FILL YOUR HOME WITH BEAUTIFUL IMAGES
Research shows there are significant benefits to hanging photographs of your children on the wall
Seeing their photograph in a prominent location helps children to understand their place in the family and to feel loved and valued. It's such a simple thing we can do as parents, and it has long-lasting benefits for our children.
Independent research by Geoff Beattie and David Krauss, both respected leaders in psychology, demonstrated that seeing themselves in a family photograph is a vital part of socialising and creating a child's positive self-image.
Display Your Way
Most of my clients purchase wall art, a portrait box or an album to display their images
How you display your family photographs is a very personal decision, and I have many beautiful options for you. From simple to highly ornate, we can find something that suits you, your family and your home.
I believe that photographs should be on display in your home and the benefits to children are well documented. However, finding the time to organise this yourself can be difficult. I streamline the process by combining your viewing appointment with a design appointment where you will have the time and space to make some decisions about how you would like to display your images, and then I will take care of all of the organisation.
I have spent years building and refining my range of display options based on the things that I love, are popular with my clients, and are unique and not easily available elsewhere. I want you to have products that will bring you joy when you see them and spark conversation and admiration from your friends and family.
Framed Wall Art
Choose from our range of wall art options to suit your home and personal style. Our frames are made bespoke using archival quality fine art paper, the highest grade of glass and a master framer with decades of experience.
Classic
My classic frame is available in 4 colours: white, black, rimu wood stain, and mocha wood stain. The frame moulding is made here in Aotearoa, and the frames are crafted by local artisans. I love to support and buy locally wherever possible, and we have many beautiful options.
Ornate
An ornate frame can transform your chosen image into a truly beautiful heirloom that will be treasured by generations to come.
Select the perfect frame for your home as a stand-alone piece or part of a gallery wall.
Something Else?
You are not restricted to the options we have showcased in the studio; we can find or match many other frame options. Just ask during your design appointment.
Story Frames
Without a doubt, these are our most popular wall art pieces.
Story Frames are the perfect way to display a range of images and tell your family's story.
Available as a tryptic, quad or the ever-popular nine-image story. We will work together to craft the perfect option for you.
Your Story Frame is guaranteed to be a talking point and a piece of art that will make you smile whenever you see it.
Portrait Box
My innovative Portrait Boxes allow you to safely store your collection of images in a beautiful box that becomes a tabletop display frame. The image on show can be changed at will, giving you the opportunity to enjoy all of your portraits throughout the year. Each box is hand-made in Italy by skilled craftsmen. My boxes are popular with families who have limited wall space.

Showcase
