Did you know that couples spend on average only 2 hours together each day?
Does this sound surprising… or familiar?
Do you love your partner more than anything in the world but feel frustrated?
Are you working so hard FOR a life with the one you love that you aren’t able to spend time WITH the one you love?
Portraits connect…
Are you constantly amazed, filled with love for the person your partner IS, but realize the last time you had a portrait together has been years…or decades?
After all, time is the one thing you can NEVER get more of…
Portraits press PAUSE and stop time… They are a visual love letter to your person so they feel celebrated and can draw strength and confidence from the love you share…
The bare walls of your home tell a story – or they don’t. Either way, they communicate what you REALLY value!
A Forever Beloved portrait will keep your love story front and center for everyone who sees it… even when you are not around.
Would you cherish portraits with YOU AND YOUR PARTNER in them?
Without these preserved memories, your kids are left disappointed… because there WAS no “perfect time”…
NOW is the perfect time or there will be no history of the special love you share with your Forever Beloved throughout the years you’ve been together.
Only people in portraits will be remembered.
Quality Artwork that lives on the walls of your home is a constant reminder that your Forever Beloved matters, is loved and important.
Products are purchased separately. We want you to feel safe during our collaborative experience, so no decisions, commitment, or product payment is required from you until your Ordering Session. And, because we want you to purchase what you love, if you don’t love what we create, you are not required to purchase a thing and your holding fee will be refunded!
Should you fall head over heels (which we’re pretty sure you will) with any of your portraits, we’ll help guide you through the options ensuring the best fit for you. At that time, you can apply your $100 spending credit toward any product purchase.
Our fine art products suit a range of tastes, lifestyles and budgets from traditional to modern. You can choose from mounted prints, print bundles, wall art, albums, and portrait boxes.
Matching digitals are available with all purchased wall art pieces, albums and portrait boxes and are perfectly suited for social media sharing.
We believe professional portraits deserve to be displayed in your home. Most do prefer wall art in a significant size. The larger the art piece is, the more powerful the impact. And, everyone loves more than just one 🙂 If this is true for you as well, your $100 will become a $1000 spending credit and will be applied towards the largest Wall Art Portrait you choose.
As a guide, our artwork (museum quality prints, mounted and coated to last – these are NOT floppy paper prints) starts at $495 each, and are less expensive in bundles – the more you purchase, the less you pay.
Entry level Wall Art portraits start at $1,500, while most families typically spend $1,500 and more on their finished art pieces and digital negatives, getting exactly what they want.
Wall art pieces range from $1,500 to $20,000 for a museum quality piece as large as your couch. You are free to choose whichever option makes your heart sing.
Focusing on the true beauty of our clients, we create artwork that will be passed down through generations. We are Portrait Designers, so portraits are custom crafted for each family, with lovely options for every budget. Your choice of two payment plans are available for your convenience.
To book your session, please fill out our short application form below and, if you are selected, we’ll get in touch with you via text and email to schedule a quick phone call and go over all the details. Sessions are limited and are being scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t wait too long!
We understand. Life is a whirlwind. Juggling work, school runs, and your kids’ activities—things that make the cliché, “The days are long, but the years are short,” feel totally true.
Wise couples make the time to create an heirloom portrait that will be cherished for generations. We’re experts at finding the best setting, positioning and light that will flatter you both and capture your connection.
HAVE YOU BEEN THINKING ABOUT TAKING PORTRAITS WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE?
NOW is the PERFECT time!
But none of them with you.
And you want to hold on to this time forever
What real love looks like
Ever After Portraits creates portraits by appointment only at our residential studio which is ideally situated 25 miles from Washington, D.C. in the rolling hills of Northern Virginia.
Our fully equipped indoor and outdoor studio rests on 2.5 acres located at 📌 46506 Oak Lane, Sterling, Virginia, 20165.
Feel free to call or text the Studio at this number: 📞 571.434.0009.
The Studio’s e-mail address is ✉ Hello@EverAfterPortraits.com.
Please note that the Studio is typically closed on Saturdays and Sundays and we will not reply to calls, texts or e-mails during that two-day time period. Thank you for your understanding.
Quite simply, couples don’t get in front of the camera enough! As the center of the family, we have a special heart for helping couples be as close as possible.
Offering these complimentary Forever Beloved Couples portrait sessions is a meaningful way we can make beautiful art that we know will be cherished. With your participation, we can make sure that more people see the beautiful connection and love you share.
COVID has created great challenges for many people. As a way to give back to our community, we decided to give couples the opportunity to create legacy artwork to be cherished for generations.
No, we are looking for REAL families. Our clients are real people so we prefer to show real people in our wall displays, on our website, social media and in our portfolios.
Although this is primarily an Artist Project celebrating the love that couples share, chosen applicants who participate can include all members of their immediate family – we will be happy to photograph your whole immediate family at no extra cost – as long as we receive notice prior to your session.
We block out 1 to 1.5 hours for your appointment. A standard session takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of people in the family.
Unfortunately in the past when we offered complimentary sessions without any holding fee, we experienced many late cancellations and no shows.
We now require a $200 refundable holding fee to book your time on the studio’s calendar which ensures that we have serious and committed clients coming in.
Because we set aside our studio for only one family at a time, we require a holding fee, which is paid for ANY type of session scheduled on our calendar.
This holding fee does not constitute any obligation to purchase: In the event you choose not to purchase, your holding fee is fully refunded as long as you keep your appointments or provide at least 14 days notice to reschedule so that we have enough time to fill your slot.
If you choose to purchase, your holding fee will be applied in full to any order you choose to place.
No need to worry!
Once your session is booked, we’ll send you ideas on what to wear and what works best with our studio’s signature style.
This is an extremely special part of your portrait experience with Ever After Portraits, allowing you to experience and reflect on the beauty of your family using our fun and efficient selection process and unique software.
One to two weeks after your portrait session, you and your partner will experience your cinematic presentation and ordering session and have the opportunity to purchase artwork of your family!
This meeting is when you will view your beautiful portraits, place any orders and apply your Spending Credit towards any order you’d like to make. (No order required.)
As a guide, products begin at $495, entry level wall art starts at $1,500 while most clients spend $1,500 and upwards on their finished art pieces. Fine art pieces range from $1,500 to $20,000 for a museum quality piece as large as your couch. You are free to choose whichever option makes your heart sing. Portraits are custom crafted for each family, with lovely options for every budget, as well as comfortable payment plans.
This cinematic experience can sometimes be emotional, as we tell the story of your family. After, you will see more of the the beauty of your family in portraiture and choose the portraits you love. We will help guide you as you select your favorite portraits to enjoy on the walls of your home. After choosing wall art, clients often add on an album or portrait box.
All orders are placed at your ordering session, as online galleries and printed proofs to take home are not available.
The Ordering Session and Cinematic Presentation is often described as one of our clients’ favorite and most memorable parts of the Ever After Experience.
An important note: If you are married or partnered, both you and your spouse or partner will not want to miss this Zoom, which currently takes place by appointment on Tuesdays.
Why is this? In most relationships, both members tend to like having at least some input (either financial or aesthetic) in the selection process. It’s also emotional, and happy tears can and do often happen. (Keep tissues handy, just in case!)
Too many times, we have heard extreme regret when a partner has not been able to attend. Second Zoom appointments are expensive and can be challenging to accommodate as we are a boutique studio that is booked to a limited capacity so that we may serve our clients at the highest levels of attention and detail.
We are Mindy & Joriana,
a mother-daughter team, and kindred spirits. In our world, nothing means more to us than family and family legacy. This is one of the reasons Joriana’s name includes part of my name as well as both her grandmothers’ names.
We are passionate about documenting the unspoken moments in your life. Especially when life gets busy. After all, isn’t the best part of life the love and connection you feel for those closest to you?
The sweet part of what we do is getting to know our clients personally, connecting with them and those they love in the most intimate of moments. Along this journey, people often rediscover even more about what they love and treasure most. You will feel beautiful and connected, right now, in a world where that rarely happens anymore.
Helping our clients as their personal portrait concierge capture the love for the people around them and turn it into everlasting memories is one of the best things about what we do.
These unique and beautifully finished artworks become a constant reminder of who is important in your lives. This type of artwork, the type that belongs in a prominent place in your home, lets you re-experience the things you love most about your family every day.
Don’t miss another moment,
start capturing…
Your Moments…Forever!
“I went in with very high expectations and they were absolutely met and then some! You guys were fantastic with my kids and really able to capture them at their finest. The whole shoot was fun and even the reluctant children admitted it wasn’t so bad.
The photos of my husband and I especially were really beautiful. Its not often we are both in the pictures together and the most frequent comment I have gotten about it was how great the photographs captured how Greg and I feel about each other and how we interact with each other. That’s exactly what I was going for. The end result – absolutely fabulous! I will treasure these photographs for the rest of my life, truly. Thank you guys so much!”
“I enjoyed every step of the process. Working with Mindy and Joriana was delightful. They are kind, attentive and know what they are doing.
Their professionalism is refreshing and they produce amazing results. I would contact them again for more pictures in the future.”
Recommend them hands down!”
Working with Mindy and Joriana was such a pleasure! They made us feel completely comfortable during our family photo shoot and despite what I thought were two very rambunctious boys (our sons), they were able capture priceless expressions and moments between the two of them in photos that we will cherish forever.
We had a lot of fun during our family photo shoot and it really shows in the final product, our family portrait and photo book! Thank you so much for capturing these moments that we can look back on forever!”
“They are just so comfortable and easy to work with! And they just make you feel at home, so you never feel tense or nervous how you look because you’re never even thinking about how you look.”
