Cruz Portrait Design
A family’s portrait hanging prominently for guests and those who dwell within the home to see means so much. Firstly, it signifies who belongs within the family at this residence, and often involves a beautiful backdrop that is meaningful to those in the photo.
Today’s family portraits allow us to show the world our personalities and unique tribes, whomever they may be. From families, couples, friends – – even the furry kind, it just feels special and warm to choose a wall in our home and don it with a beautiful portrait of “us.” There is something so intimate about inviting a new friend into our lives, then homes, and allowing them to see snapshots and snippets of who we really are. And, what about the people who live in the home? It is grounding and safe to turn a corner in our home and know that we will see the smiling faces of those we love at any hour of the day and no matter what corner of the world they may be in now. A family portrait can provide that stability and sameness that children so sorely need in today’s quick, non-personal rat race.

As a long-standing member of IBE, Manny understands the absolute benefit that bartering provides businesses, especially those just starting out who may be low on capital. It is the perfect solution for cash-starved entrepreneurs to use whatever funds they do have for the necessities allowing IBE barters to add items the business probably could not afford otherwise. For Manny, this exact situation has allowed him to travel and dine at restaurants that have become some of his favorite haunts now. IBE has always allowed Manny to meet new clients and to market his business in a fun, mutually beneficial way.
