Family heirlooms and keepsakes are a wonderful way to tell your family's story, continue a tradition, remember a loved one, and more. They bring a unique touch to any photography session, but can be especially meaningful as you celebrate the growth of your family with your child's newborn session. Including heirlooms in your newborn's session is a beautiful way to tie the whole family together and show your family's history or a special family story through photographs, and it's a way to include your child in the lives that came before them.
Heirloom photos might not be the right fit for every family, but if you have a special item that's been passed down to you or that you'd like to pass down to your child, if you have a photo or keepsake from a loved one's life who has passed away, or if you have a family tradition that you hope to share with your child someday, it's worth considering asking your photographer to include a few photos with that item because it can make for some truly special memories! Heirlooms and keepsakes are another wonderful way to make your newborn session memorable and special, and are guaranteed to provide you with beautiful photos you'll cherish forever!
