Hello everyone. I am excited to finally get a new post up of some display ideas for your family photos. I got lots of attention the last time I put a post about this. If you missed it see "Eclectic Wall Display" in the Photography Display Ideas section of our blog. Continue to check that link out, as I will be adding more to it all the time.
Today's idea came from an Australian magazine called Inside Out. I love it! It made me recall what I always tell my clients, "If you are hesitant to hang photos on the wall, do it in pass-through areas and nooks". I've had this concern with a few clients. They don't want their house to be floor to ceiling family photos. So, if you are one of those people, check out this display.

Hallways, stairways and small corners with narrow wall space are perfect pass-through areas to have a family photo gallery. This way, your photos won't overwhelm your main living rooms. You actually make those blank hallways, stairways and tiny nooks feel like a room. They essentially become your very own art gallery. And, the great thing is, you get to look at your pictures every day.
This display is very small and informal. It is in a nook, which leads to a hallway. When you have an area that has space for a table, or in this case, a card catalog, it will give your display a base in which to start with. If you don't have room for a table below, don't worry. It is not necessary. With a gallery display, start at eye level and put pieces along this line as well as above and below this point, playing with the layout until you are happy with it. Just remember, don't hang your art too high. And don't line things up. Stagger your pieces to get a casual feel.
They have mixed other objects with the photos, which I love. And they have mixed sepia with a color photo. It gives the display a bit of whimsy. It looks effortless, informal and simple. I am certain it will get attention from anyone who visits.
If this look is too informal for you, keep checking back in our Photography Display Ideas area for updates. I will be putting a variety of display ideas up in the future. So, I am sure I will have something for everyone's taste.
We had record hits on the blog from my last post on Clothing ideas for your baby's spring photoshoot. These recommendations were for a specific client, however, it seems lots of people enjoyed it. So, I will post more clothing ideas for your little one's next photoshoot soon.
Today's photo is of a very pretty little girl we recently photographed. Isn't she stunning! I will be posting more of her shots soon.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
