Mesmerizing Moments Photography » Custom Photography for today’s families! Haymarket VA

I think life is beautiful and fun!  And, I’m sure you do too, so why not exude that feeling in your home with your custom photography?

I encourage you to take a minute and view the walls in your home.  Can you find anything else that makes you as happy as your family photos?

The pictures I create for you are art, and with them you can create a display that is unique, something that will stun your family and friends.  Art, that will give you a warm smile each and every time you pass by it!

Naturally, being a photographer, I have quite a few photos around my home, so I thought I would share some.  I hope these can inspire you to decorate with your life!

So, here’s my family room wall that I have been so excited to finish, you probably even heard me talking about recently, haha.  I am so in love with it, it’s not even funny!   The larger gallery wrap is a 30×22, and the smaller one is a 16×24, then the mix and match frames are from Pottery Barn, all sized for prints 8×10 and 5×7.  I just got all the frames and canvases ready, and played around with them on the ground until I liked it.  Then measured it all out and started hanging. Super easy, and the best thing about doing it that way is no two displays will be alike!

This is the canvas of Connor that hangs in our living room, it’s about size 24×36, a tad bigger I think actually.  One of the most fabulous things about ordering a canvas, is that you can literally get any size you want!  And, they come ready to hang, no framing needed.

This is the stairwell from our entry level up. I just got a bunch of plain matching frames from Micheals in all different sizes, and took them all the way up the stairwell.  Sometimes it’s fun to actually have your frames touching, because it’s un-expected.  It’s a big wow factor, I only wish I could photograph it better! haha

A great way to personalize your kids’ rooms is to make a small grouping of portraits from the same session.  You can match their outfits to their room before the session, or if that doesn’t interest you, you can just match the frames and use black and white photos.  The possibilities really are endless  These are all 8×10’s and are hung above his closet doors.

This is actually a sample canvas in my office.  I have this one to show you that you can do anything you want on canvas.  If you like the look of a framed out print, but love the gallery wraps also, just combine them!  It’s so simple and will truly be a piece of art that you’ll be 100% happy with!  This is an 18×24.

Another unique way to display the photos that are near and dear to your heart is actually very simple.  Just get your portraits printed on matboard and set them in a beautiful easel.  This is one of my all time favorite photos of Sniggs, (from when he was 10 months old) and it sits on my night stand in a basic black easel.  The black and white really makes it match my room, and stand out against the blue walls.  This one is a 16×16.

I actually learned a few things by doing this too!  Number 1, I am NOT, and never could be, an architectural photographer! haha  I truly am bad at it!  Number 2, I really really need to re-paint that red wall, when the flashes hit it all the streaks came out.  Number 3, I desperately need to invest in that glare free glass, or just take the glass out and re-print my smaller prints on matboard like the larger ones!  That is how my shabby chic custom framing comes. I always knew why, but now I really “KNOW” why!

In case you didn’t know, I help my clients from start to finish!  So, if you need help making your photos art, just let me know.  From choosing the outfits to making a display, I’m there

I hope you learned something new or were at least inspired to use your photos as art.  Have a great day!

I found the cutest ever crochet website!  I have no idea how I have never heard of her before!  Her company is called Sweet Yarn, and the site is all decked out in the cutest way!  You get to pick your serving, then pick a flavor, and add toppings and everything – too cute!  You have to go check it out, I am working on an order right now, cannot wait to put it in and get my goodies

I am obsessed with the pics I just did of Sniggs yesterday. I haven’t even put up our family pics yet, and I am already deciding where these ones will go! Good thing we have a lot of space

“These streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you, hear it for New York”  I really love this song. When it comes through on my truck speakers it makes me sing at the top of my lungs and tempts me to turn the car and head straight for NYC!

Sniggs fell asleep in his rain boots the other day. It was bound to happen, he wears them every second he can, and is totally in love with them.  He was standing in the living room, and just folded in half over the chaise and crashed. haha
