Displaying our family photos is something we do to personalise our home, decorate and just make it feel more ‘us’. But, what if I told you that you were improving your children’s mental wellbeing just by hanging photos from your family photoshoots?

There are many reason’s why, but I’ve narrowed it down to my favourite 3 reasons for my beautiful Perth families:

1. Reinforcing a sense of belonging

Family photos capture your family as a unique unit, where every member is valued and appreciated. Imagine, your children walk past the framed photos and see themselves as part of that loving family unit, they feel a sense of belonging and importance. Moreover, that feeling strengthens their sense of emotional security, reinforcing that they not just exist here but that they BELONG.

2. Boosts their self-confidence

Taking, printing and framing images of your children sends a strong message that they are worthy and important. It is a gentle reminder that they matter and helps them internalise positive feelings about themselves and make them feel proud.

It’s the equivalent of opening your partners wallet and seeing a photo of you in that tiny clear photo slot. That small gesture brings about positive feelings and makes you feel secure in your relationship. That’s exactly what it does for your children.

3. It encourages positive family dynamics

To have your family sessions displayed around the house helps centre your home around your personal family values. It brings about a sense of unity and a positive family unit. It communicates how important family is and encourages a space for mutual love and respect towards one another.

Seeing photos of them interacting with their siblings and parents in a positive way helps reinforce that this is their safe space, this is who loves them and this is where they can always come home to, wherever that home may be.

Choosing the right photographer is paramount in capturing the best family photos. My play-based sessions and natural prompts ensure your family feels comfortable and present, resulting in authentically YOU family photos.
