go big or go home! {santa barbara family photography}

April 26, 2010 | inspiration

Sometimes my husband gets a huge kick out of my motto, “go big or go home!”  I say, “why not?!”

Lately I’ve been using my theme of go big in photography.  When I meet with clients and we discuss which images should adorn their walls, most will gravitate towards an 8×10 or 11×14 sizes.  After I show them a few sample frames and canvases that are usually middle of the road (16×20, 20×24), their faces light up in recognition as they realize that 8×10 canvas will be swallowed whole by the wall.

Don’t be afraid to “go big” with your prints and canvases…or to create a huge canvas grid (9 to 12 to 16 images) out of smaller sizes such as 10×10 or 8×10.

I love this image below from Elle Decor…this designer wasn’t afraid to go big with frames and it actually tames down the bright red wall color but still gives the room flare  :)

Happy Monday!
