5 Ways to display your Family photos
You have either booked in for your family photography experience or about to which is so exciting as you are about to embark on an uplifting journey to feel connected and get to spend quality time with the ones you love.
You can rest assured your family will look and feel amazing in your photos and when you see your photos (like so many other families), you will see everyone’s personality shine through and capture your relationships in the special and unique way you see your bond and love.
Once your beautiful photos have been captured on the day of your family photoshoot, you will then get to view them in our cinematic viewing room. Our designer will take you through your favourite photos and help you create artwork for life.
We have created this blog to give you a few ideas on a few ways you can display your family photos at home to suit your space and décor.
So, the next question is:
“How and where are you going to display these amazing photos that show your family’s love and connection?”
“What do most families do with their photos?”
“Where do most families usually display their artwork?”
“What photos are best to be displayed?”
To help you answer these questions, let us go back to the big picture (pardon the pun).
Why did you want to get your family portraits done in the first place?
Is it because you have never done this before?
Is it because your children are growing up too quickly?
or is it because you missed out on a special time in their lives which you now can’t get back?
Is it because you have just bought your first home (or your third lol) and you want the artwork to show off that love you feel for your family?
Or to celebrate your family and have a constant reminder of the love, connection, and bond you share?
Most families choose to display their children photos proudly in their homes. Living spaces and communal areas, where friends and family congregate is the most popular wall space, however bedrooms and more private spaces can make for more intimate pieces. We suggest being creative, walking around your home and looking for those walls which are bare and in need for something special.
Family portraits add life and warmth to any wall transforming your house into a home.
Even though right now you might not even realise it, imagine how amazing it will feel to walk past those beautiful photos of your children showing off their cheeky personalities, and how it will make you feel when you see that every day in your home. Priceless right!
Still not sure you are ready to decorate with confidence. Well, here are five ideas on how and where to display your family photos that can help you start visualising your artwork in your home.
How should I display my family portraits?
1. Wall Art Statement Pieces
Statement pieces work beautifully in living spaces, above lounge suits or on adjacent walls.
Walking into your living space and seeing your kids portrait photos looking incredible is a great way to start your day. Your favourite stand out piece from your family photography session, that family moment or classic portrait photo displayed can change the energy in a room and create a warm and loving space.
Statement pieces are popular in living areas and dining rooms above dining tables or lounge suites.
Seeing your family photos displayed on your walls will give you and your children a sense of belonging and love.
2. Wall Art Collections
These are medium size pieces which work as a set and can be the same size or can have complimentary sizes with a statement piece in the centre.
This is for the family who wants to see their family as a feature in their home with more than one photo showing more of their love, connection and personalities through a story.
These sets are very popular in living spaces, dining areas, hallways and bedrooms.
3. Designer Pieces
Designer pieces have multiple photos inside one piece of artwork, usually incorporating 3-5 photos from your session. The photos will be specifically chosen to work beautifully together and will tell a story, show different sides of a child’s personality or show different relationships within your family.
You can work with your designer in your consultation to make these designer pieces unique where you are part of the creative process.
Designer pieces are very popular in living areas, bedrooms and other statement walls in the house.
This is for parents who want their family and children to be seen, who wants to have the constant reminder of the love, connection and bond they have with their kids.
4. Fine-Art Print Collection Box
Individually matted fine art prints that stack into a custom glass top display box. These are beautiful fine art pieces which give you variety and option to frame and mount on your wall as a set or leave in the box to keep private.
Fine-art prints are very popular to display quite a few together in hallways or alot of families love to frame and display the smaller fine-art prints on the wall next to their statement pieces as they are a great addition to your decor.
You can create beautiful stories on your wall so you can look back as time goes on.
5. YOUR OWN PRIVATE LEATHER BOUNDED Album
When you love so many photos from your couples photography shoot, albums are a popular way to display lots of your family photos. Selecting one of our boutique albums might be a great place to start. You can display your album on your coffee table or on a chest of drawers in the living spaces. This will be something you treasure for years to come and can pass onto your children to enjoy.
You photos will always bring back the experience of your family being together, having fun together and sharing your love together.
Where should I display my family artwork?
1. statement walls
Classic and candid family photos are great for in open spaces such as lounge or dining areas. Artwork which captures the whole family or your children being playful with each other are great choices for these areas. There will be photos to suit most places in your home.
You will see a variety of different types of photos from your photoshoot from classic to candid and artistic. From abstract and artistic to soft and intimate. The variety in your photos is designed to suit different areas in a home.
For example, an intimate skin shoot with your newborn is perfectly suited for the bedroom whereas a creative silhouette that is more artistic could suit a more conservative area in your home.
Prior to your family photography session, it’s a good idea to walk around your home and visualise the types of photos you would love to see on specific walls.
2. bedroom walls
Most families show their wall art in their living areas, however, your bedroom walls and the kids bedroom walls are a great place to consider. You can hang your wall art above your headboard or on a wall that is not doorway facing, if you want it to be less visible to those who pass by in the hallway.
The reason why we love this idea is because every morning when you wake up and get ready to take on the day, you will have a beautiful reminder of just how much love you felt in the moments that you saw your family on the big screen in your design consultation.
Looking at your wall art everyday will be a daily reminder of how important family is!
3. on your coffee table
Your family album or fine-art box collection is more often than not displayed for friends and family to see. Coffee tables, side tables or bench tops that are in view will be a talking point when loved ones come into your home.
Prior to the day of your photography session, take photos of the walls in your home that are available for artwork of your family and bring them to your design consultation.
