The art that Margie produces is more than just photography in itself.

It s the testament to the love of celebrating family and the legacy we create for our children. Designing a beautiful and functional room while incorporating family photographs is often a decorating challenge. Portraits tend not to favor the walls in home decorating and design. As and interior decorator, designer and artist, Margie believes that family photographs and interior deign go hand in hand. By fusing interior design with family unity, a heartfelt and artful balance can be achieved.

Decorating with photographs
Many psychologists who specialize in early childhood development believe that children who see their own images displayed throughout the home grow up with a feeling of well-being and self-confidence. Portraits on display serve to make a child feel loved and valued. (from the seven ages of childhood program)

Decorating with your children’s photos can do more than add warmth and beauty to a home, it can actually enhance your child’s self-esteem. In the book “The Magic of Encouragement: Nurturing Your Child’s Self-Esteem” author and psychotherapist Stephanie Marston suggests placing two images of a child next to the child’s bed. One should show the child happily involved in an activity that they enjoy and the other should show the family together (parents and child nurturing each other or playing together). These images of your child being empowered and being loved will be “the last thing they see before they go to sleep and the first thing they see when they wake up. Images speak louder than words, so these photos can be a great benefit to a child’s development. Stephanie Marston’s book, The Magic of Encouragement: Nurturing Your Child’s Self-Esteem, can be found at http://www.stephaniemarston.com/

What better way to show how you feel about your baby than to decorate your home with baby portraits made at important milestones in their life.

Why will your fine photograph be so unique and exceptional?
What goes into the making of our fine art pieces? ... Creating artistic baby portraits involves many steps outside of photography like planning, creation, design and the art of hand printing and enhancing through digital paint brushes. Clients come to us because they have a need for something unique, creative, enchanted, exceptional, and a priceless memory of their children to be cherished forever. In fine portraiture, once precious memories are captured, they go through an enhancement process similar to paintings. Skin is softened, eyes brightened, and skin imperfections removed. Vignettes are created to the final baby portrait to bring out the subjects even more. The final step is protecting your portrait with a professional mount and texture.

What are the photographer Specialties?
Margie Mastrangelo is a newborn photographer and baby portraits artist. This is where we start and continue on during your child's journey to adulthood. But at the very core of the studio, I guess we can say that it all begins with the newborn photographer portraits session.
