What size print should I order? Why BIGGER is ALWAYS BETTER!

After clients view their photos, one of the first
questions always asked is,
“what size print should I get”?
My best advice is GO BIG! 
And by BIG I don’t mean an 8x10. 
Let me show you visually why a larger print is better.
First… here’s what an 8x10 looks like hanging over a couch:

Maybe you were thinking an 8x10 was a
little too big?  Here’s a 5x7:

Looks like a postage stamp, doesn’t it?
  Now don’t get me wrong.  And 8x10 or 5x7 are
perfect for the desk in your office, or your nightstand
in your bedroom. 
But when you’re displaying your portrait in
a common area, THINK BIG!!

Now what if you have several photos you’d like to
display?  What sizes should you get?
Here are a few examples of ways you can arrange
your photos:

There are countless other ways to arrange your
photos. 
Hopefully this helps!
