Jazmine & Nate | Just Because I Love You Session | Hampton Roads Portrait Photographer

Hi!

 

Jazmine and Nate are one of the many military couples I have had the pleasure of working with; however, their story is a little bit different.

 

Nate is actually living out of the country at the moment and has been for almost TWO YEARS now. Yep, you read that right: TWO YEARS. He does get to come home once per year and fortunately she has been able to go visit him twice, as well. But seriously: 4 visits in TWO YEARS?! Oh goodness I am just in awe of their strength and love and determination and awesome relationship.

 

So, of course, when Jazmine contacted me to do an "I love you" session for one of his trips home I JUMPED at the chance! AND she wanted to shoot in the oh-so-gorgeous Williamsburg, too: I was in heaven!

 

Even more awesome? I got a pretty neat friend out of it, too (Jazmine's sense of humor is just as witty and mildly inappropriate as mine is)!

 

 



 

I am so happy to have met you both and am really excited for you that Nate will be home in the coming days! I wish you both ALL the best at your next location and hope to cross paths again one day!

 

XO,

Sarah

Beyond The Print | Gallery Wrap Canvases | Hampton Roads Portrait Photographer

Hi!

 

Today I am going to show you all something I bet you already have in your house somewhere (and if not you've been dreaming about getting them for a while now):

 

Canvases!

 

Gallery wrap canvases to be exact.

 

Gallery wrap canvases are the kind where the image is printed on to the canvas material and then the material is wrapped completely around the frame; creating a beautiful way to display your images in your home.

 

(see how it wraps completely around?)

 

Some people like BIG canvases to create focus pieces in their living room and others enjoy creating collages out of them to help tell stories about the session or their family.

 

Regardless of which way you enjoy canvas prints I have yet to find someone who does NOT like them once they see them!

 

One of the BEST parts about the gallery wrap canvases that I offer (besides, of course, their awesome quality and beautiful colors)? They come completely ready to hang in your home!

 

 

How great is that? No hassle, no fuss, just a nail and hammer and you're good to go!

And an added gem (and one of the reasons I love ordering these through my lab) is that they come completely closed up in the back. This is a unique feature as it provides an added layer of protection to the canvas. Having the backing makes it a lot more difficult for folks to accidentally damage or puncture the canvas portion during moves or when hanging it in your home. A lot of companies do not provide this feature so I am happy to be able to offer this little added layer of protection to your beautiful images :)

 

 

And, of course, I love these so much I can't help but have them all over my own house -- including a trio grouping in my bedroom :)

 

I'm dying to know: are you a focal piece canvas person or a collage? Or maybe you love trios like I do?! Tell me in the comments below!

XO,

Sarah
