well as time to warm up & capture those fun personality shots! It’s the best of both worlds.
  • All the BEST digital images from our time together in color & black & white
  • A seamless white backdrop, keeping the focus on your child/children
  • Sessions are conveniently held at Grace’s studio, located in Downtown Roswell
  • Editing of your portraits is crisp & timeless. Our top priority for our Classic Children Portraits is for your portraits to NEVER go out of style!

Day of Session Tips

  • Arrive several minutes early to your session! This extra time will allow your family to get checked in. The last thing you want is for your children to feel rushed & stressed before portraits!
  • Get dressed at the studio. You won’t want those beautiful outfits to wrinkle in the car. We have two public restrooms where children can get changed & go to the restroom beforehand.
  • Bring a brush. Sounds silly, but don’t forget a brush to smooth out car hair.
  • Sessions are held back to back, so if you are late there is no room for additional time. We run a very tight schedule!

Now to the Fun Part… Classic Children Portrait Outfits!

Our top two rules for choosing the PERFECT Classic Children Portrait outfit are: 1. “Less is More” and 2. When in doubt, add a monogram!

We want your child to be the focus, so selecting soft, solid colors is always best. In addition, adding a personalized touch of a monogram or name makes your child’s outfit extra special & personal. We love it when families add a simple monogram on the collar, the top of knee-high socks, or if wearing a sweater on the left chest.
