Timeless Portraits at Dayton’s Patterson Homestead | Sheldon James Photography
At Sheldon James Photography, we believe the setting of your portrait session should be as meaningful and unique as your story. Recently, we had the pleasure of photographing a bright young boy named Lukas at the historic Patterson Homestead Museum—a hidden gem nestled right off of Brown Street in Dayton, Ohio.

Capturing Lukas’ Personality and Growth
Lukas' portrait session was all about celebrating a new chapter in his young life. His bright smile, confident stance, and playful energy were front and center as we explored the grounds of the Homestead together. His parents were looking to update their family portrait collection with something classic, yet true to who Lukas is right now—and we delivered just that.
This session was a reminder of why we do what we do. Whether it’s a young child growing up too fast or a family looking to preserve this moment in time, portrait photography allows us to tell stories that last forever.
