After you download your images, what do you do with them? Do you print them out and stick them in an album or scrapbook them? Do you enlarge it and frame it? Or do you keep them on your hard drive only to be seen again on your computer’s screen saver when it is on idle? (I only mention that one because I am guilty of it!)
Instead of waiting to put them in albums or scrapbook them, why not showcase them by putting them on your wall? You don’t have to go big to make it stand out.
This is what I call the boys’ “Wall of Fame”. I have 8 images (2 of each boy) displayed. They are printed at 8x10 and framed. It is a great to show them “through the years”.
A recent family had this great idea to do a poster size image of her newborn. What was even cooler was her idea to have four of them printed with different words going across the center in a light pink color.
Here it is not yet up on the wall. I will have to take a picture of the completed wall display so you can see the full affect of it, but it turned out beautiful on their wall!!
Another thing that she had me create was a storyboard with images from her baby’s newborn session. I love this idea. I may need to go back and create one for each of my boys. =)
Don’t be scared to use your images as wall art. It is not only a great way to showcase your beautiful children, but you also get to cover up some of those bare walls (or dents and holes heehee).

Thanks for the inspiration Michelle! My walls are bare.
I could not agree with you more. Our photographs are meant to be displayed, not hidden away on our computers or on memory cards.
