Fine Art Giclée Canvas Gallery Wrap for Sharon and Dennis - Los Angeles Maternity Photographer

Remember Sharon and Dennis, the expecting parents that I worked with on the maternity portraits?  Well, their baby princess has joined us.  But before I get on to  how sweet and beautiful she looks, I thought I'd finish some "old business".

Sharon and Dennis were exciting about the portraits that turned out and chose one of the maternity portraits to enlarge for the living room.  They have a nice house with contemporary decor.  Much as I expected, they liked the frame-less looks of pictures.  Upon presenting them with the different options, the picture was processed on a gallery wrap with Giclée prints.

OK, time out.  You might ask what a "fine art Giclée canvas gallery wrap" is.

It is a picture printed directly onto museum quality canvas material using high quality archival inks.  The canvas print is then wrapped around a stretcher frame so that the photo’s edges are visible on the sides of the frame.  Frames are available in 3/4, 1-1/2, and 2-1/2 -inch depths.  Given the size and the taste preference of the couple, we chose 3/4-inch frames for their gallery wrap.  Additionally, a lustre finishing spray is applied to protect the surface of the print.  Alternatively, glossy spray can be applied to taste as well.  With the appropriate (easy) care (e.g., no direct exposure to harsh sunlight, etc.), this beautiful wall art will last years and years.

As you'd see in the pictures below, the gallery wrap is finished with paper backing for a more finished look (Customers have the choice of no paper backing as well).  Hanging hardware was attached - in this case, a sawtooth.  So installation is a piece of cake.  At the bottom of the backing, bumpers were applied to provide room for air circulation.

Everything has been reminding me that fall is undeniably with us and yellow, red and brown will soon be the prevalent colors.  As my eyes moved near the bottom of the calendar, I know it's the spooky time of the year again.  So, it will only be fitting to "update" the color them of this website immediately.

The other day, I had a photo shoot at a pumpkin patch and loved, loved, loved the atmosphere and had fun.  The chill in the area helped my head think up a fun and impromptu idea.  Why not have a contest of pictures of the kids in Halloween costumes?

Jean Huang Photography is featured on Examiner.com - Los Angeles Photographer

Let's face it.  When I made the big transition to do photography on a commercial level (vs. a hobby and vs. continuing on the corporate path), I did not plan on this day.  It was simply a pursuit of a passion, a passion to bring and share joy and beauty, a passion to connect with people and make a positive impact to their lives.  And then, this opportunity came along for the business to be featured in Examiner.  So I don't need to tell you how excited I am to see it being published, the philosophy behind this business.

It's still true that it's a business.  Even non-profits need to balance their budgets.  And I need to support myself.  But I also hope that there's more to the business transactions, that there is a human side.

Well, let me step off the soap box so you can read for your own:
