now THIS is what I love to see…

Posted under Family, Photoblog

My work being displayed as ART in someones home.

Not only does it feel wonderful to walk and see it right there, beautifully displayed in a gorgeous home… but this is why I love doing what I do.

I created this canvas montage for Dana & Alex this past winter… if I remember, it’s 20×24 sized (fine art canvas from my collection)…. and when I was able to finally see it in person… it just fit perfectly in their home.

I don’t aspire to be the regular photographer.. the mall studio kinda gal, just snapping away with my camera… I wanna create art for my clients. Something they are proud to showcase in their home, and will forever be a family heirloom, piece of ART!  This, this is why I love photography…..

My photography dreams and goals are to create artwork for my clients.. something beautiful for them to hang on their walls.
I do not want to be the photographer who does mere “snapshots” of their babys first year and beyond, that place and those photos belong to chain studios.

I want to give my clients art, something more, something to be proud of in their home and showcase to their family for years to come.

Hey, I can’t help it… it’s the artist that’s always thrived in me.  My grandfather showcased his love for art by owning art galleries in the Chi Suburbs (and a  predominate furniture store where he also showcased his art collection), and my mother is a true artist in all aspects of the word (writing, drawing, sewing, etc).

It just so happens… I LOVE babies, and bellies…nature…. and photography in a whole.  This is just my way of utilizing the gift of art that I have been given, and sharing it with my clients.

Thanks Dana & Alex… this made my day :)
