Hello, fall! What better way to kick off the season than with this masterful autumn-inspired portrait? What activities are you looking forward to this fall? 🍁 🍂
Many thanks to Exclusive Artists Liz Lindström and Teresa Mattos for taking us along with them on their road trip earlier this week! It was such fun getting to follow your journey in the #instagramtakeover. We thought we’d wrap up the week with these incredible #charcoalconte portraits each has done of the other 👏. Safe travels home!
Hey Y’all! @teresamattosart and @artistlizlindstrom here at the end of the day, and what a great day! Gorgeous locations, great lunch by @leslie_baldwin and travel and arrival with the #coachmanrv - more tomorrow! #artistsontheroad #lexingtonky #nashvilletn #artinatimeofcorona #ilovemyjob
The splendor of fall... the perfect time for a portrait sitting! We’d love to help you get started on your child’s portrait. Contact us to learn more.
Just ten more weeks until 🎄! After the year we’ve all had, your loved one deserves a one-of-a-kind gift they will never forget. Contact us today to check off that special someone on your Christmas shopping list. Gift certificates available.
We made it to Friday! Cheers to the weekend, everyone!

Some #WednesdayWisdom about the birth of the #SelfPortrait featuring the art of #AlbrechtDurer and other masters of portraiture. "But the premise that an image can be an authentic representation — that you are a unique individual at all — is not self-evident. It is a historical development. It had to be invented." #WhoWillPaintYourPortrait https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/25/arts/durer-self-portrait.html?mc=aud_dev&ad-keywords=auddevgate&subid1=TAFI&ad_name=INTER_20_XXXX_XXX_1P_CD_XX_XX_SITEVISITXREM_X_XXXX_COUSA_P_X_X_EN_FBIG_OA_XXXX_00_EN_JP_NFLINKS&adset_name=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2Finteractive%2F2020%2F09%2F25%2Farts%2Fdurer-self-portrait.html&campaign_id=23846032319940063&fbclid=IwAR0Z0RzcE4PKlGyHFXrtDNcHD6DnFlhLCyRzNCNtODl1qrPGh2Gkmg1aQJI

The most meaningful portraits tell a story. Beyond merely memorializing a person’s likeness, they give insight into that person as well. What story would your portrait tell?

Spread some cheer in the new year with a portrait from #PortraitsInc!
In a year unlike any other, grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how we feel about our #PortraitsInc family. To our endlessly creative and inimitable artists, associates, and clients, we wholeheartedly say THANK YOU! This year each of you played a role in bringing light to sometimes dark times and have shared the gift of comfort, of beauty, of remembrance, of legacy through portraiture. Because of you, we can remember 2020 for its portraits rather than its pandemic. So long, 2020, and we wish you a Happy New Year!
What do you mean there are still 4 more days in 2020?? #overit #solong2020
