Fine art child portraits
Silk wraps, floral crowns and dried flowers on a dark, painterly backdrop. Fine art portraits are their own kind of photograph, closer to a painting than a family snapshot.
Most families in these photographs are wearing their own clothes. The studio wardrobe holds gowns and dresses for mothers only, so if you see a gown you love, send us a screenshot on WhatsApp and we will tell you whether it is ours.
What a fine art portrait is
The look. A dark, softly lit backdrop, one source of light and the child in fabric rather than clothes: a silk wrap, a draped dress, flowers in the hair. The frames are still and quiet, and made to be printed large.
Children and families. Most fine art portraits are of a child on their own or two siblings together, but the same light and styling work for a whole family, as some of the frames here show.
Styling. Fabrics, crowns and dried flowers are part of the set. Parents in plain, muted colours or ivory fit in without pulling attention from the child.
Asking for it. Tell us when you book that you would like fine art frames, so we can plan the styling and the time for them.
What age works best for fine art portraits?
Any child who can sit or stand for a few moments. The frames on this page range from babies held by a parent to children of nine and ten.
What should we wear?
Pick one palette, not one colour: neutrals with one accent, or tones of the same family. Solid colours photograph better than prints, and logos are best left at home. During onboarding we look at what everyone has and suggest combinations.
Will we get black and white versions?
Yes. Every edited photo is delivered in both colour and black and white.
