Frames that tell their own story while beautifully preserving yours
Welcome to The Heirloom Frame Shop, where each frame tells its own story while beautifully preserving yours.
I believe that your most cherished memories deserve to be preserved in frames as unique and special as the moments they hold. When you choose a frame from The Heirloom Frame Shop, you’re selecting more than just a beautiful piece—you’re choosing a truly one-of-a-kind home for your memories. Unlike a frame from a department store, each heirloom frame is meticulously sourced, carefully curated, and filled with the character and charm that only a vintage piece can bring.
Every frame in my collection is a second-hand, antique gem, hand-selected to reflect the timeless nature of your memories. These frames are each chosen with thought and purpose—much like the memories they hold—making them an extension of your story and a meaningful piece of art in your home. As a wedding and family photographer, I understand the importance of giving your memories a place of honor, and my own home is filled with gallery walls that bring joy and nostalgia every day.
The process begins with you selecting a frame from the shop, followed by choosing a photograph that deserves a special place. Whether it’s a photo from your wedding day, an intimate family session, or a beautiful landscape from the NKP Archives, I will ensure that it’s printed, framed, and prepared with utmost care. Your frame will arrive ready to adorn your walls, to be treasured for generations to come.
At The Heirloom Frame Shop, I’m dedicated to curating frames that go beyond décor. They’re heirlooms, crafted to bring your memories to life and become cherished keepsakes in your family’s story.
