Consistency & Craftsmanship

Our Style

Traditional portraiture uses light to capture the contour of your child's features without losing detail.

Expression and posture work together to distinguish a sitting portrait from other modes of photography.

Our Standard

Heirlooms are not only for passing down, they are for passing by each day as your children grow up in your home.

They will want the same for their children. That is how traditions are kept alive.

“Everything about the process felt thoughtful — and the final product took my breath away.”

The Born & Raised Standard

Born & Raised exists to uphold a single, uncompromising standard for heirloom artwork.

With centralized retouching, framing, and client liaisons, we are able to provide consistent artwork for your home year after year.

For all commissioned artwork, we represent and connect clients with photographers and artists whose work aligns with our vision. We oversee retouching, framing, and fulfillment.

Artists and locations may vary.

The Born & Raised Standard does not.

Our Why

Over the past decade of meeting families, I have found that regardless of the region or tax bracket, most moms share these truths:

Our mental load is HEAVY.

Our homes are full of clutter yet our walls are bare.

We value traditions but we don't stop to make our own.

We think we will always remember but we forget.

There is so much out there that we don't know where to start.

Time keeps passing and we can't get it back.

We just need some help.

If you are drawn to my work, I am here to make sure that your children have a place on your walls in a way that honors your time, your home, and your budget with no regrets.
