{Gallery Wrap Canvases}

Everyone knows how much I adore canvas prints and that I have many in my home.  I think everyone should have a collection gracing their walls.  Why go small when you can go big?  Why hang one when you can create a piece of art or tell a story with a series of three?  Does your child always need to be smiling.....why not mix in some serious expressions?  Does your child always need to be looking straight into the camera.....why not mix in and enlarge an image of them exploring, cute backside or profile?

Here is a series of three 20 x 30 canvas prints I just opened from the lab today (they look smaller in the below pic than they really are)!  The Larson family will be hanging in the entry of their home.  They measured their space and we went as large as we could to fill up the space.

The canvas material is hand-wrapped around a wood frame and is ready to hang!  Instant art.  Would three 5 x 7s of these same images create the same impact?  I encourage you look at your wall space and to think about a series of larger sized prints or canvases of your favorite images.  Kids change so fast, so be sure to preserve the memories!

What an adorable girl I had the opportunity to photograph again (took her 3 month photos).  Claire's big blue eyes melt your heart.  She was in love with the red bench during the entire session and didn't want to get off or have us remove it.

I'm loving the new black and white backdrop I just added to my collection!  Two looks ~ back drop is in full focus with studio lights and blurs out with natural light.
