Soft, Sweet, and Newborn

Friday, March 1st, 2013

There is nothing that says “softness” like a newborn baby!  These canvases speak for themselves.  I think you’ll understand after appreciating them, how much fun my job here at Canvas on Demand can be!  

One of our customers, Michelle, asked us to create this precious canvas of her first granddaughter who arrived after four grandsons!  It’s no wonder that Michelle wanted this feminine photo turned into an heirloom piece of art.  She told us:  “My first granddaughter!  She won’t be spoiled one bit! Right!” 

Another customer, Rachel, in her online testimonial, said, “I was snapping these for my little girl’s first birthday party invitations.”  And of course, a baby, a camera, and a little sweetness always equals a great canvas! 

Lauren explained:  “I am a portrait photographer, and this photo was taken in my studio. This baby was 2 weeks old and such a good baby to photograph.”  Lauren, we are sure your clients were very satisfied with this final product! 

Another photographer, out of Georgia, really captured softness in her image!  Her name is Kathleen, and her photo was so unique with that brown prop.  “This sweet love child stole my heart during our photo shot!”  She went on to say, “Her Mamma’s gonna squeal when she gets her Canvas! It is just BEAUTIFUL!”

For a canvas that will make you squeal, simply grab your camera and a newborn.  End of lesson.  Mom

City Youth Seek Beauty and Light

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about Canvas on Demand’s support of the Viewfinder Project, a photography initiative organized by the LYN House, a youth-focused non-profit on Indianapolis’ near eastside.  I first visited the classroom where instructors and volunteers were teaching the children how to look for beauty and light in their neighborhoods.  Then this past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the opening of their photography show. 

The House had been transformed into a gallery showcasing the youth’s work.  Some of the most outstanding photos had been re-created as art canvases.  What a joy to hear the young photographers proudly explain each piece–the composition, colors, shading, focal points, and textures.  But I especially enjoyed hearing how the project had made them see beauty where they had not noticed it before. 

Thanks to the LYN House director, Heidi Lyda, and her board of directors for allowing Canvas on Demand to partner in this worthwhile and meaningful project.  Your dedication to these young people is yet another example of the beauty and light in our world.   Mom

Mom congratulates Mayson, a sixth-grader who was eager to share her photo of the Indiana State Capitol building. 

Canvases of the photos will be sold to support the mission of the LYN House.
