Family is Art

With Valentine's Day weeks away it's a good time to start thinking of heart-felt gifts. Naturally, being a photographer, my go-to gift is a family photo - though I am very happy to receive chocolate and flowers, hint hint. 

Buying a ready-made frame is an easy way to make your photo look great. I enjoy looking for new ways to adorn those precious moments for that special gift. Over the years I have begged my children to decorate photo frames and mats for a more creative, personalized gift for grandparents, aunts and uncles. Now that they are "too busy" to indulge me in an hour of arts and crafts I have found other creative ways to create meaningful gifts for loved ones.
My home office is surrounded by the things I love and years of cherished memories. I am going through some client photos now for some Valentine's Day gift inspiration.

Custom Frames

I LOVE this custom silver frame from Images of Greenwich! I framed three photos of our children and gave them to my husband for Father's Day. We had them hanging on our walls and now I have them around my office.

Marco, at Images, is amazing and showed me other fun frames for portraits. Acrylic frames in red, white, blue and more are all on my list to try. We need more walls!

Acrylic Frames

This year I am giving our family acrylic frames for Valentine's Day. I found these beautiful reversible magnetic frames at Abigail Fox in Old Greenwich. I added a quote that sums up our family for a little variety in our photo displays. 

For the children's gifts I will select my favorite photo of them and add a motivational quote on the back.

Custom Acrylic Blocks and Image Cubes

I really love the below Acrylic blocks and photo cubes that my printer can create. I'm going through some photos now to see which ones to use for the next set of gifts. Stay tuned.
