The Heirloom Giving Project

There are seasons of motherhood that pass quietly.
Moments that feel heavy, fleeting, or deeply meaningful, yet often go undocumented.

The Heirloom Giving Project was created to honor those moments.

This is a small, ongoing initiative where a limited number of portrait sessions are gifted to mothers and families who may be walking through a difficult season, or who might not otherwise have the opportunity to preserve this time in their lives.

Each session is approached with the same care, intention, and artistry as every portrait experience I offer. Because every story deserves to be held onto.

Who This Is For

This offering is thoughtfully reserved for families in meaningful or challenging seasons, including but not limited to:

  • Mothers navigating hardship or transition

  • NICU or medically complex journeys

  • Loss or remembrance

  • Single mothers or families in need of support

  • Any story that deserves to be seen, honored, and preserved

If someone comes to mind, you are warmly invited to nominate them.

The Experience

Selected families will receive a carefully curated portrait session designed to feel calm, supported, and effortless.

Each gifted session includes:

  • A thoughtfully guided portrait experience

  • A small collection of hand-edited images

  • Access to additional images or heirloom artwork if desired

These sessions are intentionally limited each month to ensure every family receives a meaningful and personalized experience.

Nominate a Family

If you know a mother or family whose story deserves to be documented and remembered, I would be honored to hear about them.

You may submit a nomination at the top of this page.

Each nomination is read with care. If selected, I will reach out personally.

A Note From Annabelle

Photography has always been more than images to me.
It is a way of holding onto what matters most.

The quiet connection.
The way a mother looks at her child.
The fleeting stages we wish we could pause.

This project exists to make sure those moments are not missed.

If you feel called to support this initiative, participation in select seasonal sessions throughout the year helps make these gifted experiences possible.
