THE IMPORTANCE OF DISPLAYING FAMILY PORTRAITS

"If you want to change the world, go home and love your family."- Mother Teresa

I am passionate about family portraits because I truly believe they can change the world.  The mental health of our youth is under attack due to the impermanence of social media. Our kids are trying to feel seen in a social media world that is intended for short term reaction.  Having family portraits in the home is one of the best antidotes to being a teen these days. I feel when kids walk in their homes and see a beautifully displayed portrait of themselves it saturates their subconscious with the message that they are loved and their presence matters. Creating a home environment that makes our children feel safe, loved and valued is noble and essential. A house isn't a home until it can reflect the love that grows inside.  The love we have for our families takes up the biggest part of our heart and needs to be celebrated on our walls for everyone to enjoy.

Why Family Portraits Matter To Me

 I have been creating family heirlooms for over 25 years and I'm more passionate about family portraits today than ever before.  The oldest of my 3 children has headed off to college and I couldn't be more proud of him.  But all of a sudden the portraits I have of my kids are a thousand times more valuable  The reality has come where instead of waking up and being surrounded by my kids, the portraits hanging on my walls are the faces that greet me.  I am so thankful I took the time to capture their sweet faces even when I was overwhelmed with the everyday life of raising them.  I can never go back, and truth be told I don't want to.  I want to see where their wings take them, I want to see them change the world and find purpose.  But I treasure the portraits on my wall that remind me of the journey it was to raise my family.
