Wall art is a lovely addition to any home, it fills the room with beautiful memories and smiling faces and creates an overall atmosphere of joy. Not only does it bring all these wonderful feelings, it looks great and makes your children feel great too! How awesome?

Think about it, when your child brings you a photo of something they’ve drawn, you proudly hang it up on the fridge or on a cupboard as a way of saying you love it and you are proud of it.

In your child’s mind this computes to say that, ‘my parents love anything they hang up on the wall’ 

David Krauss, a licensed psychologist tells us that, “It is really important to show a family as a family unit. It is so helpful for children to see themselves as a valued and important part of that family unit.”

He further stated that photos on the wall help children to understand how they fit into the family and it’s story, it makes them feel as though they belong. 

This is especially true if the photo includes other members of the family. Studies show that children’s favourite photos in the home are the ones that include their family – there is no real reason for this, but it is likely due to that feeling of belonging that children love. 

In this age digital photos are becoming the norm, rather than opting to hang up prints or canvases in the home it is found that many keep the photos to themselves or share them with family over social media. It is far less common for family photos filled with grinning children and happy memories to be displayed in the home.

As a photographer, I find this fact quite upsetting as I know from my own experience that my daughters love the photos we have of all of us in the home. My youngest often comments on the photo of her doing a ‘super baby pose’ when she was much younger and that’s become something she finds a lot of joy in.

I wholeheartedly believe that photos should be displayed in the home, not only to create a beautiful atmosphere and fill a space with wonderful memories, but to boost children’s confidence.  It is for this reason that I do not offer digital only purchase options with my main packages.   All purchase options include prints to go with the digital files you purchase. I urge you to frame them and display them around your home!  

A statementl piece of wall art is also a wonderful addition to your family home.  A large family image of everyone together shows unity and love between you all.  Wall art is an investment in your family and will hang on your wall for many many years.  My fairy image of my 2 girls has hung proudly over my fire place for 7 years now and i’m sure it will be there for many many more.  To me the image is priceless and the cost minimal for all the years of enjoyment it has and will continue to give me.
