Photo Framing
Give the photograph room to stay with you.
Custom framing for family photographs, fine art photography, portraits, and images that carry more meaning than their size suggests.

Designed around the image
The frame should support the photograph, not explain it.
Mat proportion, frame profile, glazing, spacing, and paper tone all change how a photograph reads. The right combination can make a small image feel deliberate or let a large photograph hold a room quietly.
For sentimental or valuable photographs, conservation focused materials can also be considered as part of the framing design.
Protection without visual noise
Glazing and spacing matter.
Protective glazing, appropriate matting, and thoughtful spacing can help reduce unnecessary contact and support the photograph over time while keeping the presentation visually quiet.

A few things to consider before framing a photograph.
Bring the actual photograph whenever possible. The scale, paper, condition, and intended room all help shape the right presentation.
01Can older photographs be custom framed?
Yes. The framing approach can be selected around the condition, size, meaning, and preservation needs of the photograph.
02Should a photograph touch the glazing?
Spacing can be used when the piece and framing design call for separation between the photograph and the glazing.
03Can several photographs be framed together?
A grouped presentation can be considered when multiple photographs belong together. Layout, spacing, matting, and frame proportion are developed around the group.
