Child portrait photography has HUGE benefits for you and your family.
While looking at adorable photos of our kiddos on your phone is fun, decorating your home with photos can pay off big-time with a boost for your child’s self esteem.
Child portrait photography is a big investment of time and money, and what is your ultimate goal? To “capture” them when they’re still cute? Send photos to Grandma? Post to social media?
All of those are wonderful reasons to get professional photos of your kids, but where does this investment really pay off?
The Unseen Benefit of Photos in Your Home
Sure, your kids are cute, and purchasing prints of their photos to hang in your home will make you smile every day.
But, what impact will seeing these photos have on your kids?
A study done at Tulane University concluded that children who see photos of themselves have higher self esteem than those that are not exposed to their own photos. Check it out here.
Portraits hung in your home is a public display of pride in your child, and they’ll recognize that. They’ll soon understand that your family values each unique and special child.
A Sense of Belonging and History
In addition, decorating your home with photos will teach kids that they’re part of a group of people who understand and accept them as they are.
They’ll come to realize that this group goes back generations. They’ll also see their place in the larger story of your extended family.
Why is it beneficial to display photos of babies and toddlers? Experts say children already have a sense of self-esteem by the age of five. As your family grows you can show to each child that they are a valued part of the pack by including them on the walls of your home.
