Pittsburgh Custom Framing
In previous articles we’ve talked a lot about digital images. Today we’re going to talk about your physical photos, whether it’s to hang up in the office or your house. Chances are, if you’re hanging a picture, it’s either one of your favorites or has sentimental value. Getting your photo custom framed can not only finish off the photo as a piece of artwork, but it can help preserve it for years to come. For the visual effect, the frames purpose is to complete your photo, drawing the eye to it, without distracting from it. We highly recommend our downtown Pittsburgh Custom Framing.
.At first glance, a room full of frame corners, with hundreds of colors, shapes, textures, and feels might seem super intimidating. Don’t worry! A professional custom framer will help you out! They can look at your photo and almost immediately narrow down a couple of frames that will work best for you. There will be some other materials to consider as well, such as the mat and mounting system. The mat is a thin piece of material inside the frame which separates the art from the glass. It can also serve a as decoration, depending which you choose to go with. This will come along with recommendations from your framer.
Preserve! You love your photo! You want to save it for years to come, right? The way to do that is to learn how to properly preserve it – everything from mounting it correctly to storing it correctly. Framers take this responsibility seriously, as they should, and you choose not to use their recommenced preservation materials you may even be asked to sign a waiver releasing them from any responsibility for damage that may happen over the years.
Conversation With The Framer They may start by also asking some administrative questions to get started – such as your budget or timeframe. As we all know custom framing can get a little pricy so it’s important to be on the same page from the beginning.
Because the photo’s frame is as much for decoration as it is preservation, the framer will need to know a little more about you, and the location of the photo – as well as see the photo themselves if possible. The may ask you the coloring and personality of the room it will be hanging in. They will be particularly interested about the wall it will be mounted on, in order to find the perfect mounting material for you. Depending on your response, they may need special mounting equipment to help it stay secure (may increase the total price).
Don’t be afraid to discuss anything specific you are looking for in terms of design. Remember, not everything is possible depending on the wall surface and sort of mounting your looking for – but most should be! You’re the customer and our professional framers are here to help you achieve whatever look you are aiming for.

In the line for the tour, the guide asked a little white girl what she knew about George Washington. She said: “He had slaves.” The enslaved people of Mt Vernon was one if my biggest takeaways from the visit. This was George Washington home, farm, and yes, plantation.The home was by no means the grand mansion that we would expect a man of Washington’s stature to have today. But the grounds were expansive. He had 5 large farms, tons of acreage of forests, a harbor on the Potomac, and beautiful personal gardens. In 1799 when he died, there were 5 family members who lived on the state. About a dozen white servants.But over 300 black enslaved workers. Some families were split up to work on the different farms, and so didn’t regularly see their spouse or children. When they died, there was no marker to signify where they had been buried; by contrast, at the end of his life Washington commissioned a new tomb & grave site be made for his family, with a big brick mausoleum complete with the obelisks typical to the period. Not even the smallest of stones for the enslaved people.#mtvernon #georgewashington

Just playing around after our job. Dan and dogs brunch at @corkandforkpa (Great pistachio arugula pizza!)First time for me in Harrisburg. Impressed. Guess I wasn’t expecting much, as Erie PA is bigger, so I’m told.But love it! Reminds me a bit of a quiet and more spacious Old-City-Philly. With a small-time feel.The PA Captial building is amazingly beautiful, and in great shape! I had the privilege of being in the Superior Court rooms, and the artwork from 1920 (by Violet Oakley) was amazing. Not sure if I can post those though.Glad I extended my work trip by a tiny bit to see more of this city. Worth a trip. And stay at @hiltonhbg.

I love doing #teamphotos. My goal is to make sure that each person shines in the group, and that no one gets lost in the photo. You know what I mean - the person back in the third row that looks really tiny, trying to stick their chin up so you can see their head. 🤣And I love working with #financialadvisors and helping each different team produce a photo that highlights their uniqueness.Fun fact: this building I shot at was featured in the movie “Love and Other Drugs”, and the team shared with me some stories from filming day.

Back in December, I was hired to bring my skills for an event promoting Women Leading Women , a non-profit whose goal is to empower women through female-led conversations exploring career, family, and well being.I had 22 amazing women in front of my lens, with the goal of capturing their confidence and beauty.As a female photographer, I know the struggle women in business face in trying to do it all, while not letting go of their standards. Of standing their ground and not shying away from confrontation when needed. And supporting our community, as we are owed the same respect as our male colleagues. My hope is to continue these missions in my role as President of the Pittsburgh chapter of ASMP: The American Society of Media Photographers

Epic photo shoot time! This is what happens when you have an over-zealous new president. Ahem. The new Pittsburgh board of the American Society of Media Photographers is up for the challenge of supporting professional photographers/video/creatives in their hometown, and what a better way to show that than to collaborate as a team for this shoot. @asmp_pghEveryone had a part in making this shoot happen, and crafting it as we went. I am so excited to be working with @elanmizrahi our VP; @wdophoto our Secretary, @jwramp our Treasurer, @adrieshoots , @dprephoto .If this kinda looks familiar to you, then you are probably a @nbcbrooklyn99 fan. @aspictures awesome work on the show’s last promo photo was our inspiration. I loved this piece from the first time I saw it, and been dreaming a way of recreating it using our hometown @visitpittsburgh . “Sincerest form of flattery.”I was so giddily excited about it (think Jake) and determined to get it done (think Amy), that I was unyielding in my decision to finish it that night (Captain Holt.). Ok, I’m a total dork who geeked out about this for hours, with the help of @dan_jenworleyphotography , to finish the creation that evening.Other credits: to @asmpnational, who as a 75-year old organization is embracing change and promoting inclusivity. I don’t believe the Pittsburgh Board has ever had a women President before. (But correct me if I’m wrong.)Looking forward to what’s ahead. #pittsburghphotographer

Maybe you got their card in the mail? Always a challenge getting a big group together and making sure everyone "shines." Thanks to @omniwilliampennhotel for being flexible to allow CooksonPeirce and I to utilize the lobby.
