Nowadays there are hundreds of photos on every smartphone—we capture those big events and the precious moments of daily life with one click of a DSLR or a smart device. That means our family photo archives are constantly growing, with most of our photos just piling up on computer hard disks. What to do with them all?

5 Ideas for a Home Family Art Gallery

1. An Activity-Centered Photoshoot

Family is all about shared experiences and memories, right? And since posed studio portraits can’t always do justice to the real family spirit, it’s worth trying a less traditional approach. One of the best options is an activity-centered photoshoot that captures those real emotions you can only get when living in the moment.

The activity can be pretty much anything—skiing, cuddling your dog, baking, decorating a Christmas tree, hiking, swimming…whatever your family loves to do the most!

2. A Set of Photo Portraits

If you only get photo portraits taken when you’re replacing your passports, it might be time to change your habits. You can approach family portraits in a number of ways: formal or informal; full, half, or three-quarter length; in intimate close-up or at a studied distance.

One quirky idea that can work great is a hands-and-feet concept—no make-up required! Just bear in mind that any set of family portraits will look best if it keeps to a consistent style and color palette.

3. A Showcase of Family Hobbies

The best portraits capture not just a person’s face, but their character too—and our hobbies can tell so much about us. Try taking each family member’s photo in the place they feel most comfortable, doing what they love the most. It can really bring out their true personality! Again, try to stick to a unified visual theme and sympathetic colors.

4. A Cosplay Photoshoot

If your family is a fan of geek culture like many of my family members are, bust out those cosplay outfits for an epic photoshoot and a unique photo gallery that exhibits your nerd side and creative talents simultaneously. Since you can be Disneybounding at the theme parks, this could be the perfect time to use some magic.

If your family’s soft spot is artsier, use your visual creativity with a dress-up photo shoot. Grab a fancy dress, get some quirky accessories down from the attic, and strike a pose! Why not recreate a scene from a classic movie poster or an artwork you all love? For inspiration, check out some Lockdown Art Challenge pictures—there are plenty of great ideas your family could use!

5. A Pet-Friendly Gallery

If you have pets, no doubt your smartphone’s already loaded with photos of your cute companions! The best of these will make a perfect focal point in your living room. Pets are part of the family, and it’s always a good time to celebrate that special connection between you and your fluffy (or scaly!) friends.

To capture their unique personality, you can include your pets in an activity-centered photo shoot or a family portrait collection (see above).

The Photos are Ready, So What’s Next?

Once you’ve decided on the photos you want to print, all that’s left is to find a trusted manufacturer. We recommend playing it safe here and choosing a company with years of experience like CanvasDiscount.com. The custom printing giant produces thousands of canvas prints and other photo gifts every year and uses cutting-edge technology combined with hands-on craftsmanship to ensure first-class results every time.

So if you’ve got some family photos that are too good to stay hidden on your smartphone, CanvasDiscount.com should be your first choice for custom printing—premium prints, all at bargain prices that have to be seen to be believed!
