Naming Ceremonies Canvas Prints

A naming ceremony remembers the welcome a child received from the people around them.

Why it belongs on canvas

New parents take thousands of photos and print almost none. A canvas in the nursery or lounge becomes part of the child's own story, something they will grow up looking at and one day ask about. A photograph chosen for this particular memory makes the print personal rather than interchangeable. Think about the story you want to see each time you pass it, and the people who will share that view.

Choosing your photo

Look for the child with the people taking part, retaining details of the setting when they explain the ceremony.

Where to hang it

Ask the family which wording and relationships are appropriate before suggesting names or ceremonial text on the canvas.
