What Products Pair Best with Heirloom Portraits?

If you’ve invested in heirloom portraits, the next question is often “How do I display these in my home?” Choosing the right products transforms your portraits from digital files into meaningful artwork—pieces that tell your family’s story and become part of your home for generations.

As a Berwick, Louisiana heirloom photographer, I help families not only create timeless portraits, but also select products that fit their space, style, and season of life. Below are some of our favorite heirloom products and how they pair beautifully with classic portraiture.

The Standard Trio: A Client Favorite

One of our most popular wall art options is the Standard Trio, which includes:

  • Two 11x14 framed portraits

  • One 16x20 framed portrait

This arrangement is intentionally designed to fit perfectly behind a standard couch, making it an easy and timeless choice for living rooms, family rooms, and sitting areas.

The trio allows you to:

  • Showcase multiple children or expressions

  • Create visual balance without overwhelming the space

  • Design a gallery that feels polished and intentional

This setup works beautifully for heirloom portraits because it highlights simplicity, symmetry, and classic framing—letting your child’s portrait remain the focus.

Desk Frames: Small Scale, Big Impact

Desk frames are perfect for:

  • Home offices

  • Nightstands

  • Bookshelves

  • Entry tables

These smaller heirloom pieces allow you to enjoy your portraits in everyday spaces without committing to a full wall display. They also make wonderful gifts for grandparents or keepsakes for future milestones.

A single desk frame can stand alone or be layered with other décor for a collected, lived-in look.

Glass Box with Prints

The glass box with fine art prints is one of our most versatile heirloom products.

Why clients love it:

  • Stores prints safely while still being on display

  • Allows you to rotate images seasonally

  • Works beautifully on coffee tables, consoles, and shelves

This option is perfect for families who love flexibility but still want their portraits to feel intentional and elevated.

Double Folios

Double folios feature two matted prints bound together, making them ideal for:

  • Sibling portraits

  • Two expressions of the same child

  • Gifting

They’re easy to display on shelves or mantels and are especially popular for heirloom sessions where simplicity and softness are key.

Holiday Ornaments (Yes—Even for Heirlooms)

Heirloom portraits don’t have to stay on the wall year-round. Custom holiday ornaments are a beautiful way to:

  • Celebrate each season of childhood

  • Create meaningful holiday traditions

  • Add a personal touch to your décor

These pieces are small but deeply sentimental—and often become family favorites over time.

Why Product Selection Matters

Heirloom portraits are designed to last. Choosing the right products ensures your images:

  • Are displayed, not stored away

  • Fit naturally into your home

  • Grow with your family over time

During your ordering appointment, I help guide you through sizing, placement, and product selection so your portraits feel cohesive and timeless.
