Selecting artwork from your portrait session | Where do I Start?

Scheduling professional portraits is your first step towards a home filled with custom artwork and memories to last generations. When working with me, you receive a full-service client experience from wardrobe planning, animal preparation guidance, and posing to interior design. 

Imagine this, you have professional portraits created with your horses, dogs, and loved ones, and you receive a gallery full of portraits but have no idea where to start. Don’t worry, I will be here every single step of the way including creating the artwork you plan to display your beautiful portraits on, whether that is a beautiful custom canvas for your walls or an heirloom quality album.

When working with me, your portraits are beautiful pieces of art waiting to be displayed in your home. That is why I offer digital interior design to each and every one of my clients when planning out what they would like to do with their portraits. This means you can send me a photo of the walls you would like to display your portraits on and I can virtually display what each portrait will look like displayed in your home, to scale. There is nothing worse than purchasing a piece of art as a focal point for your dining room and realizing it is far too small and the colors most certainly do not go with the other décor! While there are a variety of smaller options available, today I want to highlight the two most popular options my clients choose for their portraits: Museum Canvas and Heirloom albums

Museum Canvas

A coveted favorite when it comes to the artwork I provide to my clients by far is my custom canvas. These museum-quality, handmade canvases are unlike any other canvases you have seen or felt before. They’re so thick and durable that you can even clean them with Windex or water! Each canvas comes stretched tight as a drumhead with hand-painted clear acrylic brush stroking, a certificate of authenticity, and a canvas crate for safe traveling. The difference you can see and feel; truly a one-of-a-kind, handmade art piece!

Heirloom Albums

If you are the type of person who prefers displaying your portraits within an album, I can assure you that I have the perfect one for you! Leading up to your portraits, we will plan not only the location and wardrobe but also chat about what you are hoping to create with your portraits. For example, if you are hoping to create an album, I will ensure that I take a few more detailed portraits of eyes, ears, and the thing that makes your horse or dog unique to tell a full story from start to finish.

The acrylic photo covers on our heirloom albums invite the viewer to take a peek inside and allow you to enjoy your portraits, even when closed.

If both options sound absolutely wonderful, that’s great! I am here each and every step through the sorting process all the way to the design work at the end. Most of my clients enjoy pairing wall art with an heirloom album to complete their home. If you are unfamiliar with creating artwork out of portraits created with your furry family, don’t worry, working with Charlotte Detienne Photography guarantees a full understanding and pain-free creation of artwork from the day of shooting to delivery day!
