Mom and Dad's Favorite Work of Art

Image © Robert Harris Photography

What a delight to spend the morning creating portraits of these two siblings and their parents. Wanting to bring out the distinctive art in the home, we created a composition that would marry Mom and Dad's personal taste in art with their most prized personal art: their children. The colors within the portrait work in harmony but don't distract from the beautiful expressions of brother and sister. The detail of the art behind the children replicate the wonderful golden locks surrounding that priceless expression.

A New Beginning

In a previous post, we featured this beautiful image created in Grandfather's memorial garden just outside the window. It has now been beautifully framed and placed in a featured area of the home. Now, redecorating of the room will begin and designed around the framed painting. Hues of color from the portrait will be used to marry the room to the painting and existing art will be reframed to bring the entire room together once new window treatments, etc. are completed.

The Power of a Portrait

Hi Robert and Wanda...
The pictures you took of our family in our garden bring such loving memories to mind. Raymond truly knew how much these pictures would mean to us after he was gone.
I have had the one of Raymond with Katie and Jane on a "Remembrance Table" at St. Bridget Church during the month of November. Matthew, Thomas, and I thought that was the perfect picture to display since the true reason for the photos was for Katie and Jane to "remember Gray."

Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures. Our home is filled with ones we ordered last year and I smile lovingly every time I pass one.
