Wall Displays and Frames for your portraits

One of the best parts of the senior portrait experience is creating stylish ways to display your images. Here are some ideas along with a couple of pics from my own home displays.

A Canvas Display for family and sibling portraits

Portraits for the office

A variety of Canvas and Standout size images

Four Custom Framed Series Images in my Hallway

Small Gift sized prints on a ledge with a variety of frames from Room and Board and CB2

Ideas for your Senior Pictures: Digital Frames

All of our clients receive online size images, we call them Connections, for sharing their senior pictures online and on Facebook. You can also add both the video and images to your mobile phone, iphone or ipod touch. These images can also be displayed in digital frames.

There are a lot of options for digital frames and you can get them in most places. There are a couple that I like. The ipad of course, is not just a digital frame, but a mobile device where you can keep all your images.

The Kodak Pulse is another good option. It’s wi-fi enabled and you can download pictures from your facebook profile or from email, just like the ipad.

I would look for a frame that had usb or is wi-fi ready. Amazon has list of top selling digital frames, many pretty reasonably priced.

Vintage Country Senior Portrait Idea

Nardi — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:51:22 +0000

Lindsay’s dress and jean jacket was perfect for the vintage country look. We have lots of outdoor areas right near the studio that have been great for the sumer sessions. Book a summer senior portrait session while there’s still time. See more of Lindsay’s senior pictures on the Facebook Page.

Call to Serve

Nardi — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:00:30 +0000

I came across a cool site on Facebook, Call to Serve about a group volunteers traveling around the country for summer service projects.

The founders raised money to buy and RV to travel across the country to volunteer in communities across the country.

The site documents their journey with photos, pics and stories to raise awareness and encourage people to participate. The organization has grown quite a bit in less then year.

It’s a great story. Not only is their mission impressive, but how they’ve been able to increase awareness and recruit volunteers with very few resources.
