Ditch the boring. Capture the magic!

Why Choose Us?

At Heritage Studios, we go beyond just taking pictures—we create an experience! Unlike traditional daycare photography, our exclusive themed sessions let kids dress up, use props, and show off their unique personalities with at least eight fun poses each. Plus, we make picture day effortless for daycare directors by handling everything from start to finish, including on-site sales so you don’t have to. And because we value long-term partnerships, we give back a portion of proceeds to your center—an amount that grows every year!

Discover our services

Vintage

Step back in time with our Vintage-Themed Photography Sessions. Your little ones will be dressed in carefully curated, outfits that bring out the innocence and elegance of vintage childhood. With soft, warm tones and thoughtfully styled props—such as antique strollers, antique bicycles, trunks, pearls and hats —we create a scene straight out of history.

Western

Wrangle up some fun with our Western-Themed Photography Sessions! Dressed in cowboy hats, boots, and bandanas, your little one will shine against rustic backdrops featuring hay bales, saddles, and wooden fences. With warm, earthy tones, we capture the playful spirit of the Wild West—creating timeless portraits you’ll treasure forever.

Traditional

Celebrate timeless elegance with our Traditional Photography Sessions. Students wear their own clothes, and will be captured against simply styled backdrops that highlight the innocence and joy of childhood. With soft lighting and minimal props, we create portraits that feel warm, nostalgic, and truly timeless.

How we work?

Center Director, Winter Garden Academy

“We had the pleasure of working with Mr. Shaw, who came to our school to photograph our children for a vintage-themed session. He brought an incredible variety of props, and his patience and warmth really made the children feel comfortable. His professionalism shone through, and the photos he captured were absolutely stunning. While many of our families weren’t sure what to expect, once they saw the final pictures, they were truly in awe of how beautiful they turned out. The quality exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend Mr. Shaw to any school looking for unique, high-quality photos.”
