Heirloom

family Photography

by Jaclyn Carfagna

timeless photography for families & mothers

Keepsake Sessions are built for families, mothers, and couples who want more than a photo for the holiday card. They’re for people who notice the way light hits the kitchen table, or the way your child always pulls their blanket a certain way before nap time. These are carefully curated galleries meant to capture the unique spirit of your family.

We work at your family’s pace, seeking presence over performance. Sometimes these shoots are playful and wild, sometimes quiet and close. There’s no pressure to perform or pose. I’ll gently guide when needed, but mostly I’m watching for connection, movement, and light.

With offerings in film and digital, your final images will carry the grain, tone, and texture of fine art. Family photos that you’ll want to hang on your wall. These sessions are about atmosphere, connection, and capturing the distinct spirit of your family as it is, right now.

Keepsake Packages

KEEPSAKE SESSIONS are designed to feel both intentional and effortless — a way to preserve your family’s story with care and artistry — ideal for family and maternity. We’ll begin with a planning consultation to talk through what matters most to you — timing, locations, wardrobe, and the small details that make your season of life unique.

Your session itself will unfold gently, over 60–90 minutes, either in the comfort of your home or at a meaningful location. I’ll create a blend of relaxed portraits, documentary-style candids, and thoughtful still-life details — the kind of images that become heirlooms.

Afterward, you’ll receive a curated gallery of 40–60 final photographs, delivered in both high-resolution (ready for print) and web-size (ready to share). Each Keepsake Session also includes a thank-you box with a selection of fine prints and a coffee table gallery book — a tangible way to hold onto the memories we’ve made.

Mini shoots

Seasonally, I offer mini shoot days in both Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Mini Sessions are a shorter way to capture a meaningful glimpse of your family’s story. Perfect for marking a season, celebrating a milestone, or simply creating a handful of images to treasure.

Each session lasts around 20 minutes, held at a pre-selected location. You’ll receive a thoughtfully curated gallery of 15–20 final images, delivered in both high-resolution (for print) and web-size (for sharing).

Mini Sessions are a gentle invitation to pause, gather, and preserve where you are right now — a small chapter in your family’s larger story.
