So you’ve just gotten through your session taking some seriously awesome senior pictures. But what now? Sure your senior photos will be great to look at once the photographer gets them back to you. But what exactly do you do with them? How you will display your senior pictures can be overwhelming. One thing we tell everyone we meet: DO SOMETHING WITH THEM! Please do not let them waste away on a hard drive somewhere never to see the light of day. To allow yourself and others to truly appreciate the art that you helped create, here are 7 ways to display senior pictures in your home.
Where To Display Your Senior Photos
To get a better idea of what you will need to properly display those killer senior pics, you first need to consider where you will put them. Frames work well on coffee tables, over fireplaces, on mantles and ledges, or on bookshelves.
Canvas and other large prints can serve as wall art in the living room or a hallway. Is your foyer looking a little bare? The entrance to your home is a great place to add some well placed large prints of the family with your senior photos mixed in.
What about areas like laundry rooms or guest bathrooms? These are excellent places to decorate with small acrylic blocks or image cubes.
1. Albums
Albums are a wonderful way that will allow you to show off some spectacular photos of your grad in an easy and convenient way. They can be tucked away on a coffee table or bookshelf, and pulled out when it’s time to gush over some lovely pics. Keepsake photo albums are also great to gather printed pictures in one place rather than have them loosely scattered around the house.
2. Integrate Senior Pictures With Other Family Photos
A great idea we recommend is sprinkling in some of your senior photos with some other family pictures on the wall. Whether you have framed prints or wrapped canvases, mixing in some jaw-dropping photos of your grad with some other family pictures is a nice way to show the fullness that brings your family together.
3. Special Occasions And Graduation Parties
You did get your senior photography session done in time for grad announcements, right? Of course you did. So let’s put those killer photos to use by using them on graduation announcements and other graduation party decor. Print out some of your favs from your senior session and place them on each table for your graduation party guests to admire. One great idea you can try instead of a guest book is to print out a large photo and have guests sign their name on it. Later you can frame the sign picture and keep it as a memento of your grad’s special day.
4. Photo App for Senior Pictures
Senior photos don’t always have to be printed. Sometimes sharing them digitally works best. Mobile apps are great because you can easily pull up some of your favorite images on a customized gallery directly from your phone or mobile device.
5. Images Boxes To Store And Share Your Senior Photos
Not a fan of albums? That’s cool. You can still get the organizational benefits of an album with the flexibility of individual prints. Images boxes come in various styles, and allow you a visually impressive way to store loose prints.
6. Wall Art for Senior Photos
One of the easiest and best ways to show off your stunning senior pics is to hang them on the wall. Wall art includes large framed prints, canvases, or even acrylic prints. Acrylic prints make great statement pieces to decorate your home. With a Fine Art glossy or metallic print paired with crystal clear acrylic, it’s a modern option your clients will love to highlight a candid photo or memory from their sessionMix and match various sizes to create a story of your incredible senior, or you can place your printed senior photos alongside your other family wall art.
However you choose to display your senior photos, know that it will be an investment well made. This is a special time in you and your senior’s life, so it deserves to be remembered. Printing out those amazing photos will give you endless opportunities to show off your grad-to-be in the best possible way!
