Finding the Perfect Way to Display Your Portraits

We often get asked for recommendations on how to display the wall portraits that we create for our family portrait clients. There are many fun and unique things to do with your photos; you may want to hang them in traditional frames or canvases, make a photo collage, or maybe even do something entirely unique. No matter what you decide to do we can help you select the perfect materials and the right sizes for your portraits.

Studio Portraits for the Buchanan Family

Family Portrait in the Studio

This is another quick share to show an example image from a recent family portrait session that I did in my Calgary photography studio. I don’t use the high key white backdrop very often but when I do the results are always great. This family was lots of fun and they were ready whenever I suggested a new pose. I use this arrangement lots when I do outdoor family sessions but prior to this session I really hadn’t done it inside. It turned out so great that I will definitely be posing more families like this in the future.

Calgary Winter Family Portrait Sessions

Loyva Family Portraits

Family Portraits at Highwood Golf Course

I wanted to share a few images from a Christmas Card family portrait session I did with the Loyva Family in December. We met at the Highwood Golf Course in High River before their company Christmas social party. The club house at the golf course was beautifully decorated for Christmas and so we took advantage of that to make some great family portraits for their Christmas cards. We also went outside to do a few images in the beautiful soft winter light. Although these outdoor portraits are very wintery, they aren’t as seasonal as the Christmas themed photos and will be great for displaying in their home throughout the year.

Extended Cowan Family Fall Portrait Session at Edworthy Park in Calgary (1)

Fall Family Portraits

Fall at Edworthy Park

Edworthy Park is a wonderful location for Calgary Fall Portrait sessions. It’s a nicely sheltered park down in the river valley and the leaves all collect into huge piles that are fun to run, jump, and play in. There is plenty of color around and it’s really easy to get active kids and families in on the action. Everyone has a great time throwing leaves at each other which makes them happy enough to do a few great posed family portraits too.

Fall Family Portrait Session at Confederation Park

We have had another beautiful fall season in Calgary and I was lucky to be able to spend it with a number of wonderful families in parks all over the city. One of my favorite things about being a portrait photographer in Calgary is that I get to see lots of great parks in all the seasons.

The image above was created at Confederation Park in the north west. The trees there always seem to hold their leaves far longer than the rest of the city and so it’s a great location for late fall photography sessions. See below for a beautiful slideshow with more images from this family.
