Anyone who has been in our home or since we’ve moved so much in the last year, our homes knows that I have an addiction to BIG prints. Our living room wall is covered in four 16×20′s, our bedroom has one big 16×24, and that’s just the start of it. I do kind of laugh when someone refers to an 8×10 as a BIG print, because I’ve gotten to the point that those are my little prints. A print with some size can really make a statement in a room. That, and everything I print, I print because I love it or the person/people in it and don’t want to have to get right up next to the picture to really enjoy it.
When I was back in Colorado I went over to Kayte’s home (this is her little guy) to figure out what she wanted to order. She showed be the wall that she wanted to put the shots up on and we figured out a wall arrangement with some big images that are going to be beautiful in their home. If you have a spot picked out for the images, let me help you figure out the best way to display them and the best sizes for your spot.
When I buy or shoot new pictures and go to print them, I view them as an investment. They aren’t just going to be around for a year or two, I hope that I can pass them down and have them be as treasured as I hold my grandparent’s and parent’s pictures.
Here is the arrangement that we came up with for Kayte. The b&w center image is a 16×24 and the long skinny prints are 10×20′s. I can’t wait to see this up!
Look for a bunch of new stuff on the blog throughout this week. Tomorrow is going to be a busy workday. I figured I better get it all done tomorrow before our season starts Thursday!
