Where Your Family Portraits Become Family Heirlooms
Philadelphia’s Boutique Photography Studio Creating Timeless Legacy Artwork
OLD CITY PHILADELPHIA | BY APPOINTMENT ONLY | FAMILY, MATERNITY, NEWBORN, BIRTH AND MULTIGENERATIONAL PORTRAITS
Your Family Deserves More Than a Phone Gallery.
Your kids, grandkids and great grandkids will not be scrolling through your camera roll.
They will be running down your halls and pulling albums off the shelf you told them 20 times not to touch.
They may not notice it at first, but every glance at those walls and pages will be silently telling them who they are… loved, cherished, and part of a beautiful story spanning lifetimes past, present, and future.
Let’s give your family the gift of legacy.

What to Expect:

In-Studio Planning Consultation
We’ll start with a short phone call where I will share what to expect and begin getting to know you and your family. From there, we’ll schedule an in-studio consultation where we’ll sit down together and begin planning your personalized experience.

Image Reveal & Ordering Appointment
The moment you’ve been waiting for! Sit back and enjoy seeing your images for the first time blown up on our studio wall. We’ll guide you every step—from picking your favorite images to selecting custom artwork specifically designed for your home.
Don’t Wait to Cherish What Matters Most
If your house were on fire and you had only seconds to decide what to save, what would you grab? Almost every one of our parents answers the same: our family photos.
Because deep down, we know—they’re more than paper or pixels. They are proof of love, the heartbeat of your legacy, and the one thing that connects generations long after our voices have quieted.
Too many families let life pass by without taking the time to create artwork of their family that they’ll treasure forever. We make the process simple, relaxed, and most of all—fun.
Meet Naomi
I’m Naomi — photographer, painter, doula, and mother, passionate about helping families preserve the love, connection, and stories that define them.
I come from a long line of female artists, and growing up surrounded by generations of artwork on our walls, I felt part of something bigger than myself. That early exposure didn’t just shape my creativity—it taught me the power of legacy and how visual storytelling can connect generations.
Today, I help families create that same lasting legacy through portraits. By capturing authentic moments and celebrating each family’s unique story, I aim to give children a sense of belonging and confidence in their identity. Seeing themselves reflected in a family portrait helps them understand who they are and where they come from—a foundation that shapes how they carry themselves in the world.
Every session is an opportunity to pause time, honor your family’s love, and create artwork that will not only be cherished for generations but will also be the heartbeat of your home as your children grow up. These images aren’t just photos—they’re legacy pieces, visual love letters your children will carry with them forever.

"Naomi did a photo shoot for me and my 7 month old baby. As a mom herself, Naomi did an amazing job getting my little guy to smile and look ADORABLE in the pics. She made us feel comfortable throughout the shoot. But when I got the pictures...words can't describe. They were so beautiful I almost cried. I really appreciate Naomi capturing this moment in our lives. I can't recommend her enough."

This hybrid experience gives you the best of both worlds, all in one session, without a long drive or extra stress for your family.
