When it comes to options for canvas art like the family portrait, it can seem like there\u2019s just one accepted way because almost everyone does it exactly the same: The same poses, at the same ages. But if our ability to create awesome wall art using canvas printing services has taught us nothing else it\u2019s that you can be creative in an infinite variety of ways.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re thinking that some good old-fashioned family portraiture is a great way to decorate your home or make some amazing gifts for your loved ones \u2013 you\u2019re right. But that doesn\u2019t mean you have to approach it the same as everyone else. Here are some ideas that can take your family portraiture to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>DON\u2019T FORGET THE GRANDPARENTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many families include the grandparents in their family portraits, of course. Including the older generation is a great way to reaffirm that link that stretches back throughout time to your ancestors, and is also a great way to include the grandparents in the goings-on in your family.<\/p>\n<p>But instead of simply having a great photo of your grandparents made into beautiful art prints, try this: Find their old wedding photos and choose one that really captures their spirit and their relationship, then have them recreate the pose! Perhaps without the wedding dress and tuxedo, but with the same background, body poses, and other details. Then you can have the original wedding photo hung alongside the new one for an amazing effect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Portal of Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1218\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Preserving-memories-as-wall-art-500-x-333.jpg\" alt=\"Preserving memories as wall art\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Preserving-memories-as-wall-art-500-x-333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Preserving-memories-as-wall-art-500-x-333-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/Preserving-memories-as-wall-art-500-x-333-262x174.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another great idea is to have the parents each take photos where they are holding older photos of themselves. If you\u2019re just starting off as a couple, this is a great opportunity to set up a long-term art project that will both celebrate your family and blow people away.<\/p>\n<p>First, find a photo of yourself from some time in the past \u2013 it could be a childhood photo, a college picture, or just when you were starting out as an adult. Then, have a nice big print made, and hold it as you pose for the current portrait. Then, start taking new versions every year or two or three, except hold the <i>last<\/i> photo taken in each new one. Over time you\u2019ll create images where the past is literally right there in each photo, showing your development.<\/p>\n<p>This can then be done with kids as they appear on the scene and even grandparents if they want in on the fun. After a decade, you\u2019ll have some of the most amazing family portraits in the neighbourhood!<\/p>\n<p>Your family is unique \u2013 why would you ever treat them like everyone else\u2019s family? Do something creative with your family portraits \u2013 and when you have created something truly special that capture the spirit and tenor of your family, <a title=\"Create amazing family portraits now\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canvasfactory.com\">send us the photos<\/a> and we will make those memories into awesome canvas prints for your walls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The family portrait is a staple of wall art in the home, but everyone tends to approach it the same way.
