Last week we hung three beautiful portraits in this family’s new home.  The portraits were of their three awesome children.  Mom wanted to do something special for her husband.  They have a beautiful new home and had three rooms that were not complete.  The rooms were the formal living room, formal dining room and their family room.  They have the rooms furnished  but the walls were bare.  She wanted the wall decor to be as special as this home is.  She met with me for the consult and brought pictures of the rooms.  I have photographed this beautiful family for years so I knew this would be an incredible project.

I created two portraits and a collage panel and framed them to compliment the rooms.  The end result exceeded my exectations.  Once I had the portraits hanging I challenged them and now I challenge you…                1) What could you invest in that would complete your home better?            2)  What would appreciate more than portraits of your family and children?

Often clients tell me that they have always dreamed of having me create a beautiful portrait of their family for their home.  However, many of you for whatever reason procrastinate on following through with your plans.  Most use the excuse that they simply can not afford it.  I find it interesting that every person’s home I enter that says they can not afford my portraits have at least one or more pieces of furniture in their home that costs more than my most expensive portrait.  Furniture that is often replaced as styles and tastes change.

Those of you that have invested in one of my portraits of your family tell me over and over that if your home caught on fire tonight the second thing you would get out of your home, if you could, after your family would be your portraits.  Not one of you have told me that you would risk your safety to get your sofa, dining room suit, flat screen TV, etc. etc. out of your home - it is your portraits that are so special to you that you would risk injury to get them out.  Several years ago when most of this area was evacuated due to what was believed to be a direct hit by a hurricane - we had difficulty answering your phone calls wanting reassurance that we had your negatives on file and could recreate your portraits in case your home was destroyed.  That was a powerful reality check to the value of your portraits that I have created for you over the past 20 years.

That is a wonderful compliment to me - but more importantly it should be confirmation to each of you - to the value of portraits in documenting artistically your family’s legacy.

This month we have launched our NO EXCUSES portrait campaign.  Please take this opportunity to allow me to create that portrait you have always dreamed of.  No matter what your excuse - give me a chance to try to work with you to overcome it.
