hallway frame inspiration {santa barbara family photographer}

Whitney — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 21:47:15 +0000

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared frame inspiration via blog post so I thought I’d do that today. I’m always perusing magazines and catalogs to inspire myself so that I can inspire my clients :)

This was found at www.milieudesigngroup.com and I just love it! Not very many of my California clients have upstairs landings (Earthquakes, people!) in their homes but this is a look that could be copied onto a large living room wall or even a long hallway!

Until next time!

As I was scanning along DecorPad, I saw this image and just had to blog it! I love all the different contrasting frames, and of course, the Christmas tree in the background :)

I haven’t posted frame inspiration in awhile so I thought I would share some today. Of course, this image below is from one of my favorite websites, DecorPad! I love, love, love all the white. I am obsessed with black and white. Our wedding was black and white, all my business logo/materials are black and white…just love it! :)

don’t you just love it?! black and white photographs of your family in white frames with large white mats would be stunning in a hallway, or bedroom, or really, anywhere!

The ins and outs of custom photography {santa barbara family photographer}

Whitney — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 21:49:45 +0000

As y’all know, I am a huge fan of NAPCP. Out of all the different memberships that I hold, NAPCP is truly one of my favorites. There’s something to be said about a warm, caring community of like-minded professionals who can share ideas and gain support. I also love that NAPCP has a blog just for parents. A few days ago, talented friend and photographer Claire Smith posted this awesome post on just what exactly goes into custom photography. Be sure to hop on over to their blog to check it out. While you’re over there, be sure to scroll down through the blog…there’s several great posts on photography and decor and well, life in general :) Happy Hump Day!

Holiday Cards and Cheer! {santa barbara family photographer}

Whitney — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 02:46:17 +0000

I know you’re thinking, “no way! it’s only September!” But you know how this time of year is…once October rolls around the next two months will fly right by us which is why I am reminding all my clients on the blog (and via email!) about Holiday Cards! If you’ve signed up for my newsletter, then you’ll so be in-the-know next week! The image below is just one of the many cards that I am offering this year so you don’t want to miss out!

I will also be offering photographic petite sessions for those who just need updated family photographs and images for holiday cards and holiday gifts! Be on the lookout for blog post soon with details :)

i heart restoration hardware! {santa barbara family photographer}

Whitney — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 20:41:36 +0000

I mean, who doesn’t love Restoration Hardware? They sent their delicious catalog to me last week and it was all I could to keep myself from jumping in the car and driving down to their store (yes, I have one nearby…so lucky, and yet, so dangerous!).

I wanted to share this scanned image because I love shelving and I love frames…such a different feel than just hanging frames upon the wall, but also a great space saver for those with little wall space!

Happy Thursday!

As you all know, I love receiving catalogs, especially as the seasons change. It’s fun to see what new ideas all my favorites stores have in mind and I love this image from Pottery Barn. This display is perfect for random little hallways in your home that are between rooms or for the foyer!

Happy Thursday!

Happy Monday! I thought I’d brighten up the Monday blues with some frame/decor inspiration from Real Simple magazine. I love this look…modern and classic, yet different and simple!

home office decor inspiration {santa barbara family photographer}

Whitney — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 18:53:44 +0000

Happy Monday everyone! This past weekend I was perusing through Decor Pad again (shocking, I know!) and I came across this lovely home office. Not only do I love the colors of the room, but I love, love, love the huge black frames with gorgeous matted black and white prints. As I always say, don’t be afraid to go big! It’s dramatic!

fun frame locations {santa barbara family photographer}

Happy Thursday everyone! I was browsing my favorite website this morning and came across this fun image on DecorPad. I love how the landing on this stairway has been dressed up and dramatic, yet not cluttered. Some people are scared to try new things, especially on stairways, because what if it looks odd or has been measured wrong and the images are of out of line? If you purchase a premium session with Whitney Elizabeth Portraiture, you don’t have to worry about that because we measure and hang your family artwork for you…takes all the guesswork and well, work, out of it! ;)

Isn’t this pretty!?
