Where do your photos live? Do they live on your phone or in your home?
We capture more pictures today than ever. But most of them end up on our phones or a computer and never get printed. The digital age is making it hard to have images to pass down from one generation to the next.
As a fine art photographer, I believe that your precious images deserve more. They deserve to be displayed and enjoyed.
Here are 5 fun ways to enjoy your photos in your home!
1. Create a Focal Point with a Large Wall Portrait
Sometimes less is more! Sometimes all you need is to have one large portrait of those you love in an area that everyone enjoys spending their time.
A portrait such as this reminds you of an important season in the life of your family.
2. Create a Gallery Wall
Do you have several photos that you love? Perhaps there were just too many that you loved at your last portrait session and you want to tell a story.
When you are wanting to create a gallery wall, consider the dominant colors in your room to create a cohesive look for your arrangement. Your photos should feel like they belong in the room.
Galleries can include individual family members as well as various groupings – parents, siblings, parent and child, etc.
3. Tell Your Family’s Story with an Album
Many images can be nicely arranged in a beautiful album. Our albums are especially gorgeous with leather of your choosing, gilded edges, and book-bound!
Your album can become a focal point on a coffee table or displayed on a shelf.
An album becomes a family heirloom and images can be shared for years to come!
4. Create a Wall Display in Unexpected Places
We often think about wall portraits in the family room. This is a wonderful location! There are also many other possibilities.
A Child’s Bedroom
An Office
A Hallway
A Grouping Extending Across a Shelf
A Staircase
A Reading Nook
The possibilities are endless!
5. Mix Photos with Family Heirlooms
Display a picture of your child beside the outfit they are wearing and hang together in their room.
Exhibit a photo of a family member with an antique toy beside that same toy on a shelf.
Incorporate a portrait with treasured, heirloom, family furniture.
Show a picture of a family member wearing vintage jewelry.
Don’t Let your Photos Live Exclusively on your Phone
Your family is worthy of display throughout your home!
Your photos can become beautiful artwork that celebrates your family and your story!
