After the session is complete and the images have been selected, the next big project begins. Where do you put your amazing new photographs? There are some standard places that work well - the family gallery wall (usually up the stairs or along a hallway), over the fireplace or in the living room. Then there are the places we tend to forget - the playroom, children's rooms, the bathroom and kitchen. Bathroom you say?! Actually yes, I have seen people do very cool displays in a dressing room, a walk-in closet and even the bathroom.

Over the next few months I am going to show you guys where some of my clients have put their portrait art to help give you some ideas and inspiration. First up is a tricky stairwell spot. This stairwell has all rounded walls except for this little nook that the builder very thoughtfully installed. The nook is about 58" x 60" (+/- a few). This client had images from a maternity session, a newborn session, a session with her daughter, a family image and an image of the 2 children together. We had printed the two collages that you see on the lower right and left already as well as the maternity image on the upper left.

She told me about the nook in her stairwell and gave me the measurements. From there I figured out how big the remaining images should be to fill up the space and we printed them and installed it for her. It was a tricky hanging job because they had to fit in just right. All of these images are printed onto canvas (we call them gallery wraps). I think it worked out really nicely and Mom was happy too!

The smallest image in this set is 15x18 (the two collages- lower right and left)

The image of the 2 children is 16x20

The maternity image is about 16x24 and the family is 20x24

Here is the entire stairwell:

Do you have any images of great photo displays? I'd love to see them!
