Go BIG!

Why go big you ask? Why NOT go big I say. I have always loved BIG pictures, the bigger the better. When you hang that 20x24, or 16x20 canvas for the first time, you realize, its more like art work than a snapshot. So here is my guide for you, on how you too can go big. It is my goal here soon to have product guides for you to take home after your session, especially for those who opt to proof from home, rather than proof in studio with me. Hopefully it will help guide you through making the best choices for you, and what will look best in your home. Martha Stewart (yeah I know) says never to hang anything smaller than a 16x20 on your wall...really! I know it sounds HUGE, and some of you will say, but I dont have the room. You really do, its just dependant on what youre willing to hang on your walls, portraits of your family or child, or a cool print you liked at Bed Bath and Beyond :D For anyone who has ever been to my apartment, knows that I live in a very small apartment....I dont have a lot of room for anything, BUT you better believe I have a 20x24 of me and the boys hanging up :)

Some tips...and I have included pictures for those who are visual. I LOVE Canvas Wraps. If I could decorate my home completely of Canvas wraps I would, although I think its best to keep it simple with a few really stunning pieces, it makes them that much more special. I love canvas wraps so much, I hug mine...some of you can attest to this,LOL. Canvas Wraps are great because they come ready to hang, no need to frame, they are literally like art work.

The next best thing are Canvas on Stretcher. If you love the look of canvas, but cant afford the investment, there are canvas mounted to stretcher frame. These I do recommend framing, but the texture is beautiful, the above example is actually metallic canvas ,VERY COOL.

The hot item right now are Standouts. My customers love these, because they still have that boxy look, with the professional looking trim (white or black) but they are very light weight, a little more affordable and still look beautiful on the wall and BONUS, no need to frame. They look great by themselves or I also offer them in an 8x12 trio for a nice little grouping, especially if you have a hard time making up your mind (like me :D)

Last but not least, collages. Again, if you have a hard time choosing like me, why not order a collage or storyboard. The 10x20s are fun, they come mounted, so really you can sit them on a shelf, hang them by ribbon, or prop them up on an easel.

I do offer framing by the way. Stop in with your order and I will walk you through your frame choices. Have fun with it guys, and remember Go BIG! :D
