Many of our clients fall in love with all or most of their portraits. We hear it over and over again as a family photographer working with our fabulous clients across the Northern Virginia area, including Lansdowne, VA and Sterling, VA. We’re humbled and thrilled each time we know a client is so excited by our portraits! However, we realize that putting all of your portraits on display across your walls might not be the most practical thing to do. When you love more images than you can display on the walls of your home, our lovely Portrait Boxes make a a wonderful addition to your wall art purchase!
What is a Portrait Box?
A Portrait Box is a way for your family to tell more of its beautiful story through your photography studio portraits. You can order one or more of our high-quality boxes to store extra double-sided professional prints. The boxes have a magnetic closure. All of our Portrait Boxes are made of a high-quality and very sturdy, wood construction. They’re designed to last a lifetime if properly maintained and kept out of direct sunlight.
How do you use a Portrait Box?
The well-made box will have one of your selected portraits on its cover, and inside you can store your other sturdy, styrene-mounted photos from your session. What better way to continue to share your family’s story than through more of your lovely portraits?
You can leave your additional images in the protective, but decorative box. You also can display the images by rotating them on an easel beside the box. (more…)

Protecting your precious portraits for generations to come is as important as selecting the best family photographer in the Lansdowne, VA area! Our years of valuable experience have taught us the importance of protecting your family portraits in various ways. This can include framing and the use of museum-quality glass. Keep in mind, though, that even the highest-quality printing of fine art family photos like we offer can’t fully protect from exposure to UV rays. Nothing can. However, there are ways to lessen the effects of UV rays. Museum quality glass is one way to do this.
What does museum-quality glass do?
If you place a family photo behind any standard framing glass, the glass will block about 40 percent of UV radiation. Ask any preservationist, museum or gallery owners or artists and photographers and they will tell you that it’s simply not enough.
According to Glass Magazine, an industry journal, ultraviolet light accounts for approximately 50 percent of fading damage in artwork or photography, and there is no reversing the fading process once it’s occurred. As a result, the glass industry developed glass UV-blocking film for framing glass to better protect valuable art and photography. Museum-quality glass blocks about 98 to 99 percent of UV rays.
While any piece of glass or acrylic will protect a framed picture from casual physical damage, only museum-quality glass can provide the best possible, long-term protection for your cherished framed portraits.
Museum-quality glass protects art not just from fading from UV rays, but from becoming brittle. It also reduces glare when artwork is viewed from different angles and minimizes the mirror-like effect of typical glass, thus improving the intensity of colors and details.
Costs
Museum-quality glass does cost more than regular picture glass. Prices vary greatly depending on size. (more…)

Outdoor Portrait Park Studio
We recently had the opportunity to work with a truly special family with an extraordinary and exceptional bond. It was an honor and privilege to capture the Tauch Family’s loving relationship. Both Kim and her husband Eric serve in the U.S. military, and their beautiful family was formed through adoption. We know how special and strong the bonds in military families are, and the Tauch Family are no exception. With two parents serving in the military, two active and adorable little girls (and one dog), this family is very active and loves the outdoors. Despite their busy lives, Kim knew the time had come to capture their family’s loving bond and their adorable daughters in family portraits. (more…)
