Family Heirlooms In Your Newborn Session| Clarksburg Family And Newborn Portraits

Having family heirlooms in your newborn portrait session can add a beautiful layer of history to your newborn portraits. It's so wonderful when clients come in with blankets that were hand-made by great-grandma or onesies that were once dads. When you book your Clarksburg newborn portraits session be sure to mention bringing any heirlooms in with you.

I still have the stuffed dear that my preschool teacher gave to me when I was just 3 years old. I had been pushed off a slide and broke my left leg.  That stuffed dear has since been passed down to my son who has it alongside mom's bear from her childhood safely perched on the bookshelf.

I love that he will be able to tell his kids the story of how I got it, and then add to the story of how he got it.

Incorporating family heirlooms in your newborn's portraits is a great way of helping to enrich the story of your family.

This family is celebrating their first child. To help tell the story of their family they brought along a onesie that dad wore when he was this age and a blanket that was made by his mother. Mom ran the Boston Marathon with her father when she was 34 weeks pregnant! To honor that, a coworker created this gorgeous quilt.

When you're planning your newborn session, start thinking about what you could bring that has been passed down to you to help share the history of your growing family. Blankets, hats, onesies, and quilts are all great items to add that can be easily incorporated into your portraits.
