How to Display Your Newborn Portraits
As an expecting mama, have you heard, “It goes so fast!” or worse, “Don’t blink, they’ll grow before your eyes”?
While there is truth to those statements, it’s not exactly inspiring for a new parent to hear. Yes, bringing home a newborn baby is very busy and sometimes, well, chaotic. There will be moments where you feel incredibly exhausted and moments of pure bliss. Those first few weeks with your newborn have so many sweet moments to savour, AND it’s okay if you’re ready for the next stage.
Let’s put a new spin on telling new parents how fast their baby will grow. While you can’t control how fast your baby will go from a sleepy newborn to an alert baby, there is something you can control: documenting these precious moments.
By documenting the newborn stage, you’re sure to have these moments preserved for the years to come. As your child grows up, you can reflect on your newborn portraits and relive the sweetest moments with your baby.
As a Niagara newborn photographer, I capture these images for my families and create heirloom artwork for them to hold onto the memories of this stage.
Here are five popular ways to display newborn portraits.
5 Ways to Display Your Newborn Portraits
1. The Heirloom Album
Your child’s heirloom album will tell the story of their arrival and welcome while showing you how much love they brought into your life. Imagine snuggling up with your child and turning the pages of their very own album.
2. Grandparent Gifts
Many clients love to create a gift for grandparents with their portraits. A popular option is to create a grandparent album or create a custom-framed portrait for their home. They’ll be able to proudly show off their grandchild with professional, impressive-looking artwork, all without any stress on their plate.
3. Custom Folios
Folios are a beautiful way to display your very favorite images. When I deliver this product to clients’ homes, they typically place it on the mantle, their child’s dresser, or prominently on a shelf in the living area. The beauty of this piece is that it’s mobile and can move around your home as the years go by.
4. Storywall
Create a storywall that tells your family’s story. Some clients love to start their storywalls with their newborn portraits and plan to add pieces over time. Choosing luxury framing products elevates your home’s style while showcasing your newborn’s images.
5. Custom Postcards
Whether you don’t plan on sharing your baby on social media or you simply want to delight loved ones, create and send an announcement postcard. These are a lovely way to share your new baby with family and friends.
