Family photographs capture our most memorable moments in life. It’s such a shame that many people forget to truly make the most of them whether it be on walls, bookshelves, or shared with loved ones.
I know that not every moment of motherhood is all rainbows and sunshine, but you wouldn’t change it for the world, would you?
Having family photographs around your home provides a sense of belonging not only for yourself but also for your children.
Whether you have a maternity photoshoot or family photographs, you deserve to make the most of these magical memories. So, here are some ideas of what to do with your family photographs.

Print Your Images
Don’t let your family photographs sit on a hard drive or USB stick being unloved and not enjoyed. You have invested in a professional family photographer to capture those authentic and magical moments and connections between you and your loved ones, so it is important to appreciate them as much as possible.
Get your family photographs printed professionally, so you can enjoy the at the highest quality.
Frame Them
Style your family photographs around your home. Purchase some beautiful frames that match the aesthetic of your home and let them take pride of place around the house. Whether this is by creating a photo gallery wall, or if you prop them on your shelves – you can get creative!
As well as styling your family photographs, they are also important for making your home, a home. When you have family photographs taken by a professional, you’re investing in memories, so by framing and displaying your favourite photographs around the house, it really gives a loving and homely element to your home.
There is actually a study by Professor Geoff Beattie who majored in psychological science at the University of Manchester, he stated that “photographs keep us linked to others and gives a sense of belonging. Particularly children, they see a photo of themselves high up on a wall. It’s all part of the socialising process.”
Ensuring your children feel loved, recognised and appreciated is important, so this is the perfect thing to do with your family photographs.
Send to Family and Friends
Your family photographs are a lovely gift for family and friends. We all know how much grandparents, aunties and even close friends love your children as much as you do, and they would highly appreciate receiving gorgeous images that they can frame, or simply have in their phone or photo album.
How often are your parents bugging you for updated family photographs? Treat them with professional family photographs that showcase your families love story.
Create a Family Photo Album
Creating a family photo album is a lovely way to remember your memories. It is creative, fun and having something tactile in your hands makes those captured moments even more precious.
You can’t trust technology all of the time and the fear of losing those precious memories is unmatched. So instead of storing your images on your phone, computer or a hard drive, make sure to get them printed. Why not create a few photo albums, for yourself, your children or as presents for grandparents and friends.
There’s nothing better than looking back through old photographs. Sitting together as a family and flicking through your favourite photo albums, remembering those moments spent together. Nostalgia is a magical thing isn’t it? That ability to reminisce and remember with feeling of tales of past years.
