How to make the most of your family portraits with Verve’s digital images

So you’ve come in for a Verve family photoshoot, and you loved the images. You’ve laughed, posed, and wrangled the kids into place, and now you have some beautiful memories. Like many other families, you have fallen in love with the pictures and have chosen to include digital images in your package.

Very good choice.

Family portraits are more than just photographs; they

make memories permanent

The possibilities are endless. Instead of letting those portraits live only on your devices, why not turn them into everyday items or gifts?

To help spark some inspiration, here are some of our favourite ways to make the most of your Verve family portraits.

Photo books and legacy albums

If you love going through old family albums, a photo book is a perfect option. These albums are affordable, interactive, and perfect for families with young children, who will enjoy flipping through the pages again and again.

For something a bit more luxurious, Verve also offers handcrafted Legacy Albums printed on the highest quality rigid art paper. These heirloom books elevate your portraits into a timeless keepsake that can be passed down through generations of your family.

Greeting cards and invitations

One of the more heartfelt ways to use your portraits is by using them for personalised postcards, greeting cards, or invitations. Perfect for sending a Christmas card that has your smiling family, a Valentine’s card for your partner, or a birthday card for Grandma with the grandkids on the front. Things they will want to keep forever.

For milestone occasions like anniversaries or your kids’ birthdays, you can even design invitations with your portraits. It’s a simple, meaningful way to share love with family and friends, and far more special than a store-bought card.


Share your family portraits online

​​Digital images are perfect for spreading joy beyond your home. Creating a private online gallery for family members overseas, sharing a highlight reel on Instagram, or posting a full album to Facebook. Whether it’s one favourite shot or the entire set, your family portraits are made for online use. 

These days, it’s easier than ever to connect with loved ones around the world. Sharing your portraits online is a great way to keep connections alive, no matter the distance between you.

Pure joy. heart-bursting, and incredibly emotional,

“At this age, parents are their comfort and safety, and being there with them during the photoshoot brings out the best in them.” 


Keep them at home

Of course, one of the most traditional ways to enjoy your portraits is by having them at home. You can choose to do a single framed picture, a series of canvases, or a modern gallery wall down the hallway.

Surrounding yourself with your family portraits turns your living space into a celebration of love, laughter, and memories with your family. Every time you pass by, you’ll be reminded of the fun time you had with us at the studio.

Personalised gifts and treasures

You can also turn your portraits into a gift or items you’ll use every day. Many online sites allow you to customise mugs, keyrings, or phone cases with your images. Picture sipping your morning coffee from a mug with your children’s happy faces on it, cheesy but adorable. Or carrying a keyring with your favourite family photo.

These also make perfect personalised gifts for the relatives.
For something extra fun, you can even design personalised wrapping paper. When you are gifting a present wrapped in paper featuring your family portraits, the wrapping itself becomes part of the gift. It’s a playful, thoughtful detail that makes any occasion feel special.

All together

At the end of the day, family portraits aren’t just about the photos themselves; they’re about the memories, the fun, and the story they tell. You have so many options to bring those memories into your life in so many creative ways. From keepsake albums and greeting cards to coffee mugs and wall art.

Don’t let your portraits get lost on a hard drive; print them off, share them, wrap them around gifts, and hang them proudly on your walls. They deserve to be part of your everyday life, and you deserve those little reminders of love and family.
