Something I'll never forget! Several years ago a mom came in and purchased a large wall portrait of her children, and yes, it was a substantial purchase. My dad told her that day that this will be displayed on her wall for the rest of her life and it is a priceless work of art of her children. Some years later, she came back into the studio for something. In conversation, my dad offered to give her money back for that portrait if he could have it to display at the studio. She said she could never part with the portrait of her children because that was HER art.
Yes, portraits are expensive, so are iPhones, clothes, food, vacations, and hobbies. Out of everything listed, the only thing that lasts a lifetime is a portrait. A portrait represents your heart and soul that will be on display for a lifetime in your home.
When selecting a portrait for your home of your children or family it is an investment that will only grow in emotional value as time goes by. A portrait stops time, a time that will replay in your heart for the rest of your life. Investing in a wall portrait isn't for everyone but the ones that make that investment see it as an investment into their family's legacy.
So, money isn't everything when it comes down to it, but the investment into your family's story and legacy is everything!
