Childrens' Names in the Sand Framed Photo

Have the names of your loved one's children or grandchildren written in the sand! This beautiful, framed photo will be a singular and special gift, bound to be treasured for many years to come.

This is a custom item, made with your input in mind. Provide up to five names per photograph and I will go to the beach and actually write them in the sand, each separated by a real Starfish! Each photo is truly one-of-a-kind due to the changes from day-to-day in the surf, sand, weather, and light - but once written in the sand, these names are captured in a photo and will never wash away. 

When you place your order, you'll have the chance to choose from among four colors of frames (or none if you'd rather) and decide whether you'd like a color or black-and-white photo. You may decide to upgrade the size and if you have more than five names, please feel free to contact me for options. 

I will personally sign and date each photo and also provide a Certificate of Authenticity, further guaranteeing that each photo is a truly unique offering. 

Remember, you may opt to purchase the actual Starfish used in your photo shoot, in which case your keepsake will arrive beautifully packaged as pictured below.



Lastly, I'm happy to offer a free photo with every purchase. You'll receive with each order a 5" x 7" Love photo to give as a gift or hang in your own home. I truly hope you enjoy it!

Autumn Evenings at the Beach



Autumn evenings at the beach mean intimate talks around a bonfire, stargazing, and laughing until you lose your breath. The chill in the air is part of the magic, drawing everyone closer to the warmth of the fire and to each other. What better finishing touch than a cozy blanket? 

If you can't get to the shore as often as you'd like, I can help - let me send the feeling to you! I love sharing the joy I feel in creating art that reflects my love for the ocean's tranquility and power, as exemplified by this Unique Personalized Blanket.

I will go to the beach to create and capture the moment - the sand inscribed with your name (or the name of someone you love), the sparkling water, the rushing surf. That personalized beach photograph will be woven into a lovely 50" x 60" throw, there to enjoy long after the waves will have washed away the signs of that visit, beautiful enough to make you feel like you're there, adding a touch of coastal enchantment to the stargazing and company you enjoy from your own back yard. 

Whether for your own use or a delightful, personalized gift, each blanket is made to order, handcrafted with love and pride in the U.S.A., and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Every distinctive picture will be marked by the effect of Mother Nature's mood on that day; the waves and colors will vary accordingly and I will sign and date each picture, noting for you which beach I visited on your behalf. 

In addition to my passion for creating these pieces, I love to share the LOVE, so I will include as a gift with every purchase a 5x7 Love Photo, which you may choose to give as a gift or to hang in your own home for years to come. 

Whether prompted by a home warming or Holiday gifting need, or by your own hunger for something of the beach, scroll through the form here for options to further customize your package. If you're in need of a special Wedding or Anniversary  present, I also have a specialized version designed with just that in mind. I think you'll love them both!
