You might be thinking “What am I investing in? Why Portraits By Rachel?” You’re investing an experience, your are investing in your family! I’d like this to become a treasured family heirloom for generations to come. They’re going to look lovely on your walls today. But your children’s children are going to cherish these- this is more than a piece of paper- this is art, this is you, your family frozen in a moment of time forever. This will last several lifetimes and is going to be so much more meaningful than, say…  a designer handbag or a new electronic gadget. What do you value more? What do you choose to invest in? Many individuals who balk at the investment required for custom done portraits wont bat an eye at the idea of dropping a few hundred dollars on their preferred toy or status symbol. So, again, it all comes down to what you choose to value more. It’s well worth the investment, even if you must save up to make the investment.
