Seeing your family’s love not only in a folder on your computer but also on your walls, in your hands, and woven throughout your daily surroundings is a wonderful thing. After your session, the real magic happens: transforming those quiet, joy-filled moments into tangible portraits.
But one of the questions I often get asked is: “Where should we display our portraits?”
Honestly, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Every home (and every family) is different. But I do have a few favorite spots I often recommend. These are places that naturally invite you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.

Ideas Where to Display Your Family Portraits in Your Home
1. The Living Room
The living room is usually the center of the house. It is a gathering space for movie nights, morning snuggles, and everyday connection. It’s a beautiful place to display a large statement piece or a curated gallery wall.
Over the couch, above the fireplace, or beside a window with soft natural light are all wonderful spots. I can help you select the right size and layout for your space, whether you’re leaning toward one large, framed portrait or a series of smaller prints that tell a fuller story.
2. The Entryway
Greeting yourself and your guests with a visual reminder of your family’s love the moment you walk through the door can have a powerful impact. The mood of your entire house is set by your entryway.
A small gallery of black-and-white portraits, a narrow ledge with framed prints, or a simple, matted image above a console table can create a warm, welcoming moment that quietly says, “This is who we are.”
3. The Primary Bedroom
This is your sanctuary. It is the space where your days begin and end. I love seeing clients hang tender, quiet portraits in their bedroom. A close-up of your baby’s face. A photo of your family wrapped in a blanket. A soft, sunlit image of you holding your child close.
These intimate images feel right at home here and serve as a daily reminder of the deep love and connection that lives within your four walls.
4. The Nursery or Kids’ Room
There’s nothing sweeter than seeing a child grow up surrounded by visual reminders of how loved they are. Whether it’s a framed image from their newborn session, a series of milestone portraits, or a playful photo of them giggling with their siblings, it belongs in their space.
These portraits become part of their story. Something they grow up seeing, connecting to, and cherishing.
5. Hallways and Staircases
Oftentimes, the most overlooked spaces can become the most meaningful. Hallways and staircases are perfect for building out a timeline, starting with maternity or newborn portraits and adding to it as your family grows.
These in-between spaces create a beautiful flow through your home, reminding you (and everyone who walks through) of the journey you’ve taken together.

During your ordering appointment, I’ll help you decide how and where to display your images, whether it’s a statement piece, a gallery wall, or a keepsake album that lives on your coffee table.
These portraits are more than decoration. They’re reminders of who you are, what you’ve built, and the beauty of the season you’re in.
