One of the best parts about having a family session in Athens is showing off your family photos! I always encourage my clients to create heirloom items from their family sessions that they can pass down for generations. Not only is this a great way to cherish those memories, but it’s great for kids to see themselves within the home as well!
One of my favorite testimonials comes from my client Claire, who told me, “I love the way my children adore looking at the albums we create together. I can tell they are so proud to see themselves captured in such a beautiful way. These pictures start dialogues in our family about love and commitment and the beautiful bond of family.” I love this idea, and I’m so happy that Claire and her family get joy from going through their family sessions!
Kids love to see themselves represented in the home. It tells them that they’re important and you’re proud of them. It can help to raise their confidence and self-esteem because they see themselves in beautiful photographs with their family. Plus, those family photos can help them remember the amazing time you spent together during your sessions.
I’ve written before about how yearly sessions are so important, and it’s true! Your kids can watch themselves grow through the years through heirloom albums, and a yearly session tells them you’re interested in capturing them as they are. So, I always recommend having a yearly or bi-yearly family session and creating a fine art book for each session.
One of my favorite heirloom products is albums because they’re so versatile and beautiful! I offer a variety of options for my clients so they can choose what they love, and I always recommend an heirloom fine art album.
A book or album can hold many images and showcase more of a “story” and the nuances of your family’s personalities and relationships. It’s my favorite way to preserve my family photos, and I adore the idea of them becoming cherished heirlooms for my family.
Our fine art books are a slimmer version of our albums and are perfect for creating a gorgeous collection of family “volumes.” Having something tangible to hold in your hands and flip through together is important!
The most powerful thing for a child is to see images of themselves and their family DAILY; the easiest way to do that is to have some gorgeous gallery walls designed with your images. I love creating a statement wall with various pictures from different years. You can also switch out the photos in your frames every few years. It’s worth investing in quality frames so that they last a lifetime.
Our complimentary design consultations take the guesswork out of designing your walls. We take a photo of your space and show you exactly how things will look before ordering. We will help you determine which images work best together and which products best suit your home’s aesthetic.
For a tabletop option and something really sweet to decorate a child’s room, we have 5×7 image blocks. Instead of a frame, this is a print wrapped around a wooden block that stands on its own. These are lightweight yet sturdy, so they’re perfect for kiddos or to give as family gifts.
However you want to display your family photos in Athens, we can help you! It’s so important to have those heirlooms you can pass down and gallery walls showing your kids how beautiful they are.
