Rescue your memories from the cloud - put them on the wall! Geelong family portrait photographer chats about the importance of personalised wall art.
We’re all guilty of it.
Life gets busy and plans to print the hundreds of candid family snaps on our cameras slip to the bottom of the to-do list. As a family portrait photographer, it’s a story I hear (and sometimes live!) a LOT.
Truth is though, that this fleeting life, especially with a growing family, only makes displaying cherished memories all the more important.
Personalised wall art, whether it be hung over the bed, the couch, on a welcoming wall at the door, or in the children’s play spaces, will bring a life and energy into your home that can’t be overstated, and that’s really and truly beyond compare.
Meaningful family photos to catch your eye as you pass them in the hall help make houses homes, and if you’re like me, may just be what gets you through the toughest and most trying of days.
Framed family photographs are time capsules, gently reminding us why middle-of-the-night cuddles, tripping over Tonkas on your way to the toilet, and grappling with math homework in the kitchen after school (is it just me or have they changed math since I was at school?!) are milestones worth treasuring.
We all worry these moments are passing too quickly; the fear of forgetting the glorious days of being desperately needed is all too real.
Here in lies the beauty of wall art.
It reminds us to stop, reflect and take stock of our chaotic, messy, blissfully imperfect, beautiful ordinary lives.
He really does have her eyes.
At one week old, you could still cradle her in one hand.
Those springy curls (the same ones that fight the hairbrush every morning before school) exude life and playful energy.
You made those itty-bitty toes.
That’s your glorious, beautiful body creating new life.
The fact that natural newborn and pregnancy photos make the best wall art - the way they’re timeless reflections of the love and beauty you’re making, the connections you share, and the legacy you’re leaving - is the reason I encourage my families to choose wall art when we work together. To make it an even easier choice, I happily take 10% off families’ entire order (digital and print inclusive) when they choose to purchase wall art through me when selecting their collections.
Then a few short weeks later, Geelong (and neighbouring regions of Ballarat, Melbourne and Torquay) have wall art delivered directly to their door, ready to display.
A favourite is the frame you see above.
Its classic, warm white mount and sleek raw Tasmanian Oak frame add a romantic nostalgia to any room, and will make you smile every time you catch sight of them.
Kids grow too fast. Life goes too quickly.
Ordering your wall art with your digital collections means that having to arrange a piece of personalised art doesn’t even hit your to-do list.
Let me take care of that.
It means that once our in-home photo session has captured that unique energy of your family, you can sit back and revel in the magic of parenthood.
The time capsules we make will preserve the pitter-patter of first steps, long after those feet have grown to fit teenage shoes, and will mean your memories are safe and sound on the wall, ready and waiting each time you need them.
Now, what could be better than that..?
