Beautiful. Timeless. Engaging. These are some of the words that I most hear used to describe my work. Whether a formal oil painting, lustrous gift prints, fine art prints, greeting cards, fun senior pictures, or headshots for business, acting, or modeling, I enjoy working with you to create treasured additions to your family's portrait collection. Please take a few moments to look over some of my work shown here, and give me a call so we can explore how I can create some beautiful additions to your portrait collection. - Wallace Reid (404) 350-9930
Family Portraits
Your’s for today - your family's forever. A beautiful portrait captures your family's enduring love not just for today, but preserves it for your future generations to cherish as well. Whether rendered as a Gift Print or as a stunning wall portrait, your investment in Wallace Reid family portraits creates wonderful memories for you and yours.
Children's Portraits
Precious childhood moments pass all to quickly, so capturing those fleeting months and years in your family portrait art collection is so very important. I love to work with you to create the perfect portraits of your child that will ensure those special memories will always be with you.
Senior Portraits
Senior graduation is a major milestone, and one where your investment in portrait art will pay special dividends. I create portraits that capture your Senior's unique personality and style. Bring things that express the Senior's unique interests such as music or sports. My goal is to make sure that both the experience and the result are great! As a community service, I offer senior portraits at very special pricing.
Baby & Infant
Baby's first year is a time of growth and change that is like no other. And a family's commitment to capturing and preserving these brief but beautiful moments will reward like few others. My very popular Watch Me Grow program offers four sittings throughout baby's first year at significant savings. This is a great way to augment your collection of family portrait art during your child's important first year.
Pet Portraits
Yes, I believe pets are people too! I love working with your pets, either by themselves or with the family, to capture their beauty and wonderful personalities. I always allow ample time for your pet to become comfortable in our studio, so we can be sure to get a beautiful portrait for you to treasure.
Headshots
You only get one chance to make a first impression, so make sure that it is a good one! Whether for business, acting, or modeling so much depends on the impact of someone's first look. As a distinct service from our traditional portraiture, I offer headshots specifically designed for your intended use and audience.
Social Networking
Today a very rapidly growing specialty area is images for use on social networking sites. Ideally, these capture the real you in a way that bridges the artistic gap between candid snapshots and formal portraiture. I understand the importance of this and create looks that show you at your natural best.
Bridal Portraits
A bride has a special beauty that is unique to the special occasion. I love to create timeless bridal portraits that provide an enduring memory of that special beauty. Be sure to ask about my special renderings that are perfect for display at your reception, and to allow sufficient lead time in your planning for the creation of a true work of bridal portrait art.
Restoration
It is not uncommon that I am approached by clients wishing to repair or enhance their keepsake photographs. In these cases, I use advanced techniques to permanently preserve your pictures to prevent deterioration and restore any damages from time and the elements. I also frequently create beautiful new works based on existing images, adding artistic enhancements to take your original image to a new level of enjoyment.
I would be pleased to discuss your specific needs with you.
Portrait Renderings
All of my portraits receive the same high degree of artistry. This means that each Wallace Reid Portrait can be rendered in one or more of several media:
Gift Prints
For keeping a treasured family album, desktop display, wall groupings, and gifts for special occasions, I offer lustrous Gift Prints. In this day when too often so-called "prints" are simply ink-jet products, I only use the highest quality lab emulsion papers with special protective coatings that deepen and enrich their inherent beauty.
Oil Paintings
For the ultimate artistry, I offer classic oil paintings of my portraits. These are each hand-painted in a detailed and realist style seldom seen today. I encourage you to tour my gallery to best appreciate he richness of color, tonal depth, and texture integral to these works' unique legacy value.
Entoilage
One of my most popular offerings are canvas wall portraits rendered in my exclusive Entoilage process. During tours of my galleries, visitors are often challenged to distinguish between my oil paintings and the works rendered in this proprietary and trademarked style. Entoilage offers the same artistic beauty of a traditional oil painting though at a significant investment advantage.
Gallery Fine Art Prints
Executed in motifs of watercolor, charcoal, pencil, or pastels, and rendered on the finest imported archival art papers, Gallery Fine Art Prints are another popular art rendering. Most often in smaller wall portrait sizes, or even as gift prints, these feature a unique look and texture suggestive of watercolor or other paper-based art media. Again, to appreciate the richness of these works a gallery tour is best.
Holiday Cards
For holidays and other occasions, my greeting cards are almost like miniature versions of Gallery Fine Art Prints. Each is created on linen textured or art paper stock, giving them an appeal at a level above the mass-market glossy cards that have become a bit too common today. Being miniature art prints, my clients tell me that their family and friends will often frame and display them as portrait art prints!
