Display your newborn portraits in your home so you can always look back on this precious time as your child grows.

After a newborn portrait session, clients return to the studio for their image reveal. Clients get to experience watching their entire gallery before choosing their favorites. Now comes the fun part, deciding how to display these portraits. Guiding my clients through choosing how to display their newborn portraits is one of the best parts of my job!

Below, I offer some tips to get you started and five ideas on how to display your newborn portraits after your session.

Where to Display Your Newborn Portraits

If you’re stuck on where you want to display your portraits, I highly recommend letting yourself daydream about how you want to enjoy these portraits. Do you want to see them in your living room? Do you want to hold them in your hands? Just let yourself envision the portraits where you’ll love them the most!

5 Ideas on How to Display Your Newborn Portraits

Birth Announcements - Sending birth announcements in the mail is such a fun way to celebrate the birth of your child with loved ones. You can keep one for yourself to look back on and remember this time.

Heirloom Baby Album - There’s nothing better than turning the pages of your child’s album and looking through the images together. Custom heirloom albums preserve all of your favorite images, and are professionally bound with a linen cover. These albums can be treasured and passed down through the generations.

Start Your Family Gallery Wall - Start your (growing) storywall with your newborn portraits. It will make you smile every time you walk into the room. You can add to this gallery wall as your child grows. My software allows you to see what these images will look like on your walls before we carefully print, frame and install them.

Showcase Favourites in a Folio - You can display 2-4 of your absolute favourite portraits side by side in a folio. The great thing about a folio is that they open up like a card and are great for resting on a dresser or on top of a piano.

Gifts for Grandparents/Family Members - You can create a keepsake for your child’s grandparents or other special family members. Some clients choose to do a framed portrait, a smaller heirloom album or showcase two or three photos in a folio. This is a beautiful and treasured gift that your loved ones will enjoy every day.
