Summer is drawing to a close and the kids are back at school. Now is a great time to look through all the photos you’ve taken of your kids this summer and pick out the best ones to get them printed. You could put together a whole series to make a photo album of your vacation or just pick out one photo that really captures the joyous feeling of your family vacation and get it printed on to canvas so that the memory will last you forever.
Canvas prints are a fantastic way of preserving and displaying your very best photos and building up a gallery of gorgeous memories of your children. Good canvas prints are printed on archival quality canvas, which will last for over a hundred years and are coated with a special UV protective spray to stop them fading. They are the equivalent of the ancestral oil paintings hanging on the walls of stately homes, except that these days they are affordable for all of us and much more fun!
You don’t need to choose solemn portraits for your canvas prints. Any informal moment that captures your kids with happy laughing smiles has the makings of a wonderful picture for your family gallery. Vacations are great times to grab these moments when you are relaxed and have more time to spend with your kids and just play with them and with your camera.
Make a selection of all the pictures of your kids that you like from your summer and then view them large on your computer screen in a slideshow. Look through it several times, stand back and see how the pictures look from a distance. You should begin to get a feel of which photos will translate into prints that you’ll enjoying looking at on the wall for the years to come. Of course no-one is saying that you just have to choose one photo to print. A whole series of photos from one vacation can make a very effective display on your wall. You are only limited by the space that you have available on your walls and by your budget for printing.
Remember too that when you send your photos off to be printed on canvas you can ask for some re-touching to be done, so if there is a picture that you love which is spoiled by an unsightly background or a splash of chocolate ice-cream down the front of a pretty summer dress, then you can still have it printed with the help of a little digital magic.
So get sorting through your summer photos and re-capture your vacation with a beautiful canvas print of your kids having the time of their lives.
