Quick disclaimer:
I didn’t write the words below—they were written by another long-time professional photographer, Missy Mwac, who, like me, believes deeply in the power of printed portraits. Missy creates wall art for her clients just as I do for families here in Stuart, Florida and all along the Treasure Coast. Her poem beautifully captures what a portrait can become over time—not just a picture, but a presence. I hope it speaks to you as much as it does to me.
A Constant Reminder
by Missy Mwac
My name is 30x40.
I realize it’s an odd name, but it’s what I go by.
I’m 21 years old.
I live in a home on a wall over a fireplace.
I’ve lived in a living room all my life. And well, it’s been nice.
I live with a family–if you look at me, you’ll see them smiling back at you.
They’re pretty great.
Actually, they look a bit different now.
That little boy is a man and that little girl is a woman.
But I remember when they weren’t.
And I help them remember, too.
When I think back to 21 years ago, a lot has happened.
I remember the day I was put in this frame and hung on the wall.
I became a part of the living room.
Through the years, the children would glance up at me
And see themselves surrounded by the people who love them most in the world
(That has got to be a great feeling)
I’m not sure their little minds could grasp it fully
But each time they looked at me, the idea that they were loved and part of a family and very important was embedded deeper into their subconscious.
Day after day, year after year, I reminded them of that fact
I slowly came to realize that was my purpose…to remind them of their importance.
As they played with their trucks and their dolls, and then, in later years, with their video games and their iPhones, I stood over them. A constant steady reminder that they are part of this thing called “Family.”
That they matter in the world.
Over the years, others have come to join me
16x20
40x60
Even our little buddy, 11x14
We all work together to remind these children, this family, of what they mean to each other.
The children are fully grown now and out, into the world.
But each time they come home, they see me again
And they marvel at how little they once were
And how loved they’ve always been.
The End
Why Family Portraits in Stuart, Florida Matter
When Missy writes about being a constant reminder, it puts into words what so many families feel but can’t always express: that portraits don’t just decorate a home—they anchor it.
I can’t tell you how many times a parent here in Stuart or Palm City has told me they regret not doing portraits sooner. Life moves quickly. Kids grow up. Sometimes families change. And often, the only thing that remains is the love we can see in a well-made portrait.
