Many parents, like mine, have hung every portrait ever taken whether it be just their children or family portraits.<\/strong>\u00a0It has been proven to boost a\u00a0child’s\u00a0self esteem\u00a0when they see themselves in portraits\u00a0hanging\u00a0around the\u00a0house.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to David Krauss, who is a psychologist from Cleveland Ohio it’s important to have those family\/children portraits. It helps children see themselves as an important and valued part of the family unit.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

As a photographer, I am biased, they say that there is something powerful in touching your fingers to an actual print.\u00a0<\/strong>There\u2019s\u00a0 stimulation of the brain when you have that sensory experience like touching a portrait. There isn’t really any of that in the digital\u00a0world with all the social media that exists. You are touching a keyboard, mouse or a touchscreen but you are not touching the actual image that involves your child or family.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children like to feel like they belong, especially in this world that we live in today. Photographers get to create an image where the child feels safe and protected. They can look back on this even when they’re\u00a0older and remember that safe feeling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

So yes, not hanging portraits doesn’t do any harm, but hanging them could help your child!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are some photos from my clients of them hanging portraits I captured!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
