Finding the Correct Wall Art Size

Most people tend to struggle with choosing what size photos to hang on their walls.  Our generation tends to like big, bold statement pieces of wall art. But our parents, on the other hand, were all about the 8x10s. 

Remember going to your grandparents' houses? They always had a ton of 4x6s in these tiny little frames — rows behind rows of their many grandchildren, all crowded together on one table!

Here at Indy Family Photo, we’re always eager to lend a helping hand.  And choosing the right size of wall art is one of our many specialties so you don’t end up with this:

Instead, we’ll steer you in the right direction so you end up with this:

And in the meantime, here are five ways we know we can help to get you the wall art you’ve been waiting for!

5 Ways WE Help YOU Choose the Right Frame Size

1. Our Sample Collection

We have samples of wall art in many ratios and sizes.  You’ll walk away with a good idea of how big a piece looks and how big someone’s face might look printed in the size.

2. No Guesswork

We can create renderings just like the ones shown above to give you an idea of how big a piece will look in your space.  That way, there’s no guesswork involved!

3. Renderings from Your Home

Even better, you (or we) can take a quick snapshot of a wall in your home and create a to-scale wall mockup of your images in your space.  You’ll know exactly how your finished art will look — and whether or not it’s appropriately sized.

4.Multiple Collections

We can recommend multiple sizes that go well together for a collection of multiple pieces of wall art.  You won’t be stuck figuring out dimensions on your own.

5. Complimentary Installation

We even offer complimentary installations with any wall art purchases.  We WANT this to be as easy as possible for you!

We are confident that we will help you make the right choices about wall art size so that it’s sized correctly for YOUR space and scaled appropriately to fit with YOUR home decor.

Inside a Portrait Order

Photo sessions don’t end when the camera is put away. In fact, that’s only the beginning of the process. When you book a family photo session or a kid’s photography session, the photoshoot itself is just the beginning. About two weeks after your session, you’ll return to the studio for a viewing and ordering appointment… and that’s when the magic really begins.

Inside a Portrait Order

At your ordering appointment, you’ll get a chance to review all the completed images from your ordering session. That’s where together, we’ll create the perfect combination of digital files, custom photo albums, and heirloom-quality wall art to complete your order. By creating custom albums and wall art, we can create products to display your finished images in a way that best suits your family, your style, and the photos from your session.

The Greene Family booked an extended family portrait session and it was wonderful to be able to capture so many generations of one family. To commemorate these beautiful photos, they chose a fingerprint-proof album with display box and a large piece of Italian wall art for Grandma and Grandpa. The kids all shared the digital files from the photo session to make smaller prints.

Heirloom Quality Italian Wall Art

This is a fairly common order for family sessions involving an extended family. Everyone gets to enjoy and share the digital images, but Grandma and Grandpa get to enjoy the huge and beautifully printed products every day. These printed art pieces are very practical products. It’s an ideal size and scale to hang one statement piece over the fireplace to celebrate their family.

The canvas is expertly hand-finished in Italy and printed with eco-friendly ink. It’s mounted on a solid frame, so that there is no rippling of the canvas during the change of seasons or shifts in humidity within the home. With this high-quality canvas, you can't rip a hole in it if a kiddo accidentally throws a football or toy into it. (Which would never happen, right? Hah!) Each corner is precisely and carefully folded for a pristine finish and it even comes with a signed certificate of authenticity on the back. These gorgeous Italian wall art pieces are easy to hang, but complimentary installation is included with your purchase!

Thank you to the Greene family for trusting me to capture your family session. I’m sure Grandma and Grandpa will love seeing all of your smiling faces in this show-stopping wall display.

An Indy Family Photo Session is the perfect way to capture your real smiles, real laughter, and real family moments together. For more information about our family sessions and our Italian wall art, feel free to reach out!

Product Highlight: Photo Albums

Photographs are meant to be seen and enjoyed. When I meet with families here at the Indy Family Studio, we begin with the end in mind, talking about how you would like to enjoy the images we capture during your photography session. So often, photographs end up saved on a device or your Instagram feed… and are never seen again. One of the best ways to enjoy your photographs is in a beautifully designed photo album!

Featured Product: Photo Albums

Today, I wanted to talk about the photo albums we offer. Our albums are amazing. These photo albums are far better than anything you can get at a 24-hr photo place, or even a large photography goods website. Indy Family Photo is a professional photography studio, which means we have access to the top print labs in the country. We’ll make sure you get a finished product of utmost quality.

Photo Album Features:

When I say “photo album” you might think of the thick, yellowing books from the 80’s that your grandparents keep. But today’s technology has evolved. A photo album is now a gorgeous keepsake that can be enjoyed and shared for years to come.

High-Quality Pages

These albums have thick pages and lay-flat panorama spreads for those show-stopping moments that capture your children’s personalities. They are printed on archival paper, keeping your images looking perfect up to 100-200 years before any signs of yellowing. The pages are fingerprint-proof (because we love the intersection of quality and practicality!), which gorgeous linen, leather, velvet, or sued cover options.

Custom Layout and Design

When it comes to designing the photo album, there’s no need for you to spend your precious time figuring out the layout, which photos to put on which pages, getting the borders just right, and the order of the photos. Our photographer-designed albums are done completely for you! There is no need for you to spend your time designing an album when you could be spending time with your family - we make it as easy and convenient as possible.

Create a Family Keepsake

Portraits are meant to be enjoyed for years, and albums are a fantastic way to share images with your little ones. As they grow up, move out, and come back to visit, they'll still pull out old photo albums to relive those memories.

Complimentary Photo Album

I feel so strongly about the importance of photo albums that all digital file purchases of ten images or more come with a complimentary photo album. I WANT you to enjoy them for the rest of your life!!

At Indy Family Photo, we will walk every step of the way with you from booking your photoshoot through selecting and purchasing your favorite images. Are you ready to make some beautiful photo memories? Make sure to schedule a consultation today.
