You invested the time to plan your portrait session and choose the perfect outfits. Then you created beautiful images of the people you love.
What should you do with your photos?
While digital images are wonderful for sharing with family and friends, photographs become even more meaningful when you can actually see and enjoy them every day.
At Image is Everything Studios in Pitman, NJ, we believe your portraits deserve to live somewhere other than your phone or computer. There are so many beautiful ways to enjoy your professional photographs. Here are some of our favorites, from framed prints and wall art to albums and gallery walls.
Don’t Let Your Photos Live Only on Your Phone
We’re all guilty of it. We take hundreds—sometimes thousands—of photos, and most of them never make it off our phones.
Professional portraits are different.
These photographs were carefully planned and professionally edited. They capture a particular time in your family’s life. Printing your favorite images gives you the opportunity to enjoy them now while also creating something your children can keep for years to come.
A framed family portrait on the wall or an album sitting on the coffee table becomes part of your home and your family’s story.
Choose the Right Size for Your Space
One of the biggest mistakes people make when ordering wall portraits is choosing a print that’s too small for the space.
An 8×10 may sound like a good-sized photograph when you’re ordering it. But over a sofa, fireplace, or large piece of furniture, it can suddenly look tiny.
For larger walls, consider statement-size artwork or a grouping of several coordinating images.
Before ordering, think about where you want to display the photograph. Measure the wall and consider the furniture underneath it. Choose your artwork based on the space rather than a familiar print size. It can make a huge difference in the finished look.
Create a Gallery Wall
Can’t choose just one favorite? You don’t have to.
Gallery walls are a beautiful way to tell more of your family’s story. You might combine a family portrait with individual images of the children, sibling photographs, or several favorite moments from the same session.
For a timeless look, keep something consistent throughout the display. That could be matching frames, similar print sizes, coordinating mats, or a symmetrical arrangement.
You can also leave room to add new photographs as your family grows.
Invest in an Album
Albums are one of our favorite ways to preserve an entire portrait session.
Wall art lets you enjoy a few favorite images every day. An album keeps many of your favorite photographs together in one place.
This is especially meaningful for newborn photography, maternity sessions, baby’s first year, and family portraits. Years from now, there’s something special about sitting together and turning the pages of an album rather than scrolling through a folder of digital files.
Our signature albums at Image is Everything Studios are designed to become keepsakes—something that can be enjoyed now and eventually passed down.
Don’t Forget the Smaller Spaces
Not every photograph needs to become large wall art.
Smaller framed prints are perfect for:
- Nightstands and dressers
- Bookshelves
- Desks and home offices
- Entryway tables
- Nursery shelves
- Grandparents’ homes
These smaller displays are also a great way to rotate photographs throughout your home as your children grow.
