One of the most fun parts of owning a photography business is finding out what people buy after it's said and done. For the most part the smiling portrait style photos are the biggest sellers which isn't surprising, I have plenty of those myself-they're then accented with the more non traditional images. Since I know what's on my client's walls, I thought I'd share what's on mine. I just ordered my wall last month and these are the photos I chose.
I ordered each of these in a matted 16x20 frame and it takes up the entire back wall of my house. As a disclaimer my house is far from a showcase house- it's cluttered with kids' toys and knicks in the paint from one too many ministicks games and chair twirling gone wild episodes. When I look at these they make me smile though- and helps me to remember that chipped paint and clutter really isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of life.
On the far opposite wall above my desk looks like this.
Please excuse the dying Christmas tree plant in the corner, it's not pretty but I love the lights at night when I'm working- it feels so cozy. Someday I"ll replace it with a fake that I can't kill.
I have to run to the school quick- somehow I forgot to get Kaarina's lunch in her backpack today. She'll probably panic if she realizes that it's not there. Have a great day!
Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your world. I'm always curious what the pros do. I like how you mix white and black frames with color and b&w prints.
