If you’re anything like me, your phone houses thousands of photos, but your home is shockingly devoid of printed images.
Erica Connolly understands the predicament. The Texas photographer frames and sells photography of her travels, but even for a professional, she says narrowing down which shots are worth printing and hanging can be difficult. The first step, she says, is a serious culling after each vacation or special occasion.
“When I get back from a trip, I choose 10 favorites that are either going to go in my print shop or on my own walls. Those tend to be the ones that have a story behind them and make me happy when I see them,” she says. “I also lean toward framing photos that reflect my own personal interior space — for example, if the colors or vibe match what I already have going in my home, I’m naturally going to gravitate toward those images.”
Connolly advises not overthinking things and framing “anything that evokes a memory or feeling.” Here’s more advice from her and other experts about how to incorporate framed photography into your space.
