Yes, there are the standard prints you can order to put in frames. But what are some other ways to display photos from your session? The options are endless, but I finally took some photos of a few that I've come to love.
First up, the image box. A nice alternative to a more traditional album, I can create a custom box with an image from your session on the cover and your favorite images of the session (probably 20-25) printed on styrene to go inside. Recognize this little one-year-old? One of my very first sessions.

And a shot of the prints inside -- each with a border around the photo.

I'm partial to this view of the back.
Now on to wall displays. Many of you know that I am planning on giving birth at home. We moved into one of the back bedrooms of the house to give Wally a room, but Trevor insisted that we didn't have time to paint the walls. Give (or recover from) birth in a blank builder-beige room? Not me! So we created our shrine to Abigail.
We mixed prints printed on different materials to create a little depth in our grouping. Here you can see a photo on styrene that we mounted using a wood block to make it lift off of the wall. Underneath is one of our stand-outs. The edges are black and are 3/4" thick. I love that we didn't need frames for any of these.
A closer view of a couple stand-outs. I think these are sized as 16x24. A little 8x10 just doesn't cut it for me anymore. I want to see my photos BIG!
The "fresh fruit" photo is printed on matboard and hangs smoothly against the wall. Simple, modern, and easy.
Once our wall grouping was complete, I turned my attention to the opposite wall. Trevor built me this shelf, and it is a great place to display a mix of framed and unframed prints as well as some of Abby's artwork. I just need to get some flowers for the vase.
Recognize this? The shot that makes the header of my blog, but printed as a 16x20 standout. It leans against the wall nicely.
