Your family portraits deserve more than a social media post — they deserve a place of honor in your home. As part of my full-service experience, I help every family find the perfect way to display their artwork. Here are my top recommendations.
The Statement Piece
One large, stunning print displayed prominently in your living space makes an incredible impact. A 30x40 or 40x60 canvas or framed print above a sofa, fireplace, or in an entryway creates a focal point that tells visitors exactly what matters most in your home.

Gallery Walls
A curated collection of prints in varying sizes creates a dynamic, personal gallery wall. I recommend choosing frames in a consistent finish (white, natural wood, or black) and mixing horizontal and vertical orientations for visual interest.
Albums and Folios
Heirloom albums are one of my favorite ways to preserve a complete session story. There's something irreplaceable about turning physical pages and reliving those moments. A beautifully crafted album becomes a family treasure that gets passed down through generations.
Choosing the Right Space
Consider the rooms where your family spends the most time. Living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and even bathrooms can be perfect spots for family portraits. The key is choosing locations where you'll see and enjoy them daily.
Lighting Matters
Avoid hanging portraits in direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time. Instead, choose walls with indirect natural light or add picture lights for a gallery-like presentation.
The Ordering Appointment
During our private ordering appointment, I bring samples of different print types, frames, and albums so you can see and feel the quality in person. I also use digital room mockups to help you visualize exactly how your portraits will look in your specific spaces.
