After we’ve taken your family photos, the next step is getting physical copies of them made so they can be enjoyed for years to come. It breaks my heart that so many people go through the effort of taking beautiful photos of their families just to let them sit as digital files forever.

I am a big believer that your photos deserve to live outside of a screen. There is a special kind of magic that comes with printed images, and everyone should get to experience that for themselves.

I am happy to chat with you about all the various options you have when it comes to printing your photos. There are so many good uses for beautiful, updated family pictures, including things like photo albums, holiday cards, and gifts for grandparents. I could go on and on, but one of my personal favorite ways to use family pictures is in gallery walls.

There are so many reasons why it's a good idea to display your photos using a gallery wall, so I have compiled a few of my top ones here:

Celebrates Your Children in Their Various Stages

When you become a parent, time starts moving in a completely new way. Maybe it’s because you have so much more on your plate than before, or maybe it has something to do with the need to remember every last inch of your kids at each stage of their lives. Displaying a gallery wall in your home is the perfect way to honor the beauty of each new moment with your children, while at the same time memorializing the perfect moments of the past.

Boosts Your Kids Confidence

As a kid, it’s normal to go through all kinds of ups and downs. Home should be a place where children can relax and recharge for the next big thing they’re involved in. Seeing their images prioritized in the decor throughout the home sends a message to your children that you love and value them. That understanding is just the kind of thing that makes rough days at school or daycare a little bit easier.

Shows Your Relationships in a Lasting Way

I do my best to capture photos of your family that represent your genuine relationships and interactions. A gallery wall tangibly displays the love you share for each other. Not only do printed photos last for years and years, but the high-quality frames will be heirloom pieces that will be passed down through your family history. Your family photos are so much more significant than just a picture for a Christmas card, they are your unique legacy.

Turns a House Into a Home

Framing photos on the walls of your home changes the entire feel of your space. It gives your family ownership over your home and makes it feel homey and personal. Both you and your kids will be able to tell the difference that comes with filling your walls with personality. The happy photos you hang throughout your home set the tone for the kind of mood and interactions you hope to have.

Before you start feeling intimidated by the idea of designing and installing a gallery wall yourself, know that my team can take care of all of that for you.
