Portraits, made to live with.

The people you love, made part of the home you share. Begin with a styled studio session, then choose the photographs and pieces that feel right for your life.

The portrait session

It begins with you.

A family together. The anticipation of a new chapter. The companion who is part of every day. Your portrait begins with who belongs in the frame and what you want to remember about this moment.

Your portrait session · $500

A styled studio session, professional direction, and an in-person projected reveal of your portraits.

We talk through the feeling, clothing, and groupings you have in mind. In the studio, we guide the light, positioning, and expression, so you can focus on being there together.

Artwork is purchased separately at your reveal.

A place in your life.

Four ways to keep your favorite portraits close.

Start with how you want to enjoy the photographs. One piece can give a room its focus; a collection can keep the smaller connections together. Explore the formats, then let your favorite images guide the choice.

Hand-Finished Wall Art

A favorite portrait, finished by hand and framed for your home.

Let one expression hold a room, or bring several portraits together as a collection. Think about the wall, the furniture beneath it, and the colors already around you. We can talk through scale and framing with the space you have in mind.

For a favorite wall or a collection of family connections.

Heirloom Albums

Your story in an Allure album, with a matching presentation box and a portrait inside the lid.

An album gives several photographs room to belong together: the whole family, a quieter embrace, a small expression you do not want to forget. It is a way to keep the variety of your session in one piece you can hold and revisit.

For the moments that tell more when seen together.

Image Boxes

A window image box of matted portraits, with a clear lid that puts a favorite on display.

Keep a selection together while enjoying each portrait as an individual piece. The visible top photograph makes the box part of the room, while the portraits inside give you more to return to. Consider it for a shelf, sideboard, or personal corner of your home.

For a collection you can hold, open, and enjoy individually.

Fine-Art Prints & Folios

Matted portraits for smaller spaces and meaningful gifts.

A portrait can feel personal without taking over a wall. Think of a desk, a bedside table, or a place a loved one sees every day. Prints and folios make room for a favorite expression, a portrait of the grandchildren, or the companion always beside you.

For smaller spaces and the people you want to share them with.

Most clients invest $1,200 to $2,500 in artwork.

No minimum order. Choose what you love at your reveal.

Your choices of format, size, and the number of pieces shape the artwork you select. We can talk through your priorities before the session and again at your reveal.

The projected reveal

The moment it becomes yours.

Choosing is part of the experience. See the photographs, notice what moves you, and imagine the pieces you will live with. We are there to help you consider the options.

  1. See your photographs together.

    Your session includes an in-person projected reveal. Seeing the portraits together gives you room to notice expressions, compare your favorites, and think about which photographs you would enjoy seeing every day.

  2. Choose the way you will enjoy them.

    Start with the images you love, then consider how they work as a wall portrait, a collection, an album, or individual matted prints. We help connect the photograph to the piece and the place you have in mind.

  3. Build an order that feels right.

    Artwork is selected and purchased at your reveal. Talk through the products and your priorities as you decide. With no minimum order, the choice begins with the portraits you want to keep.

Made to be part of
your every day.

Art that belongs to your story. And in your home.

Begin with a place
you already love.

You do not need a finished design plan. A few details about your home can help us talk about scale, color, and the way your portraits might belong there.

The place

Take a photograph of the whole wall, including the sofa, console, or other furniture nearby. Approximate wall dimensions help give that photograph context. A hallway, a bedroom, or a small corner can be just as meaningful as a statement wall.

The feeling

Notice the colors, materials, and mood of the room. A soft maternity portrait, a formal family group, and a pet portrait full of character each bring something different. Share what you respond to so the artwork feels connected to your home.

The story

Think about whether one photograph says everything or several relationships belong together. A family group can sit alongside individual connections. An album or image box can hold a wider selection when you want to keep more of the session close.

A few details before we begin.

What does the session fee include?

Your portrait session · $500. A styled studio session, professional direction, and an in-person projected reveal of your portraits. Before your visit, we talk through the people, styling, and portrait ideas you would like to explore.

Are artwork and prints included in the session fee?

Artwork is purchased separately at your reveal. The session and artwork are separate parts of the experience, so you can see your photographs before deciding which pieces you want for your home.

How much should I plan to invest in artwork?

Most clients invest $1,200 to $2,500 in artwork. No minimum order. Choose what you love at your reveal. That range describes typical artwork spending, rather than a product starting price or a required package. Share your priorities with us as you plan.

When will I choose my photographs and products?

You choose at your in-person projected reveal. We look through the portraits together and discuss how your favorites could work as wall art, an album, an image box, or fine-art prints. Your studio will explain the arrangements for your reveal.

Do I need to know the artwork size before my session?

You can begin with an idea. A photograph of the room and approximate wall dimensions are helpful starting points. We can discuss the space and your preferred style, then consider the portraits and formats together at your reveal.

What if I do not have a large wall?

Smaller spaces can still hold a portrait that matters. Consider a matted print for a personal corner, an image box for a collection, or an album you can keep close. The way you want to enjoy the photographs is a useful place to start.

Can I explore more than one kind of artwork?

Yes. You can consider a favorite photograph for the wall and a wider selection for an album, image box, or prints. We can talk through how the pieces work together and which options fit the portraits you love.

What should I bring to the planning conversation?

Share a few portrait references, tell us who you would like photographed, and bring any ideas for where the artwork might live. Room photographs, approximate dimensions, favorite colors, and your priorities for the investment help give the conversation direction.

Let’s begin with you.

Tell us who you love, what you want to remember, and the artwork you have in mind.
