If you’re showing photos of your kids to your parents or loving siblings, they’ll focus on your pictures. They are the most forgiving of all audiences. This doesn’t mean you can’t take a few minutes to present your pictures nicely. For a gift, consider matting or framing the photo. There are many specialty frames available that can accent your receiver’s décor. If your father and your daughter share a love of sports, consider framing your daughter’s photo in a frame with a sports theme.

A frame implies the photo should be displayed, so do be aware of space. It can be presumptuous to think that even your parents or darling sister want to hang one of your photos – even a family portrait – on a wall.

A nice compromise is a photo in a photo folder (available through some photography stores and on various web sites). It gives the photo a polished touch, making it special, but leaves the choice of displaying it up to the person receiving the photo.
