They deserve to be seen and displayed, not stored away in a digital folder on your computer. In this article I’m sharing some of my favorite ways to display family portraits in your home so you can relive the joy of them over and over again!

Albums

If you love reliving the moments that make up your family’s story, an album is a perfect choice. Albums let you piece together all those special memories, big and small, into one beautiful keepsake. The best part? Albums come in all kinds of styles and sizes, from petite 6×6 books to grand 12×12 beauties, so you can pick the one that feels right for your space. And you can even choose cover options to match your decor—so your album doesn’t just hold memories; it becomes part of your home’s vibe. Perfect for the coffee table or a cozy spot on the shelf!

Framed Single Prints & Gallery Walls

Framed Single Prints

Framed prints – also known as Wall Art – is one of the most popular ways to display photos in your home. A single, stunning photo in a large frame can make any room feel extra special. Whether it’s the family all together or a sweet, quiet moment, that one image can become the heart of the room. And don’t worry if you’re unsure about frames or placement—I’ve got you covered with some easy tips on picking the perfect frame, matting, and spot to make it shine..

Gallery Walls

If you’re like me and you have a hard time choosing just ONE photo for your wall, the, a gallery wall could be the perfect option for you! This is one of my favorite ways to show off a mix of family portraits. You can experiment with different sizes and frames to create a look that feels totally you. And a gallery wall is something you can add to over time—new photos, new memories, new stories to share. It’s like a living scrapbook that grows with your family.

Canvas Prints & Other Unique Displays

Canvas Prints

If framed prints feel a bit “old school” for your style, then opting for a modern canvas print is an alternative option. They’ve got that lovely texture and a frameless look that feels artsy and fresh. I especially love them for areas like the living room, nursery, or even down a hallway. Canvas prints make it easy to go big without worrying about framing, so you can make a statement piece that really pulls you into the moment.

Cards & Other Creative Options

Think holiday cards, thank-yous, birth announcements—all super fun ways to share your family’s photos with loved ones. Or maybe you want to go bold with custom wallpaper (imagine a photo wall in a playroom!) or digital displays that cycle through your favorite snapshots..
