For years, I’ve been a photographer who just provides digital images and (occasionally) a handful of prints to my {amazing} clients. I was contributing to a phenomenon and wasn’t even entirely aware of it.

Let’s face the facts.  I, like so many of my clients, can be a digital picture hoarder.  Did you know that was a thing?  It’s not a bad thing, by any means.  I have THOUSANDS of pictures on my phone (12,509 as of this minute).  Yes, that’s a lot of images. No, they are not organized.  Yes, it is overwhelming to go through and delete and organize. And truth is, it’s at the bottom of my list of things to do as a working Momma.  And what about our computers?!  We have so many digital files stored on there too, along with the cloud, external hard drives, thumb drives, and even CD’s.  You get the point.  What I’ve realized personally and professionally, is that this is not a bad thing. But I do not want my computer to be the final resting place for my images.  I really believe that our favorite images of our families should live on our walls to be seen DAILY. Loud and Proud. Front and Center.  On good days, and the not-so-good-days, our family’s portraits can inspire us, offering us a reminder of why we do what we do.  When we wonder if we are doing enough,  those images can encourage us. They can reminding us of the love we have between us.  That our children see us and love us despite our shortcomings, as we do them.  The portraits remind us how the years go by fast- even though the days can  f e e l. so. l o n g.  Seeing our images daily have the power to allow us to reminisce, yet also embrace our present.

We know we want to hang our family portraits on the wall.  Photoshoot after photoshoot, we say we will do it. We’ll print our favorites.  But how do we choose?  How in the world do we narrow it down?  Which images do I display?  What room?  Do I want a collage?  And what kind of product?  Do I want a wood print? Metallic? Canvas?  Rustic frame prints?  What sizes do I choose?  How many? What will look good together?  Where do I even purchase these products?  What about my budget?

I’m feeling overwhelmed just typing out these questions.  But good news is, getting your family’s pictures on the wall does not have to be daunting.  That’s where I come in.

I now offer my clients a FULL EXPERIENCE. I not only want to help you prepare for your photoshoot: helping you plan your wardrobe and locations. But I want to know who you are, who your kids are, the little personalities you want me to capture.  Because I’m thinking with the end in mind…getting you images you will treasure for YEARS to come.  After revealing your images to you, I sit along side you and help you narrow down where and what fine art prints you want to display in your homes. I have searched high-and-low to find the best of the best for my clients.  All of the artisans I work are very skilled at what they do, and do it all by hand (with heart).  I promise, you will not be disappointed in these luxurious, one of a kind products.  We offer Reclaimed Wood Prints, Fine Art Prints (with handmade barnwood frames), Museum-quality canvases, and Heirloom Albums.  And get this, there is a lifetime guarantee on the prints, canvases and albums, so if your prints should yellow or fade, or your album pages warp (which will never happen), we will replace it.

What are your thoughts?  Do you like the idea of having images of your family hanging throughout your house?  Have you printed all the images you’ve wanted to, the way you have wanted? What’s been holding you back?  Time?  Energy?  I’d love to hear from you!  And please let me know how I can help you cross one of the best things off of your to-do list.

All the best,

Stefanie
