Installation Day

May has come and gone in a hurry.  We moved into our new house, which in itself is crazy, and now I find myself on Monday of the last week of school.  Things have been quiet on the blog and my facebook page as I’ve been distracted getting my family moved and settled into our new digs.   I’m still in the studio by appointment only and have lots of great family portrait sessions to share.

In this digital, instant gratification age, I think it’s easy to loose sight of how important and beautiful the printed picture is.  I was delivering and installing an amazing 16×20 acrylic standout mount to a client today and I snapped a few pictures with my phone a #bts (behind the scenes) type of thing.  A 16×20 isn’t a huge print, but it’s just enough to make a serious statement in the room.   This gorgeous custom family portrait belongs to Rachel (below with the hammer), she is the “Ross” of “Ross + Fein Design“.  A small boutique interior design firm here in South Florida.  This team is also known as the Girls Next Decor.  You can get a tiny glimpse of Rachel’s house below, the home is stunning.  Warm, inviting, beautiful…and the acrylic standout mount that Rachel chose for her family portrait is the perfect addition to her modern decor.  It’s portrait art.  And I’m an artist.  The beauty of the finished final product should match or exceed the beauty of the portrait.  A digital file can’t give you that warm fuzzy feeling each time you walk into a room, and that’s why digital files aren’t my focus.  Never have been and never will.  Thank you Rachel for trusting my vision, I’m honored and flattered that this piece will hang in your gorgeous new home for years to come.

Looking for some design inspiration in your home?  Hit these girls up.  They won’t disappoint.

FYI, Thursday is the last day of school.  The studio is officially on summer hours, which only means one thing….by appointment only.   Going to soak in the summer sun with my kiddos.

See you soon,
