It is the joy of my profession to be able to capture people and the story of their lives. I met Rita few years back when she was updating her business portraits. It was such a pleasure to photograph her again, this time with her teenage daughter Olivia. There's a beautiful bond between them that we captured for all time in timeless style!

Beautiful Inez called me looking for business portraits, but then opened up about the fact that she really wants to exist in photographs for her husband and two boys. We had such a wonderful Session and she blew me away with her beauty, both inside and out!

Seaside scenes, landscapes and abstract works all have their place, but nothing will ever be as meaningful and cherished as beautiful portraits of you and your family. Your portraits displayed proudly celebrate your family, fill the rooms with it's history and simply make you smile every single day you look at them. They add indescribable warmth and make your home truly Yours.
Today I want to share with you 3 of my favourite, creative ways of decorating with portraits that are easy, elegant and modern!
Gallery Wall
A Gallery Wall is such a creative way of displaying your portraits. It is always a big conversation-starter in our home. Sky is the limit here! You can mix different styles of frames to create a more eclectic look. To add a twist, I hanged the frames, but left the middle one leaning on the wall. You can add photographs to your wall as you create more memories and as your family grows!
Portrait Shelf
A Portrait Shelf gives you so much freedom - you can move your portraits around, try different combinations and easily add to it as you go!
3. Sideboard Portrait Display
This is a very traditional way of decorating. My tip to make it more contemporary is to not only use frames! Right here I mixed frames with beautiful bamboo blocks to add versatility and depth.
Few last tips:
Use mainly Black & White Photographs – they are timeless and will not create a messy look.
Use Matts – even a small photograph in a matt looks elegant and grand!
Choose Candid Photographs expressing emotion in addition to traditional portraits for Variety!
