JC-Originals Photography: How Big is Big Enough??

Hello and welcome to my blog!

This is where I share sneak peeks with my clients and tidbits of my family through photography. I'm very blessed to be doing what I've always wanted to do... stay at home with my 3 beautiful children and photograph those around me; all with the support of my loving husband. In the meantime, sit back, relax and enjoy a little bit of us and my photography! Oh and I love comments... Let me know you're reading and what you like about it!

How Big is Big Enough??

Do you ever wonder how big you should go when you order a wall portrait? Most people don't realize how small an 8x10 really is...

Recently my sister in law was looking to fill a space in her home above her fireplace... Well, we went big--how big? Pretty big! We actually did a custom size to fit her particular space, but basically it was right under 30x40 if I remember correctly.

I had her take a couple of pictures to show you the end result...

Could you imagine how tiny an 8x10 would have looked up there? ;-) The pic in the frame on the actual mantle is a 4x6 just to give you a comparison. So don't be afraid to go BIG! Show everyone just how beautiful that family of yours is--don't be shy about it!
