Wall Gallery - Print it, Hang it, Love it - ~See Shel's Photography - Saskatoon Photographer~

Are you like many of the families in Saskatoon whose family photos are currently sitting on a disc beside the computer? Sure, you've shared a few of your favourites on facebook, sent an email to your Aunts with a couple but now what?

It's scary to commit!  Let me help make it just a bit easier - a wall gallery sounds more intimidating than it really is -- it is YOUR wall gallery - YOU get to make (and change) the rules! Find your favourites, get them printed (if doing yourself in Saskatoon I suggest using www.donsphoto.com --- or go to your photographer, we have access to professional printers who use materials that not only last but will give a true colour and depth to your fabulous portraits!)  Grab some frames - your choice, all matchy? Eclectic? Maybe frameless and go with Canvas Wraps? Maybe a mix of both? The sky is the limit - the true goal is to create something you can look at each day and smile, remembering the fun in the sun or just how little they were at that time...... or how you thought life was tough before they knew how to walk and talk ;)  

Mamas - don't worry about it being perfect - get it up there so you can remember together, let go of the guilt and just be! Pictures were meant to be looked at and shared - don't let them sit!

Hang it! ~See Shel's Photography~

So, you have the disc of photos from your photographer --- now what?? My sessions all come with a set of 4x6 prints, this is for a few reasons - one being there's something just awesome about flipping through a stack of photos --- it's fun seeing them on the screen but to physically hold those precious images holds a whole new experience!

Another huge bonus to having them is for planning out your storyboard, album, or photo display -- to see what looks good where, to narrow down your favourites. I'm always looking for new inspiration in photo displays and pinterest is again, a treasure trove of fun! I came across this little ditty this morning:

These are printed on canvas wraps, but this could easily be replicated through mounted prints, framed prints or float wraps!

We experienced a huge family trip out to Kenora, Ontario this summer and in a few weeks we are flying out to Victoria, BC -- this photo configuration is in my mind and would make a perfect memory display! :)
