Top 5 Reasons Why You Need Wall Art of Your Pet

Jan 26

You’ve carefully curated your outfit for your professional pet photography session, and you coordinated the session date with your dog’s grooming session.

Everyone had a great time at your session, and as expected you fell in love with many of the images from your custom pet photography session. And now it’s time to pick your favorites and create some wall art.

Sure, you could purchase just the digitals.

In my view, buying just digitals is delaying a decision - will you REALLY print the images from your session, or will they live their lives on a hard drive somewhere until your computer dies?

Deciding to invest in wall art with the guidance of your pet photographer is a rewarding experience. Here are some reasons to invest in wall art.

It’s personal. Wall art from your pet photography session is by definition personalized. One of my decorating heroes- Nate Berkus- is often advising clients that their homes should rise up to meet you. He adds that decorating is not solely about making your space pretty; rather, it’s about creating a space that is personal and meaningful to you. What better way to personalize your space than with wall art of your beloved pet?
Technology changes. Remember burning photos to a CD for safekeeping? Me too. Good luck finding a CD player these days. Computers crash, phones get lost or die. Storing precious, once in a lifetime photo memories on a phone or computer is a gamble. Prints, on the other hand, last lifetimes.
It brings joy. Imagine coming home from a stressful day at work (or walking from your office to your living room). Your shoulders ache and all you want it comfy clothes and relaxing night on the couch with some yummy takeout. How amazing would it be to see your pet’s face doing that thing that makes you laugh, right here above your couch? Bonus points if you allow yourself to return to the fun experience of photo day - it’ll take the edge off.
A legacy. One of the most tragic things about having pets is that we usually outlive them. Your wall art can serve as a visual memorial to your pet’s legacy - the love you shared, the joy they brought.
It’s tangible. Beautiful portraits of you and your pet are a tangible heirloom. No need to worry that you’ll lose your image with your phone, or when your computer crashes.
