The Value of Printing and Displaying Your Images

Portrait Sessions and Printing Service

Printed family, kids, and couple’s photos to show the value of printing and displaying your images.

Printed or digital pictures just have a way of connecting with us in a meaningful and unique way. Whether printing and displaying your images to hang in your home or cherishing your memories from your phone, they serve as a tangible reminder of your family’s deep love and connection with one another!

Why Printing and Displaying Your Images Is Valuable

A family photo by Farler Turben from Thru My Eyes Photography in Union City, PA, has hung in our home since 2016. At times, my brother, Caleb, will jump up on the bed and stare at this picture, rubbing our faces and asking questions as he marvels at how much he and I have grown.

HOW FAMILY PHOTOS REMIND CHILDREN OF THEIR FAMILY’S LOVE AND CONNECTION

We never fully understood why Caleb felt so connected to that picture until we attended a webinar for photographers with Dan McClanahan, who owns McClanahan Studio in Ames, LA. He explained that his kids would also marvel at a canvas in their home, linking the tangible of seeing the love and connection in their family photo to their love and connection with one another. He described that it fills him and his family with joy to view their pictures on the walls of their home seeing their memories1. McClanahan shared an Instagram post from Rod Evans from Evans Portraits in Sioux Falls about four ways having family photos displayed in the home can correlate to children’s self-esteem:

01. SENSE OF BELONGING

When kids see a portrait on the wall as a reminder that their family is there for them, it can help to boost their self-confidence and give them a strong sense of belonging.

02. BUILDING IDENTITY

By seeing a photograph of their family on the wall, children can develop an understanding of who they are and where they come from. It helps them to build a strong identity and gives them something tangible that they can relate to.

03. A SOURCE OF PRIDE

Seeing these photographs on the wall-especially when family members are present-reminds kids that their parents and siblings love them and take pride in who they are.

04. A LASTING MEMORY

Family wall portraits provide kids with a lasting memory of their childhood. Seeing a photograph of their younger selves can be [a] reminder that they are growing up and help them to understand how far they have come.”2

THE IMPACT THAT FAMILY PICTURES HAD ON OUR FAMILY

After listening to that webinar, we understood why that canvas was so important to Caleb. He saw our love and connection in our family photo and linked it with our love and connection with one another. As he looked at that canvas, he cherished that special season in our lives, reminding him of our precious memories together and how loved and treasured he is.

Since Caleb and I are much older now, our family was thinking about updating that canvas to capture our current season, but Caleb asked what we would do with it. We responded by saying that we’d probably put it in storage, but he immediately felt sad and asked if he could hang it in his room 🙂 It made us realize how important that photo is to him, so for now, the canvas will stay where it hangs 🙂

A JHP Family Story

We were blessed to capture the Fischer Family’s joyful, timeless photos at our outdoor portrait location, highlighting nature’s beauty! During their family portrait session, Jason and Tracy showered their kiddos with love, encouragement, and patience, enriching their experience!

THE FISCHER FAMILY’S PRINT STORY

Before her family’s session, Tracy shared that she wanted to print her photographs and hang them on her wall, so we were excited to help her accomplish her goal! She also coordinated her family’s outfits and accessories with light, neutral colors that complement her home décor to prepare for her session. After we captured their family portraits, Jason and Tracy scheduled a fun family adventure with their kiddos! By connecting an exciting, memorable experience with their photos, Jason and Tracy made them more meaningful because their family can remember their precious memories together and relive that joy when they see their pictures!

After we delivered her images, Tracy selected photos for her display and printed them in a variety of sizes with a high-quality finish to complement her simple white frames with cream matting. She and Jason thoughtfully designed the frames on their walls while their kiddos slept to surprise them, creating more excitement and memories! When Tracy revealed them to her boys the following morning, she explained that they stared at and touched the photos, giggling at seeing themselves hanging on the walls of their home and treasuring their special moments together! Even her little one-year-old daughter’s eyes widened when she saw the photos!

Sharing their precious moments, Jason and Tracy gifted prints to their grandparents so they could see their kiddos grow. Giving printed or digital photos to loved ones can help them see their impact and their legacy of love grow through generations!

THE IMPACT OF PRINTING AND DISPLAYING THEIR PHOTOS

How Jason and Tracy displayed their photos brings us joy because we can see how they deeply love and cherish each other and their family. When we see their pictures, their dedication, patience, and kindness with one another display their legacy of love as a couple and their strong love and connection with their three little blessings! Similar to our story of how Caleb valued seeing our family photo on the wall, it warms our hearts that they, too, got to hang their meaningful memories on their walls to treasure forever!

The Fischer Family’s story encompasses why we recommend that all families, whether we have the honor of photographing them, print their photos and hang them on their walls! Printing their photos can immensely impact their families, helping build them stronger one memory at a time! Therefore, we want every family to experience this same joy and be built stronger!

IMAGINE THE IMPACT OF PRINTING AND DISPLAYING YOUR PICTURES

Imagine gathering with your loved ones one day after your children have grown, holding your photos close. As each picture brings a smile to your face, you’ll reminisce about your precious moments together and remember your deep love and connection, cherishing your blessings. Your kiddos (who aren’t so little anymore) will light up when they see their childhood or senior milestones and remember how treasured they are!

“Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT). Each loving memory leaves a greater impact than you’ll ever know! As your family cherishes your precious moments hanging on your walls or in a digital format each day, we pray you’ll create lasting memories, remember each season’s priceless blessings, and feel your strong love and connection with one another- even when life happens! By displaying your family’s meaningful moments, your legacy of love, or your senior’s milestone and sharing those memories, you’re not just showcasing “pretty pictures,” you’re helping build your family stronger one memory at a time!
