What do you do actually DO with the photographs of your family? Do they live in your phone? On a disk in your drawer? Do you even know where to find what you’re looking for? I’m here to help rescue your family portraits from obsolescence with this ultimate guide to decorating your home with portraits.
I am a firm believer in printing photographs. There is absolutely no substitute for sitting down with a box of loose prints, thumbing through them and reminiscing. Or watching your children flip through their own baby albums, marveling at how little (and chubby!) they were. Or passing by that vintage black and white portrait of your youthful grandparents on their wedding day that hangs in the gallery on your stairs.
Images are emotive – they make you FEEL something. We feel connected to the faces that we see in printed photographs, and we feel loved and celebrated when someone puts our photographs in a place of prominence. Printed portraits are a legacy to be handed down for generations. They tell our story.
Technology is great, and there is no doubt it’s handy and convenient to keep so many images of our loved ones in the phones in our purse or pocket – these little gadgets make it easy to document our everyday lives! But how many of those thousands and thousands of images do you go back and revisit and cherish? Portraits are about quality. NOT quantity. And they only become more valuable to us as time goes on. Babies grow up and children move out of our home. Grandparents and parents and even spouses pass away.
Our most special memories are worthy of being printed, to be manifested in a physical way in order to be enjoyed (without electricity) in our hands or on our walls. They bring us back to moments that are long gone that hold a special place in our hearts.
You deserve to have printed photographs of your family that are not only beautiful but also stand the test of time: albums with durable leather covers and thick pages that can endure sweet little fingers paging through them, framed fine art prints with UV-resistant glass to protect your artwork from fading, sturdy portfolio boxes crafted of sustainable American walnut . . . quality craftsmanship that you will love for generations.
For years I have searched for the most timeless, beautiful and luxurious ways to help clients tell their stories. Here it the ultimate guide to decorating your home with portraits!
