Ideas for Displaying Your Photos

So you’ve had your photo session, purchased your digital images and although you may be interested in ordering prints, you are stuck…..stuck wondering how to display your lovely images.  Sound familiar?

I completely understand that going through your gallery of images and trying to figure out what to print and in what format can be somewhat overwhelming.  But I am here to help!  These days there are so many great print options, from standout mounts to metal prints, stretched canvas to framed prints, there is no reason that those photos should sit on your computer.   You need to deck the walls!

So here you go, a behind the scenes look at my house and how I’ve displayed my photos.  As you can see, my kids faces are scattered throughout my house and I LOVE it.  I’m a photographer and their mother, so it was bound to happen!

First up, my front room.  In this photo, you’ll see some metal prints (8×10)  on the left hand side and traditional paper prints (8×10) framed in frames I picked up at Michael’s on the right.  My idea with the framed photos was to keep adding one each year…..I must fess up…..I’m behind a year.   Oh and I think it is ok to mix and match the style of framing as long as the grouping is the same.

In my dining room, above the sideboard, I printed 3 similar 8×10 photos (which are not of my kids) and framed them in very cool 16×16 square frames that I picked up at Aaron Brothers.   I love how they look grouped together.  Imagine using 3 similar photos of your child grouped like this!

Standout mounts are one of my favorite ways to display photos.  They are lightweight, easy to hang and stand out (hence the name) 3/4″ from the wall (I have these hung using velcro mounts from 3M).  I love that they are frameless and have a modern yet traditional look.  The grouping on the left contains one 16×20 and (4) 8×10 photos and the group on the right  is (2) 16×20 with (2) 11×14 standout mounts in the middle.  Actually the bottom 16×20 is a stretched canvas but it matched the theme so well that I didn’t mind it being different.

I hope these photos gave you some ideas of what we can do at your home with your beautiful images.  Let’s get together soon and get those photos off your computer and on your wall!  I’m happy to bring over these samples and play around with ideas and help you create the perfect collection for your home.

Change is hard… but it’s also really good.

After years in Silicon Valley, we made the move to wine country—and it already feels like exactly where we are meant to be. Slower mornings, more space, and a chance to breathe a little deeper.

One thing that pushed us to make the leap was the unexpected loss of a dear friend. Her passing was a heartbreaking reminder that life is short. We don’t always get “someday.”

So here’s your nudge from me: whatever’s on your heart, just do it. Don’t wait. Life is meant to be lived. 💕

Cheers to new chapters, more beauty, and saying yes. 🍷🍇🍷

I should be packing for our move…

But instead, I’m here having a blast at my latest branding shoot!

Swapping cardboard boxes for creativity feels like the right choice, don’t you think?

Packing can wait—this is way more fun.

I have big news to share……

We are moving at the end of the month! Eek! I’ve been quiet here on social media because the last month I have been busy with Goodwill runs, packing and planning! It is a lot of work to pack up a house you’ve lived in for nearly 21 years as a family of six! 😅

But we are trading the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley for country living in wine country. 🍷🍇

I’ll still be working with clients on branding photo shoots and social media management but it may look a little different.

My husband and I are super excited for this new chapter in our life. And our kids are enthusiastic too! I have a dear friend who has been with me along this journey and while I’m a little nervous about the move (but mostly excited), I keep hearing her words whispered in my ear….”if not now, then when?”

So here we go!!! 🍇🍷🍇🍷
