The good life.

Now you can order this!

We’ve gotten so much attention from this post, that we decided to launch a site where you can create your own, easy to install photo wall gallery! You can have us create an unframed photo gallery on Masonite, a metal gallery of squares and rectangles, or a group of canvases that work together to tell your story. See WallGalleries.com by clicking the image below to see how! (Note: we’ve also updated the post image/link to reflect the new site.)

One of my favorite places in our house is this certain corner of my couch. I don’t sit there to watch TV or to enjoy a fire in the fireplace. In fact, you can’t even see those things from there. I sit there and gaze at the wall where a large gallery of photos looks back at me; photos of my children, my family, our life.  Some of them are happy, some are serious, some are just plain silly. All of them are a beautiful tribute to our life together and the four little lives I am watching unfold before me. Sometimes when I am enjoying the view I smile to myself. I smile because I know that I have had a hand in creating hundreds of beautiful memories just like this for countless families in Silicon Valley and beyond.

I so love my job! I truly believe that what I do is important. I don’t just record an image that shows what a child looks like at two or five or nine. Instead, I seek to record his spirit, her energy, and the love they share with siblings and parents. Capturing that spirit is at the heart of every encounter I have.  Ooooh, I get goose-bumps just thinking about it. What a privilege it is to be a special part of the lives of so many families!

If you want to see a whole lotta’ cool galleries that my clients have shared, visit the Images by Anna Facebook page.

    Leila,
    I believe most of the major professional labs now offer it as a mounting option. However, I’m not aware of any consumer labs that do.
