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

Portait of My Home | Personal | Hampton Roads Portrait Photographer

Hi!

The other afternoon when I was home in the quiet, calm, anticipatory hours before my husband gets home from work I was struck by  how "lived in" our home looks. Granted, the majority of our walls are bare since I haven't quite figured out the whole decorating "thing" yet {sidebar: one time, after we had been in our house for about 15 months, a repair man asked if we "had just moved in"-- total fail} so I don't mean it has the lived in "homey" look but our house definitely looks like people are there. And almost always, if I'm being honest, it looks like we left in a hurry :p

We're not the most organized of folks, that's for sure, but we're not dirty. And the other day I was struck by the "lived-in-ness" of our space and felt this urge to capture it in its raw and real state.

This is definitely not my usual portrait format but I consider this a portrait of my home.

Even Charlie Dog leaves his things as if he left in a hurry....

I will leave you with this image. 

These cars are extremely important to me as every year my husband gets me one for our dating anniversary. 

When we first started dating back in college we were, simply put: poor; and for our first anniversary he wrote me a note explaining how one day we'll have enough money to take trips to Europe and go to day spas and buy expensive cars- but for now this will have to do: and sitting with the letter were my favorite flowers and my very first Hot Wheels car (an Aston Martin).

These cars will go with us wherever we go and are by far my most looked forward to and cherished gift every single year out of any holiday.

Best,
Sarah
