While at Lux Me Images, most customers would have already decided the number and sizes of the wall portraits they need. Some, will seek my advice as to what is appropriate. This is what I usually do, i.e. list the various consdierations and benefits, lay them on the table and let them decide. Now imagine that I am talking to you, in my studio.
1. If cost and affordability is your sole factor, go for the largest size you can afford to pay for without incurring more debts, especially in credit cards. I will not do it.
2. If the space available on the wall of your home is a factor, go for the largest size your wall can accommodate, without decorating it asymmetrically, or making it an odd decorative item.
3. If money and wall space is not a factor, you have a happy family, go for a size which is one size larger than that you have seen in your friends or relatives house.
4. If your family portrait depicts more than three generations, go for the largest size you and your wall can afford/accomondate. It is rear to get three generations in a studio portrait, and believe me this portrait will be passed down to future generations.
Now you may wonder i keep recommending larger wall portraits. There are many benefits. Have you ever been to a museum, houses of the rich or palaces?, well if have, then, you would have seen nothing but large wall paintings or portraits, for these are the ones that were considered valuble, withstood the test of times and got preserved and valued by the community. The subjects in those portraits will be definitely someone who has a sense of achievement, and wished to celebrate his success and existance. Seen a hunter with his kill at his feet in such portraits?

So how does this work out in your home?. Your large wall portraits will get noticed by one who walk into your doorstep, no way it can escape ones eyes. What more if it is a beautiul portrait of your family, it will radiate happiness and inspire the viewer in various ways.
(remember a hundred images in an album, will not have the same effect as one big wall portrait, because all those images can be considered living live in dark rooms, exposed to light and human eyes once in several years. Howmany times have you looked at your wedding album in the past years? as opposed to how many times have you looked at the, "wedding day" wall portrait during the same period of time?. Images are recordings of your good times meant to be seen and felt as often as possible, and wall portraits will serve that end well. Listen, you need all the images that you can store and preserve during your lifespan, they are very valuble, but the immediate need during ones lifetime are large wall portraits to feel good when you are going through life).
People in the entertainment field love large images, they get much energy and power from them, to continue with their work.
So next time when you feel that you have a happy family and wish to celebrate that happy co-existance, get a beautiful family portrait done and blow it up to the largest size your wall and wallet can accomondate. do not be modest in expressing you hapiness and love in this respect.
