Canvas Factory review (and giveaway!) • Mid Century Mom

I so rarely get professional photos taken of my kids. Probably because the iPhone is in my hand most of the time and I always snap quick pictures that way.

And here lately because getting them to pose for a picture feels impossible!

But this year I finally got my act together and booked a photo shoot for the boys for cotton pictures. I don’t think there are many backdrops in nature prettier than a bright white cotton field, so the rolling combines this October kicked me into gear and we got it done!

The only doubt I had in my mind was about my feisty little red head. And even though the photographer was excellent with them and very talented, Tom still managed to look like he was posing for toddler mug shots.

The struggle is real. I do have a picture of them both smiling….from a few MONTHS ago….but it isn’t great quality. I suppose the idea is to capture who they are at this point in time, so picture perfect isn’t the likely option for almost 2 and 3.5, but a girl can dream right?

Anyway…I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to receive a free canvas from Canvas Factory (in exchange for my honest review) and it was the perfect timing to order a large canvas of our cotton shoot, smiles or not.

Keep reading for my review and for information on how one of my readers will also win a code for a free canvas print from Canvas Factory!

The first thing I noticed about Canvas Factory was the extreme ease of use on their website. It was super user friendly to hop onto https://www.canvasfactory.com/ and get started.

I selected the 20×16 and uploaded a shot of both boys where Tom looks less angry and more like a moody model, which may be what he was going for all along…

I used their tool to preview it and opted for the mirror image feature on the sides so I didn’t have to use up any of the actual image in the canvas wrapping process. I wouldn’t recommend doing a mirror image of a face or anything like that, but it wasn’t obvious with the cotton.

It arrived very quickly (same week–I’m talking 5 days after I ordered, it was in my kitchen). And it arrived in perfect shape. The quality may not photograph as clearly as it could, so I’m not sure if you can tell here, but it looks great!

Hopefully you can see what I meant by “mirror image” wrap option in the photo above. The edges aren’t a part of the original image, just a mirror image of it so I didn’t have to forfeit any image to the wrapping process.

The canvas corners were very tight and neat. I have ordered from other companies before where the corners are folded messy and look…thick…if you can envision that. It’s kind of like comparing professional wrapping jobs to my wrapping jobs.

A nice feature is the finished back so that the canvas is more protected. My other canvas prints from other companies are just open in the back, and if you were to press against it the canvas would show that indent on the front side.

Another extra touch is that the hanging hardware comes already attached (not the case for the last canvas I ordered elsewhere).

Overall, I am so pleased with my new canvas from Canvas Factory and do not have any cons to report. Considering this is my first product review, I really did inspect the product and consider the process before I delivered my verdict…but I can’t hide that it’s a glowing review.

The speedy shipping, finished back with attached hardware, and the quality won me over so they are my new go-to for printing canvas. I can’t wait to try out some of the other products on their site!
